LG KP500 is a budget touch phone

Today , LG announced the KP500 as a budget full touch phone, to be considered by these who like the Renoir KC910 but are not willing to spend a fortune on getting it. LG claims that the affordable introduction price of the new KP500 has never been offered before on a full touch phone, but will announce the exact number during the launch, at the end of October.

The KP500 has similar look to the Renoir and seems to be running on identical software, with widgets on the homescreen. It is a quad-band GSM (probably lacks 3G) with a 3-inch display, accelerometer, on-screen QWERTY and handwriting recognition. It will have 3MP camera instead of the 8-megapixel one on the Renoir and will lack Wi-Fi, GPS, and support for DivX and XviD videos. KP500 will be available in four colors: black, Vandyke brown, Anodizing silver, and Elegant gold.
