LG has unveiled its two new low-end phones targeted at emerging markets and first time mobile phone users. Both GB106 (pictured left) and GB110 (pictured right) have basic features like FM radio, built-in antenna, 1.5" color display, 950 mAh Li-Ion battery (4 hours of talk and 400 hours of standby time), and only 1MB of user memory. Aditionally, the GB110 also sports a VGA camera and a microSD slot supporting up to 2GB of additional storage.

Today Verizon has released the new LG VX8360, which will replace the older VX8350 model. The only difference between the two appears to be in a slightly changed exterior.

Pricing:

$49.99 - 2 year contract (after $50 rebate);
