In the beginning you could have any phone, as long as it was black. Now there is a phone for every demographic, and the LG Banter is designed for the young at heart who enjoy texting.

As such, it is essentially an entry-level device, but what it lacks in whiz-bang features it makes up for in sensible shoes. Take the 1,000 name capacity phone book, the 2.1 stereo Bluetooth, alarm, calendar, voice-dialing command feature, GPS and more.

It starts out looking like a candy-bar phone but turns into a slider, with a full QWERTY keypad that offers a thoughtful layout of keys but lacks the contour and sculptured keys offered on some other phones.

The 2 inch, single display offers 240 x 320 pixel resolution, which is okay for what it does, but falls short of other displays in its tier group. There is expandable microSD memory, 2.1 Bluetooth, a 2.5mm jack input and a WAP 2.0 internet connection.

This is a decent phone, but feels like stuff left over from 2006 was thrown together to add another price-point offering.

If you want a simple phone, this writer believes other options offer more passion. As is, the LG Banter is okay, but lacks the luster that this solid company has built a reputation on.

I Love my Banter

I Love the LG Banter, I've had mine for about a year now, What made me want to get it is because you can change the color of the "case" on it, it comes with blue, shiny gray, and a purple one with a leaf pattern on the back. I never had any trouble with my phone at all. And they are very... More

The LG Banter was my first phone, and it was alright. the keyboard and texting options are simple and easy to use and figure out. Which was great. I must say that the camera is a very low resolution and disappointing, and options and settings were also. The different faceplate are very colorful and a... More

I have had this cellphone for a year and a half now, and I regret buying this phone. At first, it was great, good batterie life, the keyboard was smooth and the menu seemed easy to use. Now it lasts only a day or so (even if I don't use it a lot I've tried), the phone often freeze and closes... More
