The Sprint LX 160 by LG is a basic clamshell design, digital dual band phone. It's light and easy to hold. For basic phone however it is very complete. It has Bluetooth and wireless Internet capability. It also has a jack for a wired headset. It has a primary and secondary screen. Although the screens are small, they're easy to read.

The interface on the phone was simple and straightforward to use. The buttons have a good feel to them. One nice feature of the phone is the dedicated TEXT button which makes it easy to send text messages directly without having to navigate any menus. I wish some higher end phones had that. Unfortunately, the LX 160 doesn't have a camera.

The phone works with some of the Sprint Vision services. And while not unique to the LX 160, I tried out Sprint’s Voice SMS with the LX 160. Using Sprint’s Voice SMS, I was able to send an SMS message with a voice attachment to another phone not on the Sprint network (AT&T) as a test. When I received the SMS on the other phone, the text message contained a phone number to dial. When I dialed that phone number, I heard the voice message and I was even able to reply. This Voice SMS is handy when you want to send a voice mail to someone but not call and risk disrupting them because they might pick up the phone. More carriers should offer this as a service.

I'm going to give this phone a relatively high score for completeness and value as an entry-level phone. In my opinion perhaps it could be a little thinner. The phone comes with a charger.
