LG Versa Announced by LG

Verizon announced today that the LG Versa will be making its US debut on March 1st. The Versa is a touchscreen phone with a twist. The phone comes with an attachable full QWERTY keyboard. It will be interesting to see how the “detachable” QWERTY keyboard idea catches on.

The phone has a built-in 2 megapixel camera with flash. Even though the camera megapixel size is nothing to get excited about, it does have a number of great features that you see in current cameras. The features include SmartPic for improved image quality and face detection.

The LG Versa will sell for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate (which will be loaded onto a debit card) and a two-year contract.

“Customers can personalize their LG Versa phones based on their messaging needs – either attach the QWERTY keypad to their phones or leave the keypad at home. The LG Versa’s home screen is transformed into a sizzling, animated 3D interface and customers can quickly customize three different home screens with their favorite shortcuts. The built-in accelerometer rotates the screen automatically from portrait to landscape, and customers can use rotation movements to steer games. The HTML Web browser includes Flash and RSS feed support, and customers can keep up to three windows open and switch from one window to the other to view pages.”
