LG F9200 Instant Messaging/Mobile Cellullar Phone (Unlocked)

$147.99

This successor to the F9100 adds a camera and updated styling, but is otherwise similar. Key features of this messaging-oriented GSM phone include a slide-out text keyboard, instant messaging, class 10 GPRS, voice dialing, Java, and an internal antenna.

Despite the LG F9200's bulk (4.34 by 1.97 by 0.97 inches; 4.72 ounces), its pearly white body, silvery keypad, and navy-blue accents still make it an attractive phone. Besides, it's bulky for a reason. Although it may look like an ordinary candy bar phone at first glance.

the LG F9200 hides a full QWERTY keyboard behind the front face. To expose it, just slide open the front face to the left lengthwise, then position the phone horizontally in order to text.

Holding the phone this way is comfortable enough, though we had issues with the feel of the individual keys (more below). Overall, however, the phone's heft feels nice in the hand and comfortable when held against the ear.

On the left spine is the volume rocker, and there's a camera button and an earphone jack on the right. A camera lens and a self-portrait mirror are located on the back.

GSM 850 / GSM 1900

Large color screen rotates 90 degrees for IM, text messaging, and address book functions (landscape with slide open; portrait with slide closed)
