And so did they just that, dipping it into a fish tank. It’d make for one insanely hip charging dock, but we digress.

From the Nokia Nseries-esque model name, to the nav button layout vaguely reminiscent of the N95 , to the thick slab of Lexan masquerading as a keypad, this one’s a keeper — and if that’s all not enough to convince you, the “8.0 pixels” camera around back just might seal the deal. Still not sold? See some sample output after the break.

This time, however, the 7.2Mbps HSDPA slider with world’s first transparent glass ( not plastic as originally assumed) keypad will be functional, running LG’s new S-Class UI on the 3-inch display
