LG is trying to get off to a big start with their new partner, T-Mobile, by debuting a trio of new mobile phones. Although, all three are quite basic, so its unclear how big of a splash the launch will be.

The set consists of the LG Sentio (pictured above), LG dLite and LG GS170. Available in some vibrant shades, it's the interior that doesn't look as bright considering neither LG nor T-Mobile has published any outstanding details. The Sentio and dLite are slightly higher-end (at least compared to the GS170) by including T-Mobile's signature Social Buzz, a social networking app that provides pop-up notifications from various social networking sites.

Here's a breakdown on the stats of each of the new LG/T-Mobile handsets:

LG Sentio

  • 3-inch full-scroll, touchscreen display
  • Virtual QWERTY keyboard
  • Customizable home screen
  • 3G support
  • GPS
  • 3-megapixel camera with video playback
  • MP3 player
  • Visual Voicemail

LG dLite

  • 2.8-inch interior display
  • LED matrix on phone's exterior (time/date, caller ID, alerts)
  • 3G support
  • E-mail access
  • Visual Voicemail
  • Available in bubblegum pink (pictured) and electric blue

LG GS170

  • High-res color display
  • One-touch speakerphone
  • Clamshell design
  • VGA camera
  • MP3 ringtones
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • Text/picture messaging support
  • E-mail access

None of that sounds like much, so hopefully they'll all be cheap. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but all three of the new LG handsets will be available some time this summer at select T-Mobile retail stores and online.
