    The Good: Affordable; nice keyboard; real-time e-mail and instant messaging; GPRS support; Web browser; supports over-the-air updates and downloads.

    Review Summary: So, apart from its smaller size, changeable shells, Danger OS version 4.7, and a slight bump from a 1.3MP to 2.0MP camera, we really do not see any reason to get this over the LX apart from having a newer phone. Sure it has the few features that are ...
