LG Mini GD880 deals on contract

This is the LG Mini GD880, so named to embody in words “requests from actual consumers who were unhappy with current full touchscreen phones that are too bulky, too clunky and too expensive,” declared by LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company CEO and President Dr. Skott Ann. For sure, there’s nothing mini about it as it is not a lite version of any current LG mobile phone.
Upscale Features
This LG Mini is an example of squeezing into a slim and compact monolithic body the features we’ve taken for granted in an upscale smartphone that often gets too big and unwieldy.
For starters, its 3.2 inch TFT LCD resistive touchscreen with a Wide VGA (480 x 854) resolution and 256 colors gets optimized on a petite body as it almost bleed to the edges with the least possible bezel framing.
There’s only enough space at the top to accommodate a secondary VGA camera for 3G video calls and a bottom space just to provide aesthetic balance. The result is a slim 102 x 47.2 x 10.6 mm body oozing with style on a minimalist design as well as substance underneath it all.
