LG U900 announced for Hutchison in Italy

Yeah, we know, we're getting a little granular on this one, but remember LG's then-unnamed swiveling DVB-H handset? The one with the weird vaguely W300i-like buttons? Well, it was officially announced in Italy as the U900, and will see service through Hutchison's 3 network with UMTS service and, of course, their exclusive Italian DVB-H broadcast rights to the World Cup. The 1.3 megapixel and VGA cameras won't hurt, nor the 58MB internal flash, but what will, however, is a 3 hour battery lifespan watching video. That's still more than enough for a match, though, which is all it really needs to be, we suppose.

The buttons are quite obviously obscured by some sort of cover, probably for the same reason car manufacturers do it while test driving... come on guys, you're engadget, gotta stay on the ball!

Wow, that keypad looks like it would be really horrible to use...what were they thinking?

I almost posted a comment on this last night, but thought it was too obvious. The keypad is covered in this photo by something (vinyl?), but there is a picture with the keypad shown in all it's silver glory:
