LG Wave AX380 (Alltel) is a dual-band CDMA clamshell with EVDO support. This is a 2007 model mobile phone. It comes with a small but functional 1.25-inch diagonal external screen right on the front. CNET reviews the LG Wave XS380 and writes about music featues, “When the music player is activated, a row of touch-sensitive music player controls will appear underneath the display. These glowing red keys consist of the rewind/track-back key, the play/pause key, and the fast forward/track forward key. You can configure the sensitivity of these keys plus add sound effects to them so you know when you’ve pressed the right key. We haven’t been huge fans of touch-sensitive keys, and it’s no different here. We really miss the feeling of tactile keys, and it’s kind of a pain to unlock the keys every time you want to change a track. The least they could’ve done is to have a vibrating or haptic feedback for the keys, but even that isn’t present.”

The camera is a 1.3 mega-pixel and it is able to take pictures of 5 resolutions along with 3 quality settings. It also offers microSD card slot for extra storage. It also includes camcorder with two recording options, mainly 15 seconds for multimedia messaging and 1 hour for regular mode. Likewise other phones available in the market, LG Wave does not offer any extra range of qualities in video. It is rather pixilated and blurry in nature.
