LG VX5400 Review

While the LG VX5400 lacks a lot of fancy features such as a touch-screen display, or gigs of internal memory, for $49 bucks you get Bluetooth, a good camera, and a phone that simply works as it should.

Snip:

"The LG VX5400 is light, weighing only a couple ounces, and its entire open clamshell frame will fit comfortably in the average hand. The shell is a shiny space-age, almost tinny silver, with a thick black border surrounding the vertical screen that is just over one inch by two inches. The bottom half has a flat, immobile directional pad, with each direction opening a menu such as contacts or calendar. Next to the pad are two basic menu keys, clear, speakerphone, send and end. A number pad is below, flat with raised bumps to separate keys.

On the left side of the phone are volume buttons and a power jack. On the right side is the voice command button and the camera key. Close the clamshell and a small color monitor will show the time, date, battery power and other details. Above the monitor is the camera lens for the VGA camera.

As mentioned earlier, LG keeps things really basic here. The Internet function and speed are fine, but it uses the abbreviated “phone” Internet view. Traditional websites like Yahoo! appear a little mashed up, which will be a shock to those used to PC-accurate representations on their cell phones."
