LG's KG800 GPRS Chocolate tri-band handset, one of several models, has a touch-sensitive navigation, and features a hidden display and touchpad that glows when activated, thus becoming ‘invisible' when not in use. Its award-winning design has proven very popular with consumers, having already sold six million units around the world since it debut in early May 2006 and achieving record sales in many countries. Other features include a high-quality MP3 music player, a multi-megapixel camera with flash and video recording, Bluetooth technology for wireless transmission of voice and data between compatible devices, 128 MB of onboard memory, and a high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.
