LG AX-275

The LG AX-275 is a basic CDMA clamshell phone. The LG AX-275 does come with a few features, most notably a VGA camera phone, speakerphone, external display and BREW software.

For those looking for a basic or entry level phone, the LG AX-275 delivers reliability and a stylish interface. The compact clamshell design has an internal antenna and an external display screen. The external display screen gives you important information such as caller ID, clock, signal strength and battery level. The external display screen is monochrome, but I found it easy to read in bright sunlight.

The main feature of the phone is that it includes a VGA camera. While basic, this camera does take decent pictures and includes a few features such as a self timer, night mode and white balance. The inside of the phone is laid out very nice. The keypad is large enough for anyone with fat fingers and the display screen is colorful and bright. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use, requiring only a few minutes to get acquainted with.

The LG AX-275 does include a speakerphone and while it does sound very good at moderate levels, at higher volumes, the speakerphone is very tinny. With this phone there are a few games loaded that all were fun to play. This phone also includes BREW.

Most people will probably receive the LG AX-275 free when they sign up for a new contract and while it is an entry level phone, it does look stylish and it does work very well for most casual users.
