LG Versa – Detachable Keyboard

LG Versa – Detachable Keyboard

Author JoeDigital

There are phones that are purely touch screen and don’t have keypads. There are phones that use only keypads. There are touch screens phones that come with a slide-in keypad. These varieties have problems of their own. Touch screen phones have recently had problems with accurate button pushing, while keypads take up the space in a phone that would have otherwise meant a wider screen. On the other hand, if you have both, you get a bulky phone.

But this is where the LG Versa comes in. It’s a Verizon Wireless touch screen phone that actually comes with a “snap-off” keyboard. It contains all the basics of Verizon’s phones (i.e. camera, SMS, etc.), but this one comes with a leather case where your detachable QWERTY keyboard is kept. You can attach it anytime if you feel like tapping on real keys for a change.

While this will be out $199 this March, Verizon and LG hint that future developments will allow other “detachable” accessories like gaming pads. Talk about a new breed of cell phone accessories!
