The LG Vortex offers a ton of features and apps, making it feel like a high-end smart phone with a budget price. Find information about these features as well as accessories available at www.discountcell.com.

The LG Vortex is designed as an entry-level smart phone from Verizon Wireless. For individuals looking for a basic smart phone, the Vortex has exactly what you need. The Vortex does have all of the standard smart phone features, including Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, Mobile Hotspot for up to 5 devices, 3G, GPS, multimedia player, internet browsing, email capabilities, document viewer, 3.5mm headset jack, and microUSB charging port. The Vortex does have plenty of pre-loaded apps, including Bing Search, ThinkFree Office, VZ Navigation, and it's own version of the Facebook and Twitter apps. The Vortex is more integrated with Facebook than most other phones, as users can check on their friends status updates just be looking up the contact list.

The LG Vortex is on the smaller side, at 4.47 by 2.32 by .52 inches and weighing .52 ounces. It is covered in a soft-touch plastic coating, so it feels good in the hand and is easy to grip and because it is so small, is also comfortable in your pocket. The front of the phone is taken up by a 3.2 inch LCD display with 320x480 pixel resolution. Running the Vortex is a 600MHz processor and Android 2.2 operating system. This processor is fast enough to handle any app and has little to no lag when opening different applications or programs or even loading web pages or playing games. There is 150MB of internal memory, and the Vortex ships with a 2GB memory card. The external card slot can handle up to a 32GB card, so there's plenty of room for pictures and videos taken with the 3.2 megapixel camera or music for the standard Android music player.

Find a great protective shield to keep the Vortex safe from scratches and drops. Protective shields come in a huge variety of materials and colors, so every individual can find one that fits their personality. The shields are designed specifically for the Vortex, so all ports and buttons are open and accessible at all times. They also fit exactly to the Vortex's body, so they do not add any bulk. Another option is a clear plastic coating, similar to a screen protector. This option is great for individuals who want added protection but don't want to cover the body of the phone. These are easy to apply and do not leave any residue when taken off. Between all of the great products available, every user is sure to find something that fits their needs.

We also recommend using a Bluetooth headset or car kit while in the car. Many states have made it illegal for users to use their phones in the car without an accessory like this, so get the best product for your money. There are also many different options for these products. A portable speakerphone allows the user to move the move the product between their car, their home and their office. Speakerphones have a great range of prices and features, so users don't need to pay for an expensive product when they just need basic features. This also goes for the car kits available. There are some very basic car kits available as well as some that have more advanced features so users can find exactly what they need for their lifestyle.
