With the flood of advanced cell phones being released many people might be a bit intimidated when shopping for a new phone. Not everyone wants a top of the line phone with all the bells and whistles available. People these days still want simple and functional phones. There is a bad stigma with reasonably priced phones that they are terribly made and are completely useless. That is not true; as far as cheaper phones go Sprint has released the LG LX290. It is a reasonably priced phone that is sure to please anyone who cant afford an expensive smartphone.

The LG LX290 is a slide phone that is expertly designed. The slide function feels very sturdy and even gives a pleasing click noise each time the phone is slid open or closed. The phone is relatively small and is comfortable to hold. It also fits neatly into ones pocket. The phone has a small screen but the display is rather nice. Colors, images, and content will appear vibrant and detailed. When the slide compartment is slid up the user will have access to the alphanumeric keypad and four shortcut buttons. The buttons are very useful because they automatically take you to the four most used functions of any cell phone text messaging, e-mail, calendar, and the alarm clock menu.

The features found on the LX290 aren't things that cant be found on other more expensive phones. But what makes this phone unique is that it incorporates many functions that people wouldn't expect on such an affordable phone. For starters the phone has a GPS tracking system with turn by turn directions. Secondly the LX290 features a simple yet functional web browser. Also featured is a USB port for easy filing sharing. The phone is also Bluetooth enabled for headsets and speakers. One of the best features on this phone is the multitude of messaging syncing functions. It allows you to sign on to AIM, AOL, and Yahoo Messenger for instant messages, and Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, and AOL for e-mail.

Unfortunately the camera on the phone is nothing to write home about. The camera is only 1.3 megapixels, which is not much in the cell phone world. The photo quality is decent enough with the pictures appearing blurry and slightly grainy. To help in taking the best looking photos possible there are many image control options. They are three different resolutions, five white balance presets, four color tones, and more. The phone is absent of any video recording capabilities.

Fortunately the phone features an amazing call quality. While using this phone users can experience phone calls absent of any outside interference or static. Callers will sound crystal clear over the ear piece. You will also sound very clear to any caller. The speakerphone works equally well and is simple to use.

This phone is specifically geared towards individuals who aren't interested in having a phone that can do anything and everything. The LG LX290 however is a simple phone with incredibly useful applications which anyone looking for a less packed phone will surely enjoy.
