Looking for a low cost phone with a slideout keyboard? LG might have you covered.

LG GW520 review
It's more stylish Cookie than clever Arena, but the GW520 feels underpowered where it counts
Excellent QWERTY keyboard ; Livesquare
Sluggish touchscreen ; No Wi-Fi ; Poor browser ; Poor quality headphones

LG GW525 review
Over the past couple of months we have seen a bunch of phones with full qwerty keypads aimed at regular users. These include the Samsung Corby TXT and the CorbyPRO and now the LG GW525. If you engage in heavy messaging throughout the day, then this is...
The LG GW525 appears expensive when compared with similarly priced phones. It has that excellent keyboard and touchscreen, and enjoys decent media playback, but we don't like the sluggish interface, the camera is awful and there are too many high-end...

LG GW520 review -
Push-email was a breeze to set up and enabled us to keep tabs on all our email accounts
The touch-screen is not the most intuitive that LG has produced

LG GW520 Review
Overall the LG GW520 is a nice feature phone. I'm not sure how many people would get this on a contract but as a PAYG phone its a real bargain if you ask me. The keyboard is not as good as on the high end smartphones but its still good.

Review: LG GW520 – Touch & QWERTY mobile
Comfortable to hold, not bulky, grip feels great, reasonable weight, Well designed, nicely laid out full sliding QWERTY keyboard, microSD slot accessible from the outside rather than inside like some LG phones in the past, Reasonable price range
Some may find the look / colours less attractive, Small screen for comfortable multimedia purposes, Lack of WiFi, Limited onboard factory applications preloaded (though Java apps are relatively easy to find), Has Google applications but no Google maps,...

LG GW520 review
We review the LG GW520, that could be described as a Cookie with a keyboard
Slim(ish), sleek design ; Slide-out QWERTY keyboard ; Livesquare ; 3 megapixel camera ; Quad band GSM ; HSDPA 3G ; FM radio with RDS
No Wi-Fi ; Not very responsive touch screen ; No flash or autofocus
Decent messaging options with a fine QWERTY keyboard HSDPA 3G but no Wi-Fi

LG GW520 review
The biggest mobile players insist that social networking on-the-go is where it's at these days. To be fair, with iPhone apps and INQ phones, it's difficult to argue. The LG GW520 is the Korean mobile maven's latest stab at such a device, aimed largely...
QWERTY keypad, social networking capabilities
Poor touchscreen, sometimes confusing UI
A decent fist time social networking phone, but one to be avoided by touchscreen lovers
