US Cellular’s LG Genesis

The rumors of this device hitting US Cellular was about three weeks ago, but the device has recently popped up on LG’s own website and since there has been no official announcement we can only guess that this is either a mistake on LG’s part or we should be hearing an announcement from either LG or US Cellular very soon.

The device is a clam-shelled style kind of phone although it opens to its side, much like Nokia’s communicator series. It also features to screens, one in the front and one when you flip the device open. It also features a full QWERTY keyboard as you can see from the picture above. The LG Genesis should be setting you back $250 for a 2 year contract. In case you were wondering what the other specs of the device are:

• Android 2.2 Froyo
• 1GHz Snapdragon processor
• 3.5-inch external touchscreen.
• 3.2-inch internal touchscreen
• Five-row QWERTY keyboard
• 430MB of internal memory
• 8GB microSD card
• DLNA multimedia sharing

It does look like a pretty good phone with not too shabby specifications although the fact that it is still running on Android’s Froyo 2.2 is a bit of a let down.
