LG VX3200 Phone (Verizon Wireless) Style, simplicity, and just the right touch of technology. That’s what makes the VX3200 from LG a fabulous choice for entry level phone users. It’s the perfect companion to the Verizon Wireless service.

Design
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a 128 x 128 TFT color display with 65,000 colors. Most of the phone’s features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset’s blue backlit control pad.

Take a closer look at the VX3200’s functions.

The top right side of the unit houses an antenna, and the USB-capable data and charging port is housed on the unit’s bottom edge. There’s a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets on the left side of the handset.

Motorola V60p Push to Talk Phone (Verizon Wireless) This basic phone from Motorola sports one very cool feature not often found on much flashier handsets: push-to-talk. With a push-to-talk subscription from Verizon Wireless, you can communicate walkie-talkie style with a co-worker or entire teams anywhere in the country. The V60p more than pulls its weight as a cell phone, text messenger, and wireless web client, as well.
