To hit the market in October

Not long after announcing the European and Japanese release of KF300, LG has unveiled another new handset from the KF family, namely the KF350. Like the KF300, the new phone comes in a clamshell form factor and it's designed with fashion-conscious users in mind.

The new LG looks pretty simple when closed, unveiling a user-friendly keypad and a cool navigation pad when flipped. Maybe the best feature of the clamshell is its 3 Megapixel camera, although the fact that it lacks auto focus might make the pictures look not that good in certain conditions.

Camera aside, the rest of the specs that the new LG comes with include: a 2.2 inch TFT internal display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels, tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, Music player (MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA files are supported), Video player (MPEG4, H.263), polyphonic ringtones, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, email, Web browser, messaging capabilities (SMS, MMS and EMS), USB 2.0 and so on. There are 30MB of memory on board of the KF350, expandable via a microSD card.

The new clamshell weighs 102 grams and, when closed, it measures 100.9 x 50.9 x 14.8 millimeters. An 800 mAh battery has been included by LG in the phone, but its performances are currently not known.

LG KF350 will come in several color versions, like any other fashion-oriented phone. Besides the pink one, seen in the available images with the clamshell, there will also be at least a blue variant.

LG intends to start selling the KF350 in Europe in October, first in Ukraine. After that, the phone should reach most of the European markets and maybe the Asian ones, too. The device's price is not known yet, but it shouldn't be much higher than the one of KF300 (130 Euros or about $195).
