    3 HOURS OF TALK TIME????

    It’s like some phone manufacturers just don’t care anymore….

  • Alex

    Um…a feature phone? That is so 2008.

    • Gauntlet Down

      If a feature phone requires a data plan, is it really a feature phone?

  • Ummm

    Why even bother bringing this POS to market? Is there really a huge audience looking forward to this phone?

    • skyy_flyer

      Just a thought but well not a whole lot of parents who have their 13 year old on their plan want that kid to have a phone that needs a data plan that the parent pays for. Just like with any other feature phone post BGR posts, the phone isn’t for majority of the people who read this site, but it may be for the people who read this site’s kids.

      So you went with a network with only 1/3rd of AT&T’s coverage simply for an EVO that will be outdated in a few months??

  • PAPINYC

    This belongs at Verizon with the Samsung Haven and Samsung Gusto; for the over 60 sect’. I guess it’s part of growing old gracefully?

      EVERY carrier does the same thing. Get over yourself.

    Why are they releasing this again?

    Such a desperate attempt by ATT to try and push forward their own branded APPS -

    Why is ATT even trying – don’t they know people don’t like their money scamming apps

  • cellphoneguy

    feature phone is a Vzw term. that means u need a $10 web plan. this one requires a messaging plan which most families use currently.

    Put Android OS 6.9 and put it on Verizon…then i miiiiiiight consider it

  • Mr. Bill

    A feature phone with icons, looks like competition to the iphone honestly.

  • koe

    if u have a 14yr old kid..this phone might come in handy like the LG touch screens from vzw..im waiting for them 2 go 4G..them im jum ping ship from crappy iphones n att..they r more or less $5-$10 more..thats it

  • Chellykay88

    This looks strikingly similar to the LG Prime an Att go-phone, and I think we all know that prepaid phones are very well made…lol

  • cellphoneguy

    and android and iphone are better than blackberry and thats the bottom line because sales dont lie….. I have the “best” blackberry ever and my iphone 3gs and aria are both much better devices……. RIM is definately stuck in 2006. and I bet this LG has a better browser and doesnt freeze all the time
