LG launches transformer phone..


To promote the next big movie, LG and DreamWorks partnered up and announced a limited Transformers edition of the LG Versa. The sequel to the original Transformers movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, will be released June 25 in Hong Kong, and most other countries around the world.

This phone will be a special edition of the LG Versa touchscreen phone. Though the phone is not quite as transformable as those Transformers dudes, it’ll still be able to flip open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard for texting. Also, LG even plans to release addons to this phone, such gamepads for games, to add to the “transformability” of this phone.

We doubt it’ll have any new features except for the new skin in comparison to the original LG Versa, so we’ll show you the specs of the LG Versa:

* Network: 1900/800MHz CDMA/EV-DO
* Display: 3″ 480 x 240 Pixels, 262K Color TFT LCD, touchscreen; 120 x 56 pixels OLED external display
* Form Factor: Flip
* Camera: 2 mega-pixels, autofocus, flash
* Memory: microSD card slot
* Connectivity: Stereo Bluetooth, 2.5mm headset jack, USB
* Battery: 1100mAh Li-Ion, up to 290 minutes talk, up to 430 hours standby
* Misc: attachable QWERTY keyboard, HTML browsing, accelerometer

Unfortunately, this phone is currently only available in the U.S. from Verizon in the CDMA network. However, we do expect this phone to arrive in Hong Kong some time. We have no details as to the release date or pricing at this point, but what we could tell you is that the original LG Versa is US$200 on a 2-year contract from Verizon, which is not very cheap.
