In this sense, the terminal supports Push email, corporate email and integrates direct access to the main social networks such as Myspace or Facebook . LG has incorporated an application, more curious than anything else, called Livesquare . It is a home screen that shows a kind of square full of tiny people who represent our contacts and who are displaying text balloons in real time as our contacts send us an SMS, update their status on Facebook or start a chat on Messenger , among other actions. A fun way, in short, to have quick access to our most common communication channels .
