Hasta La Ideas

LG and Verizon have officially launched the Versa, a new cell phone that wants to have its cake and eat it too: In addition to the touch screen, there’s a detachable QWERTY keyboard. It’s got a bunch of features intended to compete with the iPhone–Visual Voicemail, accelerometer, customizable home screen–and a few features absent in the iPhone, like a camera that can record video, a web browser that can run flash, and a micro SD port.

But the feature we’re most interested in, from an interface/form factor perspective, is that removable keyboard. What do you think, will people take a shine to it, or is it the kind of thing they’ll always leave at home?
