    CNET Review

    May 18, 2009

    The Good: The LG 160 offers an easy-to-use design with an improved internal display. Bluetooth and voice dialing are onboard, and the Credo service will appeal to left-of-center political minds.

    The Bad: The LG 160's plastic casing has a cheap feel and its speakerphone quality is average.

    The Bottom Line: Credo Mobile's LG 160 is a workable basic phone with a unique specialty carrier. If you need a phone for making calls, and want to support progressive and green causes at the same time, this phone is worth a look.

    Review Summary: Needless to say, there are far better phones out there than the LG LX-160. If you just need a device to talk into, this works great. But if you want anything more from your phone - look elsewhere.
