Telus adds LG 380, the affordable Chocolate-like clamshell

Telus has added a new affordable device to its offering. It’s the LG 380, the clamshell that in many ways resembles LG’s popular Chocolate handset, though it’s bit uglier.

Made for the people who don’t expect much from their phone, the LG 380 packs a 1.3 MP camera, two screens (internal and external), stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), music player and of course the microSD memory slot. In addition, this device plays well with multiple Telus (NYSE: TU)’ services, including mobile radio, music mobile browser and Windows Live Messenger.

Interested? Prepare to pay anything from CA$29.99 with a 3-year term to CA$249.99 sans any contract. My advice for the low-to-mid range device is that you should always go for the shorter term contract — after all you may want to “go smartphone” after some time. You never know…
