Not everyone needs a smartphone or even a high-end handset. LG and U.S. Cellular hope so at least, as they have partnered up to introduce the LG Envoy, an entry-level clamshell that’s pretty bare bones when it comes to features. You won’t find a music player on here, and 3G seekers will be out of luck. Yet, the Envoy does satisfy the basic requirements for a decent consumer handheld–it’s slim, compact, and it makes calls. LG also threw Bluetooth and a VGA camera in there to sweeten the deal. As you might expect, one of the Envoy’s biggest attractions is its price, and it doesn’t disappoint at only $9.99 after the usual discounts and agreements.
Design
The LG Envoy has a very simple clamshell design, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. At 3.75 inches long by 1.94 inches wide by 0.7 inch thick, the Envoy is decidedly compact and pocket-friendly. It has straight sides, rounded corners, and subtle curves along the edges that result in a comfortable feel in the hand. The Envoy is clad in a glossy piano black plastic that makes it feel rather cheap.

Sitting on the front of the phone is a camera lens at the top plus a 0.98-inch external display underneath it. The display is a grayscale CSTN with 96×64-pixel resolution and is not meant for much more than showing basic information. It displays the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and incoming caller ID. A 2.5mm headset jack, volume rocker, and Micro-USB port sit on the left spine, while a camera button sits on the right.
The phone flips open easily yet firmly thanks to the Envoy’s sturdy hinge. When you do so, you’ll reveal the phone’s 2.2-inch 260,000-color TFT display with a 220×176-pixel resolution. While the screen didn’t exactly dazzle us, we found it perfectly serviceable for a basic phone like this. The screen is bright and colorful, and text is legible enough. Graphics were a bit more pixelated than we would like, but that’s a minor complaint. You can adjust the wallpaper, the banner text, the backlight timer, the menu style, language, the appearance of the clock and calendar, the font type, and the style and size of the dial fonts. You can also have the phone match the number to the name in your phonebook as you’re dialing.
Features
The LG Envoy has a simple 1,000-entry phone book, with room in each entry for seven numbers, two e-mail addresses, a URL, and a memo. You can also add a photo for caller ID and any of 28 sounds to be used as either a custom ringtone or message tone. If you prefer, you can set your own MP3s as a ringtone. You can organize your contacts into caller groups as well.
