14 DAY TRIAL // AT&T has recently added to its offering the LG CF360, a new affordable mobile phone targeted at those who would rather spend less on a wireless capable device. According to the company, the handset would be a “sleek entertainment phone,” and we're talking here about a slider that includes mainly basic low-end features.
The price of LG CF360 also reflects its capabilities. The mobile phone operator offers it for only $29.99 with a 2-year contract and after a mail-in rebate. Those who would like to acquire the handset free of an AT&T agreement will have to pay $229.99 for it.

In addition, it sports a 2-inch TFT QVGA display that offers a 240 x 320 resolution and 65K, along with a 1.3-megapixel snapper.
The specification list of this entry-level mobile phone also shows Bluetooth 2.0 and USB connectivity, as well as a microSD card slot that supports memory cards of up to 16GB in capacity.
