LG PM-225
The PM-225 is a great deal at under $50, but is a mixed bag design-wise. Its antenna-free clamshell style makes it look attractive, but the cramped keypad can get a bit frustrating.
The integrated VGA camera is surprisingly good for the price, and sending pictures by email is a quick and user-friendly process.
Voice dialing and speakerphone functions make this an excellent hands-free phone for driving, and call quality has been tested as above average. Data access is a bit slow over Sprint’s 1xRTT network, but it gets the job done.
Overall, the LG PM-225 is a fairly basic, but its one of the best phones you’ll find in such a low price range.
