LG is developing a new Chocolate slider, the KU580. While looking a bit more chubby than the original it the rumors say it features a 320×240 landscape display, GSM Triband, WCDMA, 3G wireless through UMTS, 2 megapixel camera (plus a 0.3 megapixel camera for video calls), Bluetooth 2.0, MP3/eAAC+/WMA-player (plus FM-receiver) and it ships preloaded with nifty apps like GMail and Google Maps.
“The first mobile phone with landscape display that is suitable for music and movies. It conveys a stylish image by eliminating complex key partitions, emphasizing the round MOD key on the simple front display and adding touch-sensitive keys to its fresh new look. The user can access music content without opening the sliding phone, and when being used as a phone, the slide module operates gently with a single touch.”
