T-Mobile will soon offer the LG DoublePlay 4G Android smartphone featuring a split QWERTY keyboard and dual capacitive touch screens, powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Equipped with dual customizable touch screens — a 3.5-inch main display and 2.0-inch sub display — that operate independently or in tandem, as well as a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and Swype for easy text input, the LG DoublePlay allows users to perform multiple tasks at once such as updating their Facebook pages while simultaneously surfing the Web, texting or checking email.
The LG DoublePlay comes with a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recorder, allowing users to capture and share pictures and videos via messaging, email or Facebook. The device also offers multiple messaging options, including Cloud Text and Group Text, giving users the ability to send and receive texts from a PC or tablet or create group chats on-the-go for faster, more efficient content sharing. LG DoublePlay features Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with access to Android Market and delivers complete user customization with seven home screens and up to nine touchscreen shortcuts for one-touch navigation.
