LG products usually do all right by me. They’re not always jam-packed with features, but they do a passable job of supplying a decent phone. The LG UX840 Triton is a textbook example of LG at its most frequently seen.

The LG UX840 Triton phone is a slider style phone with three hundred meg of onboard memory, GPS, a battery capable of two hundred and ten minutes of talk time, web browsing, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a three megapixel camera, speakerphone, calendar, world clock, alarm, stopwatch, calculator, currency converter, notepad and downloadable games.

First, I love the versatility of this phone, seeing as it has both a trackpeg and a full QWERTY keyboard. Call it irrational preference if you must, but I personally dislike phones that are heavy on the touchpad. I like something with controls on the phone itself.

But the LG UX840 Triton definitely managed to bring plenty of versatility to its controls, even if it was a little lacking in the special features department. There’s plenty to like here and you shouldn’t be disappointed, but features buffs should definitely look elsewhere.
