LG Vortex Overview
The LG Vortex was released in November 2010 and was a staple addition to Verizon's budget lineup following a relatively successful LG Ally. The Vortex is nearly identical to the Optimus One it's based off of, with a slight variation in color and build. It has the same custom overlay made by LG, and Verizon has also sprinkled their own applications into the mix.
Like the others, it has a 3.2 inch HVGA display, a 3 megapixel camera, a 600MHz processor, and more. Verizon's version comes with a 2GB microSD card preinstalled but can handle up to 32GB. It debuted at $180 but can usually be found much cheaper than that these days.

LG Vortex Reviews
