I’m not sure what criteria most people use for buying a phone but I know I’ve never seen – “Feels Like Real Skin” listed anywhere on the specs. At least not outside of some dodgy sex publications that I saw once - briefly - but which weren’t mine. Honest.

These two beauties are showing off LG’s new ‘LG-SH240’ mobile phone which sports a keypad that feels like you’re touching real skin. I’m not exactly sure where that lies on the “Sort Of Normal -Totally F**ked Up” scale used by us for most gadget coverage, but it’s certainly not normal.

The material used is not real skin, you’ll be happy to know, but a silicone substance with the feel of real skin.

I could give you some other details about the phone but why bother? After all, what’s going to impress your friends more: the bog standard 2MP camera or Hannibal Lecter’s Special Feature. Launching in Korea only. For now.-Martin Lynch
