LG has introduced its latest budget touchscreen phones: the LG Wink Series complete with teen-friendly style. The new range of handsets: the Wink, Wink Style and Wink 3G, and are all suitable for teen customers.
Mainly this means a set of phones with basic features and apparently a budget price tag to bid take on Samsung's Genio range of reasonable handsets.
The LG Wink is the lowest of the group, with a 2.4-inch display and compact "fun style" that slide easily in the pocket. The LG Wink Style puts a larger screen to proceedings, with a variety of color choice and brogue on the front button panel.

Each phone will have a microSD card slot, FM radio and 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as the obligatory links to social networking sites and instant messaging, with threaded conversations too.
