Telus adds LG 380Telus 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’ 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…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
