Bluetooth in a cell phone has traditionally been reserved for shoppers who could spring for high-end handsets, but now Sprint has brought it to the mainstream with its compact, slightly funky LG PM-325 camera phone. Of course, we wish Sprint hadn't hobbled the data-transfer capabilities of Bluetooth, but with a slick sliding keyboard, an impressive screen, and great call quality, the PM-325 is an attractive, affordable option for users that want a taste, albeit a limited one, of what Bluetooth has to offer.
Overall, the LG PM-325 scores points with an attractive design that takes time to discover fully. It weighs a slight 3.3 ounces and measures a compact 3.9 by 1.8 by 0.9 inches. At first glance, it appears to have only a tiny, recessed screen that shows the time, incoming calls, signal strength, and battery life, but a quick flip of the thumb slides the keypad down to reveal a large (1.75 inches diagonally) display that can show a vibrant 65,000 colors. The screen is difficult to see in direct light, but you can adjust the backlighting time and the font size.
