The Tritan features a 3-inch QVGA touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, full HTML browser, 3G connectivity, music player, G sensor, Bluetooth and a 3 megapixel camera.

SAN DIEGO and CHICAGO, June 19
LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc. (LG Mobile Phones) and U.S. Cellular today announced the all new LG Tritan(TM). Customers can now enjoy a 3″ full touch-screen and sliding QWERTY keyboard, 3.0 mega-pixel camera and camcorder and 3G network speed all in one sleek wireless handset.
LG Tritan incorporates all the best of today’s mobile technology, utilizing a next generation user interface and a large 3″ touch screen with tactile feed-back. Its sturdy form factor and swift touch screen slides out to reveal a 4-line QWERTY keyboard for quick and easy messaging.
Users can tune-in to premium stereo sound from the music player via headset or Bluetooth(R) wireless technology. LG Tritan comes packed with a 3 megapixel camera and camcorder allowing users on the go to take high quality close-ups of friends and family. The phone supports up to a 16GB microSD card that is great for expanding the memory space for pictures, music and videos.
“LG Tritan is the best of both worlds – A sturdy full QWERTY keyboard and responsive touch screen,” said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG Mobile Phones. “U.S. Cellular and LG came together to deliver a wide range of assets in this handset.”
“LG Tritan’s built in browser gives our customers the convenience of quickly accessing the Web and downloading content,” said Alan D. Ferber, Chief Marketing Officer at U.S. Cellular. “Customers also have a choice between using the full touch screen or the QWERTY slide out keypad for texting or while on the Web.”
By including easyedge(SM), U.S. Cellular’s suite of enhanced wireless data application services, LG Tritan allows customers to send and receive e-mails and provides access to news and weather applications, games and hundreds of other useful applications. The phone also comes preloaded with Your Navigator, which provides voice turn-by-turn directions and a mobile browser.
LG Tritan is available at U.S. Cellular retail locations, or via www.uscellular.com.
FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that looks like the G1
“Joystick” in a weird spot. (If I had a dollar for everytime my joystick was in weird spot)
looks pretty good to me.
nice for the big texters
As a US Cellular customer, I’m a little irritated that we’re so far behind in cell phone availability. Our “best” smartphone offering is a Blackberry.
Well anyway, this phone looks pretty cool and landscape keyboards rock.
Is that a G1 from LG?
Looks like the mash up of a sk3 and g1 .
Looks pretty cool actually . The joystick placement looks like itd be more comfortable .
I Love LG Products, but maybe they forgot that people cant stand that annyoing chin on the g1 That cramps peoples hand…
Ill give them a break because US Cellular is pretty much irrelevant…But it is a nice phone
Looks like the G1 had a bastard child with some form of an LG model, who finally came out of hiding.
Is it equipped with accelerometer, or does it landscape when slid open?
@ 5th
Don’t you say “fuck you” to people who are/say “first”? Fuckin loser

Flash player would be great. Who doesn’t want to watch Cakefarts when on the go?

Lol sorry 5th…my bad
G1 anyone?
I’m a poet and didn’t know it
I have the htc touch pro from U.S. Cellular and it has flash on skyfire but its just not for me so I plan to get this phone soon.
So why dnt u like the HTC Touch Pro?
Matt Alexander-Why you dn’t like the htc pro i wanted it but decided to get the tritan and i’m glad i did its a awesome phone.
its sluggish, the battery sucks, its always charging and the hinges are loose.
and can you download music from wap.hacktherazr.com on the Tritan Roz?
Matt Alexander-dn’t know if you can download music from that site never heard of it.
can you try it?
So the LG tritan is better than the HTC touch????????????
that depends on what type of phone you want.
