LGs KF700 has everything a cellphone needs these days: A camera (3.0MP), 3G (HSDPA) a web browser, video and music players and, of course, a touch screen.

The KF700 also has a second touchpad, which works much like a screen, swapping the displayed soft buttons depending on what you're using the phone for. There's also a shortcut dial on the back – a real, physical wheel which can be set to cycle between a set of your favorite functions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnQEdK2-1k

In use, it's a little frustrating. As you can see in the video, there is a noticeable lag between "swooshing" and icon and the screen's reaction. In some cases, enough to make me try twice and end up doing the wrong thing. But it's pretty and the camera works well. It even has image stabilization. We predict success.
