LG KC780, seems to be an el cheapo 8mp offering, very much like the current 5mp KC550, i.e with no 3G etc but with the focus (pun?) on the camera abilities:

What's the point of a "cheap" 8MP phone? I mean, that many MP is for enthusiasts, I presume. Why'd someone get a cheapo version?

Because some people love to have good cameras on their phones, and they cant afford a Viewty and such. Its not always about the rich folks you know

I quite like its appearance actually. It will be better when we see some higher quality shots though.

But it will probably still get nice reviews from Eldar simply because it's not an SE handset...

More info about LG's new KC780, which is set to be the thinnest 8mp phone to date:

Also in that article, apparently LG are going to be announcing another touchscreen device tomorrow as well.
