LG tries to creep you out with phone that feels like human skin

It's not often we see a cellphone that we're actually a little hesitant to pick up, but LG has managed to pull off that considerable feat with its new LG-SH240 slider, which boasts the rather unique characteristic of a keypad that purportedly feels like real human skin. If that hasn't swayed you away from it, you can also expect the phone to pack a 2 megapixel camera, 3G HSDPA connectivity, and built-in Bluetooth, among other decidedly non-creepy features. You apparently won't be able to pick one up 'round these parts anytime soon though, but those in Korea can grab one now for 400,000 won, or just about $400.
