The key selling point of the LG-SH240 is the silicon texture on the keypad which is said to mimic the feel of real human skin. Other than that this 2 megapixel, video calling enabled, device is rather plain and ordinary by Korean standards, but hey, if you’re lonely Saturday night … I’m not going to go there.

One more picture after the jump.

    I have that phone. The keypad is made of silicone. It actually feels more comfortable than poking your fingers on a cold metal or hard plastic keypad, especially if you text a lot.
    It’s not bad (although it’s not “fancy” either); I ended up having to buy an SD micro card for it though; the built-in memory isn’t near enough to hold all of my songs and pictures.
    I have to admit though, the video calling capability is nice; I haven’t had a cell phone that did that before.
