If you want a phone with touch screen technology then this LG phone is worth a second look. It is touted to be an update of the LG Prada or KE850 phone but sans the Prada brand name and with more beef to boot so you can maybe expect it to be more affordable.
The LG KS20 boasts of a 128MB memory, microSD support, GRPS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA support, a touchscreen measuring 2.8 inches with 240 x320 pixel resolution, 2.0 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio plus a Windows Mobile 6 Pro Operating System.
It boasts of a touchscreen technology that makes it similar but not as popular as Apple’s iPhone. Users will find less use for the standard keypad since they can access information and the phone features just by touching the screen or using the stylus.
For entertainment, there’s the FM radio plus the Microsoft Windows Player 10 and playing features that include MP3, WAV and MPEG4 file formats.
All these features are packed in the LG KS20 phone’s 92.5 gram weight and 99.8 x 58 x 12.8 mm size.

No, the photo does not advertise a facial or skin-smoothening product. Want to guess again? Of course, it’s about the new LG LG-SH240 3G Phone which literally feels like skin.
Eerie, you might say. But LG has taken the cellphone war too seriously and came up with a cell phone that will not only allow you to make calls but will also allow you to touch its skin although I still do not see the logic behind that feature.
The phone is actually made of metal and silicon materials but the latter was made to imitate the texture of real skin. Thus, you have keypads that feels like real skin.
In case you are the weird type and you like the skin-like texture then you might also be interested to know that the cellphone has a 2 megapixel camera, an MP3, Bluetooth and video call capabilities, subway map and a dictionary (when words fail you!).
The phone is available in Korea for now at $400.
