Full LG KP500 specs and details officially outed

LG's been pretty busy this year with swanky touchscreen phones. And after the excitement of the 8MP KC910 Renoir, we're finally being treated to a ful

Rocking a stylus and  a hefty 3in screen, the KP500 will come toting a 3MP snapper, Bluetooth 2.1 and SD support up to 8GB. That should be plenty for affordable MP3s and a few semi–decent pics we reckon.

We’re out with LG in Korea right now, so stay tuned for more exclusive, hot–off–the–press news as we get it. And remember, if you’re after a touchscreen phone, read our feature on the best one for you.
