This multimedia mobile phone from LG has a host of features. The external display is just 1.25 inches but you can flip it open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard and a 2.25 inch high quality color screen inside. The keyboard is ideal for text message junkies and there’s also a 2 Megapixel camera. You can use it to listen to music by inserting a microSD card and there are some good quality speakers when you open the phone up.

It may not be the most attractive device but the keyboard and internal screen are great, there’s plenty of memory and it does have a wide range of added extras. You can record short video clips, personalize the phone with a range of themes and ring tones, browse the web or even play games. It may not be able to compete with the BlackBerry but it is a good cheap alternative.
