LG to bring Touch-Screen Phones to the Masses
The average UK mobile phone user may feel that a touch-screen mobile is simply out of their reach, thanks to their often hefty price tags, or expensive monthly contracts.
However, LG look set to change this with the launch of the LG KP500 Cookie. Although prices have not yet been revealed they are believed to be more affordable than prices of similar handsets on the market.
The KP500 will have a 3” touch sensitive screen, a stylus which is stored in the phones base and an accelerometer for motion sensor gaming.
The handset is a glossy black slim unit with titanium trim for a quality feel. It has a virtual QWERTY keyboard, which you use through the touch screen which auto rotates to landscape or portrait as the phone is tilted.
This is a smart little phone, which should have wide appeal if LG get their pricing right.
