LG thinks its found the antidote to bulky and unwieldy touchscreen mobiles with its new miniature handset.

The super-slim LG Mini manages to pack in a 3.2-inch touchscreen phone, WiFi, GPS, and a 5-megapixel camera with face detection.
Designed to slip comfortably in a shirt pocket or a tiny handbag, the phone has also been built to stand up to modern living with its textured metal side panels which LG calls “reassuringly solid to the touch”.

For staying in touch on the move, the phone comes with push email and Social Network Connect – giving built-in access to Facebook and Twitter. Browsing the sites should also be fast with the Mini’s 7.2Mbps HSDPA connection.

The LG Mini will be available in the UK from April with price and full specifications to be confirmed closer to the date.
