Popcorn will get you free movie tickets anytime but what in the world will you be able to get when you have a popcorn phone? This is actually the question for those who are eyeing the LG GU280 Popcorn Phone, which is starting to attract attention not necessarily because of its looks, but because of its name.

The LG GU280 Popcorn Phone is LG’s answer to Samsung’s chocolate, not may be in terms of phone features or capabilities but in terms of mass appeal. The popcorn phone will first be seen in Italy but we are pretty sure this will be made available outside of Italy’s borders soon.

The delicious phone comes in a white-pink colored case, which could be a misnomer since popcorn is more like golden yellow to us. This is a slider phone with a 2-inch TFT screen display and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The internal memory of only 20MB is disappointing but it supports a microSD card slot with up to 4GB of extra storage.

The phone has basic connectivity features and by that we mean GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Bluetooth. With up to four hours of talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time, the LG GU280 Popcorn Phone will be a nice gadget to bring with you during the day or night, provided you’re not into marathon texting and calling.
