LG covers 120 countries with new slider

Through its South Korean Cyon brand, LG is planning a near-future release of a new slider phone, the KH1600. The company has so far kept mum on its specifications -- the focus is on its WCDMA receiver, which will reputedly allow it to connect in over 120 countries. This claim may, by extension, suggest that it has HSDPA, and that it could come to North America in a different incarnation. In terms of design, close examination reveals a front-mounted video camera, as well as a metallic frame and large-buttoned keypads. The price is confirmed to be 300,000 won ($328).
