LG KG290 Finally Out on the Market

After a long time of waiting, LG KG290 has finally hit stores. It's nothing out of the ordinary and should manage to bring solutions only to the average needs of the users.

The handset has been recently announced for a release earlier this month and now finally hit stores. This slider phone comes with a 1.7 inch screen, smaller than most other ones out there. It should leave the feeling of cramming all information on a space that is obviously too small. The 128 x 160 pixels resolution is smaller than anything needed to look at least appealing.

There is also a 1.3 megapixel camera included, which should also bring only low quality captures. Its sizes also make the phone look rather bulky, at 92 x 46 x 17.7 mm, more than many other slider phones out there come at. The design also makes it look rather standard, with little or no personality at all.

One advantage that LG KG290 has to bring for its owner is the FM radio, which should take care of the entertainment aspect. There is also an MP3 player included, which makes the 5MB of on-board memory useless without the additional microSD card slot. Other specifications also include Bluetooth and USB connectivity, as well as a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser. There is no 3G included, although nobody actually expected to see such a feature here.

The reason for all the excitement for the release of this device is caused mainly by the high demand for low end devices. Its price should also match the few performances that it brings, making it quite a deal on purchase. LG KG290 is currently available in Japan, although the producer made no specifications on the price that it will come for.
