LG has finally started their relationship with T-Mobile. They are launching three new phones to start off their relationship. But don’t get excited yet, the three phones are dumphones and there in no Android or any other smartphone operating system to be seen. The first addition to T-Mobile’s line is the LG Sentio. It isn’t actually a new phone, it is just a rebranded version of the LG Cookie GS500 Plus. It features a 3 inch WQVGA touchscreen, a 3 megapixel camera, and 3G connectivity. The only difference between the LG cookie GS500 Plus and the LG Sentio is that the Sentio has a built in GPS receiver. It also supports visual voicemail and you can add a microSD card to expand your storage. The second of the three handsets is the LG dLite or LG GD580 Lollipop, it is a clamshell phone that doesn’t have too many features, but is still much better than the last handset that we will be looking at. The LG dLite has a 2.8 inch WQVGA non-touch screen display, a 3 megapixel camera, and 3G connectivity. As with the LG Sentio, it also supports microSD cards for memory expansion. It is available in two color choices (electric blue and bubblegum) and it has some concealed LEDs on the front panel. The last of the three handsets is the most low-end of them all. The LG GS170 is another clamshell, but this one has hardly any features. All it has is a VGA camera, email support, and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity. I wouldn’t count on the email support being too good, though. One of the main features that are described are the “large keys”. All three handsets will be available this summer, but there is no information on pricing. I am guessing that they will not be too expensive since they don’t exactly pack all the features you could ever want. Aside from the lack of any smartphones, LG partnering with T-Mobile is a very good thing.
