Looking Into The LG GX500!

lg-gx500-dual-sim-phone-1LG is definitely one of those companies that are making waves all over the place and to be honest, I think that they are coming out with some awesome phones.  Take the brand new LG GX500 which is actually a dual SIM phone that is a candy bar.  The technology that is packed into this phone though is impeccable!

The LG GX500 has a 40MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, a media player, an FM radio, a microUSB port, Bluetooth, a 1500mAh battery and supports GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity.  All of which is incredible for a phone of this size!

No work on pricing or availability right now, however as soon as it becomes available, I will keep you guys updated!

LG L-06A and L-04A Phones: They Rock!

LG L-06A and L-04A PhonesSo let’s talk about LG – I know that we just did a blog about some phones that this particular company was doing, but they are one hot company right now.  Currently, they are coming out with a couple new phones that are geared toward Japan, however they could sneak over to the states if you really wanted one.  The LG L-06A and L-04A phones are two phones that I think everyone will really like – they are touchscreen after all!

These phones feature: swiveling touch panel, a 5.1MP camera, a MicroSD external memory, and HSUPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access) service. The “G” button on the keypad provides users a one-touch connection to Google’s business directory. 

Another cool thing about the LG L-06A and L-04A is the colors!  Red, pink, white, black – every color you can think about pretty much!   Very cool!

LG GB109: Inexpensive & Cool!

LG GB109

When you are looking for just a phone that you can talk on that does not have a whole lot of technology – that can be hard to find.  Honestly, phones, even the inexpensive ones seem to be packed full of technology and are very hard to use – not anymore!  The LG GB109 is actually one of those phones that is geared toward people who are just looking for the stripped down, basic model!

The LG GB109 offers up a 1.5-inch CSTN display with 65K colors, a stereo FM radio, an organizer and a 950 mAh battery that lasts up to 6 hours in talk-time or up to 440 hours in stand-by time. 

The price is just right too and while this little candy bar phone is not for sale in the US just yet, it is available in Ukraine next month for around $148.00.

The LG LX290 Slider Phone For Sprint!

LG LX290To be honest – I try to avoid Sprint phones simply because the Sprint service all together is terrible.  I used to be a Sprint customer for years, however I switched on over to T-Mobile and I could not be happier!  However, Sprint is coming out with some of the coolest phones in the world … the LG LX290 is one of the them.  This phone is actually a slider phone and it is by far one phone that I think that you may need to check out.

While it is little, it is still a slider phone that is pretty cheap (it runs about $29.99 after $50.00 mail-in rebate), the cool thing about this phone is that you have all of the technology of the bigger phones in a small phone.  The LG LX290 offers a 1.33 x 1.77 inches QVGA TFT screen, a 1.3MP camera with 2x digital zoom, GPS (Sprint Navigation), Picture Messaging, Bluetooth, NFL Mobile Live, a 2.5mm headset jack and a 950 mAh battery for up to 6 hours of talk time.

All of this for that low price?  Incredible!  So give Sprint a chance and at least check out this cool looking LG phone!

LG KG800, the chocolate phone

LG

Very now and then a phone comes along which leaves heads turning and the LG KG800 is one such cell phone. The amazing of this sliding phone will make you say `wow’. It has been nicknamed as the chocolate phone because it resembles a bar of chocolate.LG KG800 When other phones are going pink, this phone proves that even dark brown colors can look sexy too. Take a look at the closed phone (this is a sliding cellphone) and there are just the bare necessities, a dark LCD screen, the LG logo and a silver colored `ok’ button. One has to slide open the phone to reveal the full keypad.

Check the edges and you will find that there are other buttons for controlling volume and multimedia. It takes some time getting used to the touch sensitive keys, but once you are habituated, they are awesome to use. The phone features high quality display with a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash. It also has a video camera. The included headset plugs into the charging port. This mobile phone supports MP3 ringtones and the 128 Mbytes of memory it ships with is sufficient, though it would have been better if there were options for installing an additional memory card. At 83 grams, this phone is extremely light and will easily for into your jeans pocket.
