While at CTIA 2009 trade show in Las Vegas, the guys of cnet managed to get up close and personal with the LG Xenon handset and do a hands on review.

The LG Xenon handset measures 4.16 x 2.11 x 0.62 inches with a 2.8 QVGA touch screen with 3 physical keys, Send, End/Power, and Task Manager which pops up the apps list allowing the user to toggle through it.

The LG Xenon high light is the QWERTY slide out keyboard which features 4 rows of raised keys making typing easier, along with dedicated messaging keys, a @ key, dedicated emoticon key, and a .com key. For that full hands-on review and lots of images nip over to their website.
