LG makes new touchscreen phone official

First, the Glimmer was leaked via magazine ad, now comes the official word from LG. Yet, there is still no confirmation when we’ll actually see it from Alltell. This could be a very nice little phone: it has touch screen sex appeal and the looks of a simple user interface. This little phone is pretty hot.

It’s 2.8 inch screen is not only touchable but equipped with haptic feedback. You can choose to use the slider keypad or the onscreen version. The UI looks vaguely familiar but welcomely simple all the same.

The unwired view is putting forth speculation that we’ll see a GSM version at CTIA. Here are the current specs from LG:

• 1900/800 MHz dual band CDMA connectivity, High Speed EVDO data
