Cricket and LG announced the LG Helix Wednesday, making it LG's first AWS-capable handset. It's a pretty basic phone with a 2-inch color display plus a small external display. It has a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and voice commands.

The Helix will be available in silver or pink at a suggested retail price of around $139.99 without a contract.
