The LG GW525 is promoted as a social-networking device, and has a touchscreen, plus slide-out Qwerty keyboard. However, it’s not technically a smartphone, as new applications cannot be uploaded onto the device. The result is a cheaper phone that can still do a lot.

Long text messages, emails and URL addresses are all a breeze to type on this sweet little phone.
