It has a resistive touch which is found in high end mobile devices in a TFT screen which has a size of 240 X 400 pixels. The internal memory gives you enough space to store your contact information and basic ringtones, wallpapers, etc with its 56 MB memory. The microSD slot which comes with this device is extendable for up to 8 GB.

It has EDGE and GPRS under class 12 with data of rates of up to 48kbps. 3G and WLAN support are not slated for the initial version of the release. Other data communication port includes a Bluetooth with V 2.0 support. For connectivity with your laptops and personal computers, there is a provision for microUSB version 2.0.

SMS threaded view is one feature that is sure to attract most short messaging teens of today. There is extensive support for Email an MMS as well.

There is no scarcity for entertainment with this mobile. You can listen to your favorite station on the move with stereo FM radio. The device also has an FM transmitter. There is no mobile without browser support these days and LG Etna is no different. It comes with a wap 2.0 version supported browser with xHTML support.

You can also spend your time going through the games archive LG provides. The mobile is expected to be sold in four colors including black, Purple, Aqua blue and light silver. While the manufacturer might not have had 3G networks at their mind, they definitely had social networking right up there.

The device has support for Java and has several social networking integration tools. Further the java also supports MP3 and MP4 players with document viewer and organizer. There is the usual support for t9 despite the presence of QWERTY keyboard. This is mostly provided in mobile phones to provide a smooth transition for people who are used to T9 dictionary mode.

The standard Lithium Ion battery is used in this device. It is expected to have a 5hr 30 minutes talk time which is not bad at all. A standby time of 440 hours is also announced. This mobile was nick named as the LG Etna probably after the active volcano Mt. Etna. This mobile is likely to be released in the mid 2010 period and it will have to catch up fast with the already hit Corby models from Samsung.
