LG CG225

So I work at cingular and I am holding a demo (working version) of this phone and let me tell you: yes the c1300, l1400, c1500 and c2000 are pieces of ****. however, the cg300 is actually pretty below average but it is okay. the samsung d407 still works way better for push to talk. Also noted this new LG CG225 feels actually pretty nice. It has a good feeling and the speaker phone is amazing. the only problem is that who knows how well it will do with reception as LG is noted as having really extermely weak reception. Everyone in my store has actually stopped selling LG all together. Hopefully this phone will give us some confidence back in LG before they drop the CU500 on us. And on a side note, the CU320 is a really good phone but sadly is not sold in my area.
As far as a 20-30 dollar phone goes, this one seems to be a lot better than anything LG has sent us in the past.
