The virtual keys are also larger and better spaced than physical keys, improving accuracy.

The InteractPad is an ideal interface for controlling multimedia features like the KF600's digital audio player, camera and video camera. Since its controls are not tied to physical buttons, each of these functions has a custom interface that makes it intuitive to use.

The InteractPad is also equipped with multi-sensorial feedback that provides users with audio, visual and tactile cues. When a virtual button is pressed it becomes larger and the phone vibrates just slightly and makes a clicking sound. The feedback is not only designed to seem more like real buttons, it also improves comfort and accuracy.

LG's CU720 is one of a number of cell phones the company markets under the Shine model umbrella. This particular Shine slider has been built for AT&T and its HSDPA 3G network. In our tests of the phone we find it to be a real winner.

The Black AT&T LG Shine should be available by the end of February. The photo at left is not a true black AT&T LG Shine, it’s the European version. The AT&T version of the handset has a navigational joystick instead of the 3-way scroll. Anyway, the handset will not get any new features, only a sleek visual makeover.

As a reminder, the Black AT&T LG Shine features will include: quad-band GSM with 3G support for America (850/1900 MHz), and has a 2-megapixel camera, microSD memory slot, stereo Bluetooth and music player.

You can already purchase the silver and red versions of the handset, but the black AT&T LG Shine will be a nice addition to the line-up.
