LG Apex Overview
The LG Apex is US Cellular's own version of the LG Ally first seen on Verizon. Though it was released nearly a year later, the specs remain without update. The Apex carries a 600MHz CPU, 3.2MP camera, and 3.2-inch display. The handset's most notable feature is its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The four-row keyboard hosts several shortcuts and a directional pad for navigation.
Despite a lack of powerful hardware, the LG Apex is appealing to those skirting a major carrier and seeking a budget-level Android phone with an emphasis on messaging.

LG Apex Reviews
CNET "The LG Apex offers a great keyboard and affordable price tag, but its high points do not include speed or battery life."
"What can you expect from a low-end Android device? A lot more than you might think at first. Although you are going to need a bit of patience here and there with the UI, you’ll be pleased to find that LG has not significantly modified the Android experience (though there are some extra apps included that you probably do not want, like the MySpace app). They include an alternate home application (which they call a "theme"), but it is disabled by default, so you get the standard Android launcher unless you specifically pick the LG UI. Bravo!"
