Review: LG F9200
"You don't need to tote a notebook or a PDA if you want to stay connected to e-mail and instant messaging. A cell phone with a built-in QWERTY keyboard and e-mail and IM clients will do the trick.
One good example is the new LG F9200. This easy-to-use and affordable model is the latest in a growing number of keyboard-enabled handsets on the market.
The F9200 costs $150 with a two-year Cingular Wireless service contract, making it less expensive than other recently released keyboard-enabled phones such as Samsung's $200 D307 (which I reviewed in November 2005).
I find the F9200 much easier to use than Samsung's phone, too. I particularly like its simple design and user-friendly keyboard. At 4.7 ounces, it's light and easy to carry, although it's chunkier than I'd prefer. It comes in an eggshell white finish with silver numeric keys. The 128-by-160-pixel screen is bright enough in most settings, but its slight graininess was bothersome. The hidden keyboard slides out in a horizontal orientation; when you slide out the keyboard, the display automatically changes to landscape mode. The F9200 also has a built-in 640-by-480 VGA camera...."
