LG Electronics has announced the European availability of its HSDPA-enabled LG-KF700 multimedia handset.

According to LG, the new wireless phone combines three input methods to create an amazingly intuitive user interface.

Input methods include a 3-inch touchscreen, alphanumeric keypad and Shortcut Dial.

Along with its new HSDPA, the handset includes an MP-3 player, a new MPEG-4 video player, 3-megapixel camera and full Bluetooth functionality.

“LG has already established itself as a leader in wireless phones with touch technology with Chocolate, the Prada Phone by LG and Viewty, and the LG-KF700 continues this legacy,” said Skott Ahn, president and CEO of LG Mobile Communications.

Ahn added “we realize that touchscreens are a wonderful advancement, but they are not the solution for every problem or every user. We looked beyond just touch when designing the LG-KF700 and studied how people actually use their phones."

"The LG-KF700’s three separate input methods provide unmatched convenience and this means that users don’t have to give up anything to gain a touchscreen," said Ahn in a statement.

LG didn't offer specifics on its availability, but said that it is now available in Europe and will become available in other markets in the following months.
