LG LX350 with Bluetooth

* Bluetooth
* 65k color external OLED display
* 262k color internal screen

Via EngadgetMobile.

PCMag reviews the LG LX350 and finds it a high-quality, stylish choice that's a lot more powerful than lower-end phones but less expensive than EV-DO phones. About the phone's camera: "The LX350's 1.3-megapixel camera takes very good pictures, with excellent exposure and color balance. The 30MB of shared memory in the phone holds about 100 photos, though some of that space can be taken up by ringtones and other content. The camcorder mode, on the other hand, is utterly useless, taking tiny 128-by-96 videos."
