Confirming the leak from last week, LG and T-Mobile USA have announced the whacky LG DoublePlay Android 2.3 smartphone. In portrait mode the phone is a fairly standard, albeit smallish, Android device, but slide it open and suddenly you have an extra screen in between a full QWERTY keyboard.

When we first posted images of the DoublePlay its specs and features were uncertain, we can now confirm the following:

• 3.5-inch main display, 2.0-inch sub display
• 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
• Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
• 5MP camera with 720p video recording
• "Group Text" - create group chats on-the-go for faster content sharing
• "Cloud Text" - send and receive texts between a PC or a tablet

The press release boasts a lot about the DoublePlay's dual capacitive touch screens, which supposedly makes the device the "ultimate multitasking handset".
