Third LG Black Label Series phone previewed
April 7th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
Special Monday morning treat - we've got a sneak preview of the third in the highly stylish LG Black Label series of handsets, following in the footsteps of the successful LG Chocolate and LG Shine. Like its two predecessors, the phone is a combination of cutting edge tech with brilliant design, and it will be one of the slimmest 5MP cameraphones out there.

The phone's most distinctive feature is the dual screen. The first screen is a 240x320 pixel 2" LCD screen, the same top-quality screens on many of our other phones. The second is a 240x176 pixel touchscreen called the InteractPad. The InteractPad replaces the standard navigation keys on the phone with a set of contextual icons that change according to what you're doing. For example, when navigating the menu it displays...
