LG is introducing a new range of phones, LG Town GT350.Designed as an entry-level touchscreen device, it will come bearing both touch controls and a four-row QWERTY keyboard with that playful design reminiscent of the company’s youth-oriented messaging handsets. According to LG, it will use a non-smartphone version of S-Class UI as the interface, tweaked to “make it easier than ever to enjoy real-time interaction with friends on popular social networks.”
Details of the LG Town GT350 include a 3-inch WQVGA resistive touchscreen (240 x 400 resolution), a 2.0 megapixel camera module, Bluetooth 2.1, an FM tuner, WiFi and microSD card expansion. Network support is restricted to GSM/EDGE, with no 3G. Despite the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, it clocks in at a slim 15.9 mm.
Key software features include a live social networking feed (ala Motoblur) with quick one-tap refresh and close integration of social services, such as Facebook, Twitter and Orkut. It will be available in four colors – aqua blue, purple, light silver and black.
