And it also packs in a five megapixel camera, oodles of storage space and some stunning exclusive services.

Social networking on the go is simplicity itself with the LG Optimus 7. That's because all your contacts, messages and profiles are neatly organised in a single location or hub. This means that you can update your page or see what everyone is up to and check your mails in seconds.
