LG Phoenix

LG's value-priced Optimus One smartphone has finally made it over to AT&T. Dubbed the Phoenix here, it lets bargain hunters step to a real Android cell phone for just $29.99 with a two year contract. At this price, the Phoenix does the job just fine. But AT&T subscribers also have the ability to get a $49.99 Apple iPhone 3GS (4.5 stars), which makes the Phoenix a bit less compelling than its siblings on Sprint and T-Mobile. The LG Phoenix measures 4.5 by 2.3 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs just 3.2 ounces. That's light for an Android phone, and this is the lightest Optimus variant by far. It's made mostly of a soft touch, slate blue plastic that's comfortable to hold. The 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen offers 320-by-480-pixel resolution; it's bright, if not particularly smooth to the touch, but it does the job. Four backlit, plastic function buttons sit beneath the screen, and have just the right amount of give. The on-screen QWERTY keyboards are a little cramped, but LG redesigned the keyboards to have slightly larger keys. The typing experience was okay; other phones are roomier and a bit more responsive. The LG Phoenix is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and tri-band HSDPA 7.2 (850/1800/2100 MHz) device with 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.

LG Phoenix Review

Seeing that just about every wireless carrier under the sun has been offering their version of the LG Optimus One for some time, now AT&T is finally getting its fill of the budget friendly Android smartphone. Enduring the wait has been agreeably daunting, especially when it first arrived stateside back last fall, but its release should nonetheless offer a certain degree of satisfaction amongst customers. Also available as the LG Thrive over on the carrier’s prepaid lineup, the $29.99 on-contract LG Phoenix P505 might be able to rise under the ashes and still present itself as a decent handset despite being late to the game.The package contains:Following accordingly to the design style of previous variants, the LG Phoenix definitely has an appreciable design that’s solidly built for an inexpensive smartphone. Donning a bluish soft touch coating all around, it keeps the handset looking clean while repelling additional debris from caking onto it – plus, its chrome trim bezel sprinkles a bit of distinguishable character to it. Size Visualization ToolRegarded as a basic smartphone, we’re still happy to see the handset sporting a reasonable (320 x 480) – though, its feel is on the plasticy side.

LG Phoenix

The first entry-level LG Optimus phone to arrive in the U.S. was the LG Optimus T for T-Mobile. Modeled after its international cousin, the Optimus One, the Optimus T had surprisingly great features for a basic smartphone. They include 3G support, Wi-Fi, and mobile hot-spot capability for up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices. It also shipped with Android 2.2, which was the latest Android OS at the time. More surprising was its price--you could get it for under $30 with a contract. Since then, several more entry-level Optimus handsets debuted, each with a different carrier (the Optimus S, the Optimus M, the Optimus V, etc.) The one major carrier that was missing from the list was AT&T. That is, until the LG Phoenix. While it doesn't share the Optimus name, it certainly has the same lineage. The design stays true to the Optimus brand, and the features are similar as well. Of course, it wouldn't be an Optimus handset unless it was affordable--the LG Phoenix is only $49.99 with a two-year contract with AT&T. As you might expect, the LG Phoenix looks very similar to most Optimus phones. At 4.46 inches long by 2.32 inches wide by 0.52 inch deep, it's slender and lightweight, with the same curved corners and hint of silver along its sides.
