The Nokia 1202 costs 25 Euros and here you have it with the best feature ever – the flashlight. A flashlight is one of the most useful tools in developing countries as based on feedback, it is cheaper to charge your phone and use the light at night than to keep a light bulb going. Seriously!

The Nokia 1202 is innovative because the phone can be shared by up to 5 people — it has 5 seperate phonebooks for Mom, Dad, Grandma, the two kids and grandma! The extended phone book feature also necessitate better battery life which Nokia has granted alongside really loud ringtones.

Stay tuned for this in 2009!

LG has released one of, if not the cheapest “3G for All” phone. This is supposedly the mass market booster for 3G phones in the worldwide market. The phone retails for about $100.00.

The phone comes with two cameras, a 1.3MP camera behind and a 640 x 480 camera in front for video calls. The phone’s real estate is one of its main attractions, apart from the 3G features. It is tight, robust and boasts huge buttons.

Other features include the following:

• MP3 and video recording
• Full Internet Browsing via WCDMA (384kbps)
• MMS / Email
• WAP 2.0 / JAVA 2.0
• microSD expansion
• Bluetooth and USB connectivity

For what it is, the KU250 is a handy phone for a cheap 3G solution. It offers nothing really spectacular with regards to its feature set, but the $100 price cannot be ignored. It is a bit of a turn off though that the device includes memory expansion — but has no bundled card in its default package.

I would like to say that this phone may make for a cheaper 3G modem alternative which you can pair easily with your computer for wireless surfing.
