The LG dLite: Style And Performance on a Budget

Though "smart phones" are all the rage these days

, there's something to be said for the trusty, reliable flip-phone. You don't have to worry about ultra-expensive data plans or handsets that cost an arm and a leg. The LGdLite GD570 is one entry-level cell phone model that fits the bill when it comes to hassle-free hardware that won't break the bank. Available for use on the award-winning T-Mobile 3G network, thedLite boasts an impressive set of features for the price. Though not as powerful and capable as the latest Android handsets or the ubiquitous iPhone, it holds its own in terms of value.

As far as hardware is concerned, thedLite is a solid example of engineering and design done right. It's lightweight at just 3.5 ounces without sacrificing quality. It feels solid enough, that's for sure. One thing you'll notice right away is its unconventional dimensions. Measuring 4.3 x 2.0 x 0.6 inches, it's both longer and more slender than most are used to. It sports a 2.0 MP camera as well as a hidden LED matrix on the front cover that displays the time, date, alerts and more. The keypad can only be described as "iPod-esque", which makes for an attractive and intuitive interface.

In terms of everyday use, thedLite has all the basic features you'd expect of any phone nowadays. It comes equipped with a music and video player for any video and audio clips you download off of T-Mobile's 3GHSPA+ network. In addition, it features the T-Mobileweb2go web-browsing interface, which makes surfing the Internet a breeze provided you're within the 3G-coverage area. You can still check your e-mail and download smaller files over the network if you happen to be accessing it in a lower-bandwidth area. ThemicroSDexpansion card slot supports up to 16 GB worth of storage, which should be plenty for most users.

With T-Mobile's 3GHSPA+ network, this GSM/UMTS handset delivers acceptable Internet connection speeds that should satisfy basic e-mail and text-messaging needs for most users. It should be noted that this model doesn't sport the heavy-duty, high clock rate ARM processors and expansive RAM and storage of the popular Android or iPhone systems. If you plan on relying on thedLite for a full-fledged web experience, you'll most likely come away disappointed. In spite of this, T-Mobile's well-deserved reputation as the overall leader in customer service, satisfaction and support in the US cellular market should be enough to convince you to sign up.

Considering that thedLite comes free with a T-Mobile contract and is eligible for future upgrades depending on your specific plan,it's an appealing alternative to more expensive models. The main thing that strikes you when you take a closer, in-depth look at the LGdLite is it's style and flair, as well asit's impressive battery life and call clarity. You might forget that it does its job so well if it weren't so eye-catching to boot. It's the perfect solution for those in need of a relic.
