LG’s marketing intelligence team toiled hard to know about user perceptions on touch screen phones and came to the conclusion that most people want to try the latest touch screen phones but keep away because of its hefty price tag. And instead of making those interested consumers go in for a sub-$100 Chinese touch screen phone, LG created their cheap version in the form of KP500. The phone supports quad-band GSM and has a 3-inch wide touch screen. It has also got an Active Flash UI like the TouchFLO, accelerometer helping to auto-rotate, QWERTY layout keyboard and support for motion sensor games.
KP500 fares well on the camera front with a decent 3-megapixel sensor. The ‘affordable’ price is a mystery which will be known on the launch when it will land first in Europe next month followed by the remaining countries.
