LG's newest market hit in a clamshell form factor

Pure metal. Extremely good looking. Beats the crap out of any Chocolate in sight. These are three of the best features you'll be happy to experience if you will ever manage to get your hands on an LG-SV260. This is an LG Shine reborn from its own ashes and reshaped as a clamshell form factor device.

If you ask me, this is probably the ultimate cellphone when it comes to shear beauty. If you'll ask everyone else about it, they will most probably tell you the same thing.

The SV260 features an entirely made out of metal case, some parts of it brushed and others completely polished, smooth and shiny as a mirror. If it would have been more polished, they would have ended up with a real mirror covering the front side of the handset.

The phone features a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, an MP3 player, a 2 inch QVGA LCD display and TTS (Text To Speech), all packed up in a body measuring only 94.5 x 47.4 x 17.65 mm and weighing 196 grams. It has a lot of weight but you don't need to work out to carry it around and I am pretty sure you wouldn't have minded about it anyway if that would have been necessary :).

The only word that could sum up the qualities of this cellphone is written on its very case and it goes something like this: STYLE. It says it all and I don't think I have to insist on it anymore because you can see for yourself in the attached pictures that LG has done a heck of a job and this handset deserves to be the successor of Chocolate, a cellphone that in my humble opinion looks kind of dull when standing aside LG's new best-seller.

I don't know yet where the LG-SV260 will be launched or when will it happen, but the ones that will get their hands on it for the first time will also get the title of "the luckiest people on earth" from my personal collection of prizes :).
