LG Vortex ? TNW First Look [TNW Mobile]

When you?re talking about Android phones, it?s usually a story of keyboards and massive screens. LG is taking a different approach toward Android by offering the Vortex. LG?s Vortex is a small, Android-based device running 2.2 on a 600 mhz processor. Featuring a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 320×480 capacitive touchscreen, it?s not the highest-end Android device you?ve ever seen, but it?s not meant to be.

Pictures on the Vortex come out acceptable, if not great. Low-light pictures, however, are nearly impossible. The touchscreen is a bit frustrating, as it feels like a harder push is required for it to respond than what we?ve seen. However, it?s bright, crisp and very readable.

Our initial feeling is that the Vortex is a great phone, given its $80 price point. The sole complaint that we have is that it?s been de-Googled because of the Verizon/Bing agreement. That means you?ll be using Bing as the default search for both typing and voice.

We?ll dig in and see what we think after a few days with the Vortex, but from what we can see so far, it?s probably a great choice for someone on your list who want a solid smartphone and isn?t an Android aficionado.
