The LG KF600 is a Chinese only mobile phone that has the lower portion of its screen touch enabled. Why would one not make the entire device touch based? Cost. This is a short term solution to an industry trend where the future is touch on all devices, both high and low end. Both screens show only 262k colors, the camera is an impressive 3 megapixels, but either than that … we’re not jealous that Europe and America don’t have this model. An all touch screen version of this device will undoubtedly be sold, it just takes time for the price of components to fall.
No one thinks about it now, but at some point in your lifetime kids will be able to get a $50 handset with GPS, WiFi, 3G (maybe even 4G) and a 5 megapixel camera. This KF600 is just a precursor to an all touch model for the mass market.
