At the KES2006 10th International Conference on knowledge-based & intelligent information & information systems, the Korean LG company has unveiled its new full-metal body mobile phone, the elegant SV420, aka the LG Shine, KV4200 or LV4200. This slider handset, launched under LG's Cyon mobile phone brand, will most probably take the place of the previously launched LG Chocolate, with enough innovative things implemented in its design to impress any Chocolate addicted phone user.

The handset is featuring a 2.6 inch QVGA TFT-LCD mirror display, a scroll-key under the screen to browse the menu without needing to slide down the phone's keypad, a 2 megapixel digital camera from Schneider to capture the moments you don't want to forget, 1 GB of built-in memory to store the multimedia and personal files, a music player, and MUVEE features so you can make your own video clips with background music from the snapshots you have taken with your cell phone.

If you want to get your hands on this beauty, you will have to wait a little until LG decides the time has come to launch the "Shine" in other parts of the world, because, for now, the Koreans are the only ones that will be mesmerized by this device's charisma and will also be able to do anything about it. Anyway, there is no information yet about its release date or the price the SV420 will have in mobile stores.

And to have a fitting end for the presentation of such a mobile masterpiece, I want to write one last thing: LG, keep'em coming!
