LG’s LG550 Musicphone

Engadget has some details on a new phone from LG, and while LG would not let them have any hands-on photographs of it, they managed to snag what they consider a bad photo of the phone, and some specs.

Yeah, that touchpad on the front definitely reminds us of you-know-what, but the rest of the phone is sleek and thin, and along with the Chocoloate Phone, the LG550 represents an evolution of LG’s handset design sensibility Specs are decent, but not extraordinary: EV-DO, Bluetooth, a MicroSD memory card slot, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, swappable faceplates, and software for creating your own ringtones by humming the melody of what you want it to be (or something along those lines).

We should see the LG550 in the U.S. in the second quarter of this year, but from who? Not sure yet.
