Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff – b’dom, tssh! The old ones are the best, but now, thanks to self professed ‘geek comedian’ Tom Scott we actually know this is fact – because he threw two drums and a cymbal off a cliff! Being big fans of Tom Scott’s work we asked him to come up with a fun video using nothing but 2 VIP Lady GaGa tickets and some LG GW620 InTouch Max phones. So Tom devised ‘The Lady GaGa Race’. The idea is simple, get in touch with 2 friends either side of the country and tell them the first person to reach him at the LG Arena Birmingham wins a VIP ticket to see GaGa and the loser gets left out in the cold

In this weeks Gadget Show web.tv episode, Jon Bentley puts the LG InTouch Max GW620 through its paces. His review highlights the value for money of the GW620, citing the QWERTY keyboard, the 5 megapixel camera, a 3.5 mm headphone socket and the range of connectivity as just some of the bonuses. He does ring up the resistive touchscreen and use of android 1.5 as drawbacks, but concedes that none of the flaws are big enough to defeat the proposition of the phone, namely a Smartphone that won’t break the bank! Watch the full video for yourselves below. Also featured on The Gadget Show’s web.tv this week is a feature on the LG EL9500 OLED TV.
