Connectivity

Aimed at the user who is looking for a basic phone, the LG CG225 does not include Bluetooth functionality. With little space for file transfers anyway, the biggest loss to CG225 users is the use of a wireless headset.

An optional accessory data cable can be used for transferring ringtones or backgrounds to the phone but space for them is limited.

With the value-driven consumer in mind with the CG225, its lack of Bluetooth connectivity may not be a major loss for many users, however buyers looking for a phone with the latest in connectivity will want to look elsewhere.

Conclusion

Designed with the value-driven consumer in mind, the CG225 is a basic mid-range phone that offers an attractive design, quad-band connectivity, messaging capability, long battery life and a VGA camera at an affordable price.

While its strengths lie in its essential functionality, the CG225 lacks the multimedia capabilities of many mid-range phones. Undersized displays, a slow GPRS connection, and a lack of memory space limit its use for multimedia. The CG225 falls short on connectivity features.

Regardless, the consumers interested in the CG225 are likely those who place communication in the forefront, caring more about call clarity, battery life, and usability than MP3s, megapixel cameras, and Bluetooth technology. With a far simpler interface and clean design, the CG225's features provide customers with an affordable and stylish phone, to keep in touch with family and friends.
