LG KC780 Portrait Phone gets officialLG has finally made the LG KC780 slider handset official. Aka the Portrait Phone. The WTF phone may have been more apt since it sports an 8 megapixel camera, yet lacks some key features like 3G and Wi-Fi and GPS navigation, but what do I know? On the other hand, you get Face and Smile detection, automatic modes for new users, even a Beauty Mode that glams you up and gets rid of imperfections on your face.

ISO 1600 lets you capture better images in the dark, while on the other extreme a Smart Light setting helps with brightness. The handset also doubles as a webcam. Some other features include: GSM 900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 2.4? 240×320 QVGA 262k color display, FM radio, Built-in accelerometer, DivX playback, 140MB of user memory, microSD memory card slot, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR connectivity.
