Alongside the equally low-end dLite and GS170, LG and T-Mobile have teamed up to launch this dirt-simple slate called the Sentio. It packs a 3″ touchscreen, GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, 3G, and not much else. In terms of style, it reminds me an awful lot of the HTC Magic in its simplicity, and it can probably emulate a lot of the native functions with the preloaded software. There’s a social media client on there to handle Facebook and Twitter, and a system for home screen widgets.
Aside from the InTouch Max and LG Pop in the UK , this looks like the first LG phone within recent memory on T-Mobile. Who knows, maybe this innocuous little Sentio will pave the way for those higher end handsets to find a home on T-Mobile US.
If you’re interested, the LG Sentio goes for $69.99 on a two-year contract, or you can go with month-by-month financing with Even More Pluys plans at $9/month. Head over to the online store to pick one up.
