Sony NW-S710F

The LG KG290 Slider Phone was released earlier this month after much anticipation. This slider phone is small and slim enough to slip comfortably in your pocket, and features a nice 1.7-inch TFT color screen, and a numerical keypad that slides out vertically. A 1.3-megapixel camera is also included in the phone, which is also capable of recording video. An FM radio is integrated into the phone as well.

One complaint that has so far emerged about the phone online in comments by users is the fact that it does not come pre-packaged with a USB cord, so if you're thinking about buying one you'll likely need to get a USB cable of your own that works with the phone.

Talk time on the LG KG290 is up to 200 hours stand-by, and up to 2-hours of talk-time. The phone is available in two color choices: black and grey. It is currently available in Japan.
