LG's new touchscreen phone is begging for your thumbgrease

lg touchscreen

We always say touchscreens are the future of cellphones, and here's proof that it isn't just a pie-in-the-sky idea. The LG KE850 is all screen, with whatever buttons you need coming up for you to press as needed.

There are certainly some drawbacks to touchscreen devices, such as their lack of tactile response, imperfect mapping making you press the wrong buttons, and their propensity to get greasy and disgusting really quickly. There's not much info on the KE850 at the moment, so who knows if LG has addressed any of these problems or is just releasing a phone to those people who've just gotta have a touchscreen phone, no matter what. We'll keep you updated when specs, availability, and price are announced.
