The Android-powered LG GW620 may be targetting the teen-texters but hey, we like the look of it. Following our earlier story LG have sent us the full press release below. It confirms the 5-line QWERTY keyboard, 3" touch screen, 1500bAg battery and a 5 megapixel camera with "auto-face tagging" which will automatically recognise your friends faces in photos.
There's also something called "Face-to-Action" which lets you call, text, MMS or joing their social networking site by err.. touching their face. LG are also keen to point out the free apps available in the Android Market.
