LG developing 'fat' KU580 slider

The famous Chocolate phone series by LG is expanding yet again, this time with an unusually wide slider branded for global carrier Vodafone. Larger photos can be seen below. Despite the choice of carrier, Hungarian site Mobil Portal reports that the KU580 is only a tri-band GSM phone, and broadband is supplied through single-band WCDMA. A 0.3-megapixel secondary camera is supposed to allow video calls however, and the phone is also equipped with Bluetooth 2.0. Miscellaneous features include an FM radio, a two-megapixel still camera and a TransFlash (microSD) slot. Accepted music formats include AAC, MP3 and WMA. No pricing or release dates have been suggested. [via SlashPhone]
