Sprint has made available an entry level LG LX160 clamshell, obviously targeting first time mobile phone buyers. Although for some reason it lacks camera, the LG LX160 packs all the basic phone features plus Bluetooth and handsfree calling support. Plus, you can hook up it with your computer, with the phone acting as a modem — the lack of 3G makes me wonder why would anyone do this.
Anyway, the LG LX160 is the perfect beginner’s phone and could be yours from nothing on a 2-year plan to $170 sans any contract. The latter makes sense for frequent travellers to the States, which don’t have a CDMA handset — or for those hard-core debt-free type of people.
