We open up LG's KM560, which won a design award at Mobile World Congress, even though it resembles another phone we know too well.

 It kind of surprised us that the LG KM560 would win a design award. Not that the phone isn't pretty, we liked the color scheme, the matte and glossy paint accents and the brushed metal effects. Still, it looks so much like a RAZR that we wouldn't give it points for originality, for sure. Perhaps if customers can't pick up a RAZR on the cheap (unlikely), they could grab this phone instead, which we expect will be aimed at emerging markets and budget consumers. Release: July 2008.
Pros: Nice design, with some cool accents and easy buttons.
Cons: Looks too much like a RAZR for our taste.
