LG's 'simple' GD510 touchscreen phone outed


LG has decided that the recent raft of touchscreen phones are overburdened with superfluous options which are unnecessary for use every day, so have released the streamline, simple-to-use LG GD510. Or to give it its simpler name: the LG Pop.

The phone comes packing an impressive 8GB of internal memory, 3-inch full WQVGA touchscreen interface, and a 3MP camera. The phone also includes an MP3 player.

The biggest sell here is the simplicity of the device. This is shown in the phone's navigation system: a single button is used on the interface which functions as the 'menu', 'end' and 'cancel' keys. This is coupled with a slim strip of light around the button shines either green or red indicating the handset's function.

Also, the phone has a fair few eco credentials as well, most notably the use of a solar panel on its back, so it can be charged by the sun.

Inevitably, simplicity means that there's no big features to write home about – and that includes a lack of 3G and Wi-Fi.

What you do get is a multimedia device which plays music and movies in several file formats. Oh, and it also makes calls too.

The handset has a UK release date in November and will be available from the Carphone Warehouse. Contracts and pricing are still to be confirmed. more details.
