LG GW300 – cheap QWERTY phone for Facebook and e-mail

In addition to teasing us with their high end Black Label Series 4 new Chocolate phone, LG today has pre-announced another, low end, messaging handset – LG GW300.

Fortunately, this time LG does  not bother with teasers, and gives us most of the relevant details of the new handset straight.

LG GW300 is a low end messaging featurephone with built in Facebook and e-mail clients, plus a full QWERTY keypad. It comes equipped 2.4” 240×320 QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth, USB 2.0, weights 95 gr and supports only on 2.5G GSM, GPRS/EDGE networks.

The only specs that I’m missing are for camera. It certainly has one, but I cannot tell what it is from the available pics. Looking at the other specs, I’d say it’s 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus. But it’s just my guestimate.

No pricing or availability info just yet, but it’s obvious that LG GW300 will be on the really cheap side of things.

    I had one of these phones, i bought it on saturday and took it back after 4 days.
    It froze slightly when sending a text, got abit confused.
    The menu would go, so you would just get a red box around the different sections(did this 3 times for me)
    Couldnt edit silent mode
    Besides that it was a good phone, but i took mine back, told them of the problems and was told it was a software problem, need to do a hard reset, which i had done before and i still got the problems.
    So i switched it for the LG GW520, which is so far a better phone, different to use but im sure when i get used to it, 10000 times better.
    For the price it isnt bad, and texting/emailing or going on the internet on it was fine, the software on it is just crap!
