Verizon Wireless is now selling LG’s VX5500, an entry-level flip handset. You’ll be able to get the phone fir $49.99 with a 2-year contract, $119.99 with a 1-year contract or $219.99 to buy the phone outright. It’s not going to feature any high-speed data or flip open to reveal a hidden QWERTY thumbboard, but if you’re just looking for a basic model or backup to complement your new smartphone, the VX5500 might be right for you.
Just as a refresher, this one’s bringing Bluetooth, a VGA camera, speakerphone, VZ Navigator support, voice activated dialing and Mobile Web 2.0. Sadly, you won’t get any EV-DO.
