Opening the LX5450 reveals the high-resolution, two-inch internal LCD that resembles the one found on the LG VX6000. The icon-driven menus are easy to handle, and we like that you can scroll sideways between the primary options without returning to the main menu screen.
You also can move through the menus using the volume rocker key on the phone's left side, while a separate unmarked button activates the voice-dialing feature, switches between ring modes, and acts as a camera shutter. The camera lens and the mirror are on the top rear of the phone, just next to the extendable antenna.
Both the navigation keys and the dial buttons are generously sized and well spaced, so people with larger fingers should have no problems dialing. A four-way key gives one-touch access to the wireless Web browser, messages, Alltel's Axcess Apps service, and one user-defined shortcut, while two soft keys open the menu and the phone book.
We especially appreciate the OK/camera button in the middle of the four-way key. The blue-backlit controls are easy to see in the dark, but because they're set flush against the phone's face, dialing by feel takes some acclimation.
