Top 10 LG cell phonesBy Sindre Lia, 10 April 2008
LG's cell phone portfolio for the American market keeps getting stronger every month. Stop by and check it out yourself.

Despite having cranked out loads of cell phones for years, the last year must have been very rewarding for the brains behind the latest and greatest models from LG. In addition to scoring high on our popularity ranks with phones like the Voyager and Venus for Verizon Wireless' network, the manufacturer has recently paved its way into the fashion market by releasing the Prada and Iron Man phones. The LG Viewty and the KS20 have also made headlines, despite being European phones.

Touch screens seems to be the magical trick for LG, and while Verizon Wireless' got its fair share last fall, AT&T and Alltel have scored its own exclusives this spring with the Vu and the Glimmer, respectively. All this obviously leads to higher expectations for the rest of the year, and we can only wonder when Sprint and T-Mobile will wake up and get some LG magic on their own. Anyway, here are our current top 10 LG phones:



LG Vu    Similar models »
