Leaked specs and images show a communicator-like LG Genesis with a clamshell from factor, two screens (one internal and one external), a hardware QWERTY keyboard and Android. This phone was originally called LG enV Pro and was headed to Verizon.
However, the Genesis for US Cellular pulled a phoenix and rose from the enV Pro ashes to have a second try. The leaked LG Genesis specs show that it runs Android 2.2 Froyo on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The two screens measure 3.5" (external) and 3.2" (internal), both of which have WVGA resolution. Opening up the clamshell reveals the internal screen and a full five-row QWERTY with D-pad.
The phone also features a 5MP camera with VGA video recording and Wi-Fi with DLNA connectivity. The Genesis will reportedly come with an 8GB microSD card and just so we are clear, its a CDMA device, no GSM connectivity.
The LG Genesis measures 119.9 x 61.7 x 16.8 mm and weighs a hefty 170 grams. That's not bad at all actually, considering there are two screens and a keyboard packed in under 17 mm.
But if donot need to see both screens at the same time and want a hardware keyboard too, then why not go with a side-sliding from factor with a tilting mechanism? Gimmick value aside, it seems like the better option.
