Slider and clamshell phones have now combined gloriously with the LG SV280, a phone that has the ability to slide into an ergonomic banana shape. I have no idea if LG is using a banana as a moniker of this device, but if the shoe fits...

Features on this LG SV280 Banana Phone include a 1.3 Megapixel camera, QVGA screen, an MP3 player, and flashing sidebars for message notification.

So far, no word on price of availability of the LG SV280. Personally, if the LG SV280 really wants to emulate a banana, it really needs to do a better job. How many flat bananas have you ever seen?
