Twin-screen LG smartphone spied
Split keyboard splits opinion
Check this bad boy out. Unearthed at an event in London this week, this mysterious LG handset features a slide-out Qwerty keyboard split in twain by a second display, seemingly used to launch apps.
The yet-to-be announced LG device is branded with T-Mobile's logo and was demo'd among a selection of US-only handsets.
A series of snaps were grabbed by Pocket-Lint, which was told by reps that the phone may be called the Flip II.
Rumours suggest, though, it is the LG Maxx Q - a handset heading to the US at a later date.
We'll let you know when we hear more. What do you think about dual-screen handsets? ®

Desperate
Not nearly as annoying as this growing habit of asking questions at the end of articles.
What does everybody else think?
Looks like a n900 keyboard
Does that mean the rumours are true?
I actually don't mind it
Ever used ThumbKeyboard on an Android tablet? It splits the qwerty keyboard in this manner, which actually makes it easier to hold in both hands and type. I suspect the arrangement here is less about the second screen and more about the split keyboard.
LG = Lotta Grot
Twice as much to go wrong if previous LG handsets are anything to go by.
The 'BAD' in bad boy stands out!
This really does look crap. Why bother?
As for most androids looking the same... I think this just a result of the core android product being so good to start with. The base android and feature set is so strong that is does not leave a huge amount of scope to add anything of real substance to the pot for manufactures. I can't see this as a fault of android, it is more of a indicator as to how well it has addressed its market.
