LG’s new cell phone, the LG LX260, got the seal of approval from the FCC. From what’s been doing the rounds on the interwebs, the LX260 comes in a slider form factor, offering a QWERTY keyboard. It is slated to be released through Sprint sometime in the next few months.
Obviously, the LG LX260’s got Bluetooth, a camera, and for expanding the ever shrinking on-board memory, a microSD memory slot. Not many details available apart from this.Sunday, January 24, 2010
