Function: Unknown
Technical: This is an example of a ‘slider’ or slide phone. The purpose of a sliding form factor is to allow the operator to take advantage of the full keyboard and large display, without sacrificing the small portable size of the phone. This is done by “retracting” the keyboard/keypad into the phone when they are not in use. Sliding phones were introduced to the market in 1999. The LG Neon features a semi-touchscreen that can only be used as a dialer or for accessing the contact list. This phone is an entry-level messaging phone that cuts out many features, such as 3G and Wi-Fi. The LG Neon has a 2 megapixel camera, a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard, and Bluetooth that can be used to transfer files between other devices. The Neon also features a micro SD card slot that can support up to 4 GB of memory. The GSM phone supports various formats of music including Mp3, AAC, and WAV, and can also take video. It supports Java allowing the user to transfer JAR and JAD files to the phone and install them. It is EDGE capable and has its own web browser as well as a messenger and mail application capable of connecting to the users Yahoo and Hotmail accounts.
