This is also believed to use TouchWiz user interface as what the photos reveal. Design-wise, it doesn’t seem to have any much difference among other touch-screen devices we have these days.

LG comes up with a 3G version of their LG Wine, which was released back in January as a very basic low-to-mid end clamshell phone. Nothing much has changed though, but having it work for 3G network makes it decent enough.

This is so because this device (or rather the previous LG Wine) is targeted to middle-aged and older consumers.
