Quad-band LG F9100 to offer unique side-sliding keyboard

Information released by the FCC today shows a new LG phone featuring unique QWERTY keyboard, which slides out from the side of the phone. The external pictures of the device and manual reveal that the phone should be available from Cingular Wireless. The exact device dimensions are not known, but what we do know is that it will be quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) with Java support, Instant Messaging and voice recorder. Overall, the LG F9100 looks similar to the Motorola A630, but lacks its camera and Bluetooth.
