The Mini GD880 takes minimalism to an extreme. Sharp and angles and straight lines predominate and the bright 3.2-inch display takes almost the whole phone. Features include a 5-megapixel camera, e-mail, integration with social networking services, a full Web browser with copy and paste, and LG’s Air Sync.

The GT540 runs Google Android 1.6 on a 3.2-inch touch screen. All the normal Android features are here plus a 3-megapixel camera, e-mail, a full Web browser, a unified e-mail manager, a media player, a motion sensor, and wireless syncing.
