LG Optimus Pro leaks with a portrait QWERTY keyboard

The rumor mill just produced this - the LG Optimus Pro C660. It's a droid with a portrait QWERTY, with specs roughly similar to the Optimus One and at a bargain price too. The form factor is fairly rare but has been gaining some traction with the likes of the HTC ChaCha and the Motorola Pro.

The LG Optimus Pro C660 has a 2.8" screen with an unknown resolution and a portrait four-row QWERTY keyboard below it. The screen aspect ratio is 4:3, so QVGA resolution sounds likely - we doubt it will be a VGA screen for this kind of cash.

The Optimus Pro reportedly runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a 800MHz CPU with 512MB RAM. It packs a 3MP camera, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and an 1500mAh battery - al last-year's entry stuff. Supposedly, there's 150MB app storage but there's no info on any preinstalled microSD cards.

All these specs are unconfirmed so take them with a pinch of salt.

Still, if the €180 ($250) price proves correct, the HTC ChaCha will have some tough competition on its hands. Italian's chhain Mediaworld.it is rumored as one of the stores that will offer the LG Optimus Pro, but there's really nothing solid on availability yet - when, where, etc.
