The LG Neon cell phone is the first LG’s messaging phone made especially for AT&T and it comes not only with a full QWERTY keyboard, it has an impressive touch screen and many other powerful features. If you are looking for a smaller and simple handset, the LG Neon cell phone is certainly a great choice. And for a price of $29 with a 2-year contract and a $50 mail-in rebate tax, this handset is the most affordable QWERTY unit. The retail package of this cell phone comes with standard accessories: a charger, a USB cable, headphones and the usual software CD and manuals.




In terms of design, the Neon looks great. It comes with a case made of resistant plastic, with smooth rounded corners, compact form factor and clean lines. Measuring 101.5 x 51 x 16.8 mm in dimensions and 108 grams in weight, this mobile phone is categorized like a slim and light device. Thanks to these values and the great finish, the phone feels very comfortable even if it looks very solid. The front side of the phone is occupied by a touch screen and several hardware buttons: two soft keys, a 4-way button, a Call and an End key, a clear button and the phone dialer key.

On the sides of the unit you will notice a volume rocker, a camera shutter, a microSD card slot and a headset/charger jack. On the back side you will find a camera and a self-portrait mirror. The most attractive and important feature of this mobile phone is the QWERTY keyboard. It is composed by large rounded keys, very responsive and with enough space between them so you will not be able to make mistakes by pressing wrong keys during typing your texts.  Being very spacious, this keyboard is excellent for fast writers, offering a comfortable experience during typing.



As we said, the front side of the phone presents a 2.4 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Supporting 256K colors, this display will offer great quality images, with sharp colors, good contrast and brightness. Being very responsive, you will love using this display. Being a cheap device, the 2 Megapixel camera has proven to be a great feature. It is capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels and recording QVGA clips at a speed of 15 fps. The photos are sharp, with a good level of details. The internal memory of the phone is low. It comes with only 15 MB of free space but thanks to the microSD card slot you can upgrade it up to 4 GB. But a messaging phone needs to be capable of keeping you in touch with your friends every time, using any messaging support. For that, the LG Neon cell phone supports many instant messaging features like AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, a wireless Web browser, mobile e-mail and stereo Bluetooth.



For connectivity, the LG Neon cell phone is equipped with Bluetooth and USB plus support for GSM, GPRS and EDGE. Even if it lacks features like Wi-Fi or GPS, you must consider that it is the cheapest QWERTY cell phone so you don’t expect to receive access to many high-end features. The battery of this cell phone manages to keep the device on for up to 4 hours of conversations and up to 250 hours in standby mode.
