The Tracfone LG500g and LG800g are more similar than they are different, well besides the obvious touch screen and QWERTY interface. Features wise, they are just about identical. The main difference really is the screen size, where the LG500g is quite smaller. About the only other notable difference is the Digital Camera resolution which is really not very noticeable. So if you can't make up your mind between the two, keep in mind that the price difference is that the LG800 comes with an additional 60 minutes. So your decision really just boils down to whether you prefer the touchscreen cool factor or the QWERTY convenience.
