The latest phone released by LG is the KB6100, a credit card-sized mobile handset which comes together with a leather casing that makes it look like a wallet. I don't really know if the guys from LG were the first to implement this "wallet phone" concept, but I'm very sure this is a pretty practical thing for anyone that doesn't want to have a phone scratched beyond recognition.

The 10.95 mm thick device offers support for T-DMB television with M-XD engine and a 170 degrees view angle so you can watch your favorite program in any occasion, TV program recording while watching and you can also view the DMB stream on your PC monitor by connecting the KB6100 to your computer through the USB port.

Other nice features offered by this handset are the 1.3 megapixel camera, a built-in MP3 player, EV-DO connectivity and the MUVEE function so you can make your own video clips from photos and a background music.

We don't know anything about a release date or the store price of the phone for now, but we do know that the phone will be launched under the LG's mobile phone brand CYON. Now, put your remote down and don't change the channel because we will be the first to inform you in case anything new comes to surface.
