In a secretive little area in the LG exhibit was a glass case guarded by two PR people, enthusiastically keeping people from taking pictures of what was inside. So what was inside?

It’s GSM based, with a high resolution touchscreen, Bluetooth, and 3 buttons plus a scroll wheel. The guys at Engadget got some brief hands-on time with one of the prototypes, which illustrates how easy it is to use despite its size:
