LG KP500LG’s not content with multi-tallented 8 megapixel phones like the Renoir, the company wants to bring touchscreen handsets to the masses, and this is the phone to do it: the bargain basement KP500.

Packing a full touchscreen interface, complete with the same widgets we’ve already seen on the Renoir, the KP500 also squeezes in handwriting recognition and a motion sensor, powering games, and the screen’s auto-rotation.

Touchscreen, motion sensor, widgets. All for a low, low price.There’s no word on the camera included, but LG’s implying in its announcement that the KP500 will see a 5 megapixel sensor shoved in its rear.

Out next month, LG’s promising a “low price tag,” but hasn’t clarified exactly what it’ll be yet.

    Hmm. At 3.2 megapixel, I’m not so sold any more. And yep, those ‘bookie’s pen’ style styluses annoy me too.
