Mobile Phones Review

The spice S490 is considered to be the “student’s phone buddy” as it was designed with the students in mind. Critiques say that it can actually help students. It has an easy access feature to the online portal that gives you preparation for the CAT and ITT, not to mention the numerous professional examinations that students prepare for. It also has the friend finder function that enables increased social interaction.  

It also contains the basic entertainment features of a mobile phone, such as 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, and FM radio. In addition, it allows you send email through your SMS, which is handy enough for any student. On the other hand, non-students may use this as well, especially if you are enticed with its reasonable price.

LG GB 106

The recently introduced LG GB 106 is an extremely user-friendly mobile phone that offers very basic features for those who opt for only the most fundamental functions in a cellular phone. In fact, it targets the middle class market because of its low price and features. However, unlike the old phones that serve the same purpose more than a decade ago, this model has a simple passive CSTN color screen, which has a 1.5 inch length when diagonally measured. Also, it has an FM radio, but it contains no other frills, like the camera or MP3 player. This justifies its reasonable price.

Its camera is VGA, which is good enough for people who are not looking for extreme entertainment with their phone.
