The LG Imprint's sturdy, attractive, and compact design, and roomy QWERTY keyboard make it a great introductory phone for texters.

We'll admit it. The LG Imprint is a looker. It's glossy, compact design features rounded-out corners and a tight construction that feels solid and substantial in the hand.
We're not thrilled about the 2.5mm headphone jack (we always prefer the 3.5mm standard jack,) though the Imprint earns points for a Micro-USB port and a microSD card slot that supports up to 16GB external memory.
The Imprint's pictures are predictably mediocre for a 1.3-megapixel shooter. At least the phone has some onboard editing tools to adjust and adorn the shots.
