LG's GW300 looks like a low-end WinMo phone, but isn't

For some reason LG's just-announced GW300 screams "cheap smartphone" to us, but don't be fooled -- there's not a trace of smartphone-ish-ness to be found here. Instead, you've got goodies like an integrated Facebook client to keep the young ones happy, piled atop a 3G-free EDGE radio, 2.4-inch QVGA display, USB mass storage mode support, stereo Bluetooth, and naturally, a full QWERTY keyboard. No word on pricing or availability, but we wouldn't be surprised to see this one become a prepaid superstar in some parts of the globe.

This looks pretty similar to the Dash 3G

It does. Just what any 12-year old kid without a sense of purpose or value would want. Other than that, it looks great! LoL

That's a nice looking phone. Functional, some design. Not overly complicated.

Hmmmmmm, this looks oddly like... a Blackberry?

Keyboard looks like it came from the Motorola Q Global. Good for pre-teens.

The bastard lovechild between a Sony Ericsson and a Motorola Q? No wonder LG sales surpassed the others.

I can tell right now that this phone will end up at AT&T.
It has AT&T written all over its blueish white goodness.

That's what the LG Neon should've been, atleast...it looks like that's what it should've been.
Maybe its just a personal thing. Overall, cute phone though.
