subject: LG GS200 Launches Out of Developing Countries [print this page] The LG GS200 is a solidly built phone that was originally launched in Russia. It has become quite popular there, especially with people who do not have large sums of money and the younger generation. This is because the phone provides a lot of functionality at a lower price and still allows you to use it day to day. It is not too expensive, coming in at around $130 USD for the price on the open market, without subsidies. Many carriers, especially when it comes to the United Kingdom may give it away for next to nothing, because they make the costs back in tariffs. While the GS200 is first and foremost a mobile phone, did you know that it has a wide range of features available with it? First of all, you can use it as a mobile phone. It is a candy bar designed phone, which means that it looks like a candy bar. This is great for people who dislike flip phones and are generally a little bit more rough with their mobile phones. The candy bar design does take this abuse, at least to a point and will protect the amount of money that you have sunk into the device. The LG phone has a habit of being built to last. However, did you know that this mobile phone can do more than just be useful as a mobile phone? It actually can be a great way to sit back and listen to music. That is right, you can listen to music, including MP3 files and even FM radio right from this mobile phone. Not many other LG phones even offer this, let alone a budget model originally launched in Russia. However, you are able to listen to any FM station within range and even record some of it if you wish. This is great for when you know that you love a song but know that you won' remember it when you get home. That way you can record it right then and there to listen to later on.
