We were fairly impressed with the Mini's form factor – LG was able to cram a 3.2-inch screen unto a 102 x 47.6 x 10.6mm box. Users will only find a couple of buttons (Volume up and down, Camera hotkey, and Power), a hot-swappable microSD card...

LG's new GD880 Mini is what the company touts as the slimmest 3.2-inch touchscreen-equipped phone to date. We didn't get much of a chance to test out its features, since the devices had no SIM cards in them, but the user interface was quite...
