LG Mini GD880

Mobile phone community, recently is being treated by one of the smallest touchscreen smartphone from the Korean Mobile phone innovator, LG, with the announcement of LG Mini GD880.

The easily pocketable LG Mini GD880 delivers great looks at a reasonable price, along with the trendy features that people want.
