We have yet another modest slider handset from LG, this one finding its way to Russia: the GB130. A 2″ 160 x 120 display isn’t what you’d call mind-blowing, but the dimensions (103.7 x 47 x 15.6 mm) make it highly pocketable, although the main selling point seems to be FM tuning, if you’re into that kind of thing. If you’re in The Motherland, this simple lil number will cost you $90 bucks or 2,990 rubles.
