Reviewing the Tiny and Lightweight LG C1300

Sleek and unique, the C1300 from LG offers the perfect combination of
style and innovation. You’ll have a hard time deciding what is most
attractive about the C1300. This 2.9-ounce LG C1300 is a tiny,
well-designed phone ideal for users who just want a phone to be a
phone.
Featuring smooth curves and a slick, mirrored face, the LG C1300 is
all about understated elegance and measuring just 3.2 by 1.7 by 0.8
inches.
The C1300’s colorful, animated menus are easy to use, though they are
not as attractive as those on its sibling, the LG L1200. However, we
liked the floating shortcut bar on the main screen that gives you
quick access to instant messaging, message in-boxes, and voicemail.
The bar disappears after a few seconds of inactivity.
The LG C1300 sports a solid lineup of features for a basic phone,
including a 255-entry address book. Each entry has room for three
phone numbers, an e-mail address, and notes. Contacts can be assigned
to caller groups, and you can store an additional 250 names on the SIM
card. Other features include text and multimedia messaging, a WAP 2.0
wireless browser, speed dialing for 9 contacts, 8 polyphonic and 10
monophonic ring tones, a vibrate mode, a calendar (with month and day
views but no week view), an alarm clock, memos, a calculator, a world
clock, and a metric converter.
The C1300’s customization options are disappointingly slim. Other than
choosing your own wallpaper, message tones, or key sounds, there isn’t
much left to tweak–no screensavers and no color themes. The C1300
also has only a list view for the menu design.
The phone is fairly priced at $189.99.
