LG officially announced their “Pop” phone yesterday, better known as the GD510.  It lays claim to being the most compact 3-inch touchscreen phone on the market today, although I’m not sure how they’re qualifying that statement.  What’s really drawing headlines, though, is the optional solar panel back cover that can provide you with those added minutes of talk time when in a pinch.  Other features include 8GB of storage, a single home button that doubles as a call start/end button (it blinks green for answer, red for end) and a 3 megapixel camera.

There’s no word on a price, but you can expect the LG GD510 in the EU this October with other markets following shortly behind.
