LG has announced the launch of its new Shine Wood LG-LB2500H a wooden version of the popular Shine phone. The japaneese seem to prefer wooden material for cell phones.

By utilizing a technique called Curl-Fit the designers at LG have managed to give a wooden finish to the stainless steel surface of the mobile phone. It features T-DMB tuner, MP3 player, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth and a electronic dictionary. The phone’s interior is made from black titanium to match the wooden design.
