With bills arriving from all the holiday shopping for Christmas, we are very budget-conscious here at MobilePhones.org.uk – both our personal budgets and those of our readers, so we’re bringing you another inexpensive mobile phone, but this one is available without a contract. The pre-pay model to which we refer is the LG Extravert, a model name we just loved.
Overview
This slider smartphone presents a full QWERTY keyboard for easy texting and emailing and posting to your favourite social networks.
The compact, cheap mobile phone has a rather stylish appearance with decent resolution and colour sharpness. We like the distinctive function buttons at the bottom: There’s no mistaking the Talk button for the Home button, et all. Good contrast and isolated areas help prevent the “oops” factor from slipping in.
