LG Style GD900
For those who throw convention and practicality to the wind, LG has announced the LG-GD900 (a.k.a Style), with a transparent sliding keypad. To be launched in Q2 of this year, the Style isn’t especially crazy specs-wise:
- HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
- UMTS 900 (1900/850)
- GSM (850/900/1800/1900)
- 105 x 52.5 x 13.4 mm
All in all, a phone that clearly puts style first. No word on pricing just yet, and we´re still looking out for specifics on the operating system, but if it´s anything like the S-Class UI inaugrated by the Arena, it shows some serious promise . A lot of the inspiration for S-Class was pulled on representing functions with real-world objects, like a rolodex for contacts, and a radio dial for FM tuning.
