LG Electronics today launched the KF700, a multimedia phone that combines three input methods: a 3-inch touch screen, alpha-numeric keypad and Shortcut Dial.
The KF700's 3-inch touch screen provides an onscreen interface and a wide aspect ratio for watching movies or browsing the internet. The Shortcut Dial on the back of the phone quickly scrolls through six user-selected features by controlling a virtual dial on screen, eliminating the need to dig through menus. The Shortcut Dial can also be used to zoom in on web pages, scroll through emails or adjust volume. The alpha-numeric keypad simplifies making phone calls and typing text messages.When browsing the internet on the touch screen, the shortcut dial zooms in and out on websites. When sending text messages, the alpha-numeric keypad provides the letters, while frequently used symbols are available on the touch screen. These symbols change based on users text messaging habits. A full-featured Web browser provides access to Google Search, Blogs, Gmail, Maps and Youtube. Support for HSDPA 3G networks makes browsing extremely fast. Other features include an MP3 player, MPEG-4 video player, 3.0-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and more. "LG has already established itself as a leader in phones with touch technology with Chocolate, the Prada Phone by LG and Viewty, and the LG KF700 continues this legacy," said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. "We realize that touch screens are a wonderful advancement, but they are not the solution for every problem or every user. We looked beyond just touch when designing the LG KF700 and studied how people actually use their phones. The LG KF700's three separate input methods provide unmatched convenience and mean that users don't have to give up anything to gain a touch screen." The multimedia features are packed into a slim and clean, minimalist look. The LG KF700 is available in black and silver versions, as well as a black version with chrome accents. It is now available in Europe and will become available in other markets in the following months.
