LG's SH490 'Make-Up Phone' has something to do with makeup, we guess
Guess who the SH490 "Make-Up Phone" is looking to sell? If you said "men who wear no makeup," deduct three points and take a nap. Yeah, this Korean domestic flip from LG is pretty glitzy, and as the name implies, fashion is the first priority -- sure, the lid can flash any of 18 emoticons with its LED array, but we wouldn't exactly peg that as a high-tech feature, if you know what we mean. It features video calling and a 3-megapixel cam in your choice of Smoky Red, Deep Blue, and Pearl White, and if you absolutely must have it, expect to pay about 500,000 won ($384) on SK Telecom.

Is it me or does this phone look dashingly similar to the Sony Ericsson Z610

Yeah it does, even on the inside... I guess since Sony Ericsson doesn't sell in the korean market they can rip it off as much as they want and nobody will call them out for it.

I just love how all products in asia have to be photographed with (usually) hot women holding/standing next to them. I wish we had that in America too :)

What is it with that? I guarentee 988% of those models don't have a clue how to use the product in the first place.
And it's actually REALLY creepy how white they are.
