LG brought a new entry-level phone to the US, namely the LG CE110, to meet the needs of users who don't care that much about high features.

The new LG CE110 is a dual-band 850 / 1900 MHz GSM phone that brings nothing out of the ordinary. It comes in a clamshell form, measuring 89 x 47 x 20 millimeters (when closed) and weighing only 81 grams. The device packs an internal 65K TFT color display with a 128 x 128 pixel resolution and an external monochrome STN one with 96 x 64 pixels.

Among the good features of the entry-level LG, we have Bluetooth 2.0 and the fact that it supports EDGE connectivity for increased data transmission rates. Furthermore, the phone comes with Instant Messaging capabilities (AOL, Windows Live and Yahoo!), Mobile e-mail (AOL, Windows Live, Yahoo! and AIM), Multimedia messaging, Java 2.0 support (hence a wide variety of games can be downloaded), Media Net for web surfing, Full-Duplex Speakerphone, voice memo recording, TTY/TDD Support for the hearing impaired, Unit Converter, World Clock and so on. The phone also has a built-in VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) that, despite its 4x Digital Zoom, will only be able to offer low quality pictures. With a full charged battery, LG CE110 should be able to provide up to 3 hours of talk-time and up to 10 days of stand-by time.

As I have already said, and as you have already seen when reading the phone's specs, LG CE110 is not created for users who have high expectations from their handsets, but if you want an affordable and small clamshell, it might be the perfect device for you.

The phone is available in the US via AT&T and on the carrier's website it is listed as being free for users who make a 2-year contract. Otherwise, the handset can be bought for a retail price of $189.
