We shouldn’t be surprised that there’s a ridiculous amount of Windows Phone 7 Series information coming out, considering the MIX10 event is still going on. But this is almost ridiculous, now. As we’ve previously seen, LG already has a handset marked for the Windows Phone 7 Series treatment, but if this image you’re seeing now is meant to be believed, then it looks like the company does indeed have another device in the works.
LG Electronics has just introduced a stylish new clamshell phone for the Russian market, and it goes by the name LG GD350. While it doesn’t have much to show in the features department, it can certainly hold its own in the looks department. With an all-black exterior and gold accents, the LG GD350 has every right to be called sexy.
Despite its compact size, the LG GD350 packs enough features to keep your average cellphone user busy. On the outside, it features red LEDs and an external display that shows notifications for incoming calls, messages and the current date/time. It also has a 2-megapixel camera mounted on its upper half.
Meet the LG Cookie Fresh (LG GS290). It may seem just like any other touchscreen device out there, another run-of-the-mill mid-range collection of social networking, but you’d . . . Well, actually, you’d be right. This phone isn’t meant to wow the masses. What it is meant to wow is the wallet, which, arguably, may be the most important thing to wow.
Only days after announcing that it’ll make a Windows Phone 7 handset, LG also mentioned that it’ll launch an Android phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Till now we’ve only seen one LG Android device, the GW620, that wasn’t that impressive.
The LG Arena Max LU9400 has been officially introduced in Korea via LG Telecom, as LG Maxx LG9400. It is the first phone to be launched in South Korea with a Snapdragon CPU at 1GHz. The LG Maxx features a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a finger-touch mouse, GPS, WiFi, mobile TV (T-DMB), LG’s S-Class 3D UI, DivX support, HD video and a 5MP camera.
Here’s finally a glimpse of the very first Windows Phone 7 phone, made by LG and shown by Microsoft’s Aaron Woodman during the latest Engadget show. Aaron demos a pretty cool sliding QWERTY smartphone, an LG prototype that runs Windows Phone 7 Series, but don’t expect any specs or details that soon.
Available since last month in the UK as LG InTouch Max, the LG GW620 has now been launched in Italy, too, as LG LinkMe.
The GW620 / LinkMe is LG’s first Android smartphone and comes with a 3 inch HVGA touchscreen display (resistive, unfortunately), as well as a full 5-row QWERTY keyboard.
The handset also features HSPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, full HTML browser, access to Android Market, LinkBook (which provides easy access to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter), 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera with flash, and a 1GB memory card in the box.
Like the GW620, LG LinkMe runs Android 1.5 and it will probably be upgraded only to Android 1.6. In Italy, the phone costs €299 (about $405).
Here’s a video preview of the LG LinkMe (in Italian):
LG Cookie was a hugely popular affordable touchscreen handset, only rivalled by the likes of Samsung Corby in 2009 and finally we learn that the popular LG phone will get a follow-up. Dubbed LG Cookie Plus (or LG GS500), the handset gets pictured below and we learn that it’s a touchscreen phone with 3G support.
LG Electronics has just unveiled the LG 201 handset in South Korea, basically a line more than a handset, including three models: SU210, KU2100 and LU2100. These units are identical as far as specs are concerned, but they’re meant to reach different carriers: SK Telecom, Korea Telecom and LG Telecom, respectively.
The devices should retail for about $500 each and they’ll come packing GSM/WCDMA connectivity, a 3 inch touchscreen display (240 x 400 pixels), 2GB SDRAM (is this possible?!), 4GB of NAND flash memory, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1. There’s also a microSD card slot on board, a T-DMB TV tuner and a 5 megapixel camera.
The 1500 mAh battery, GPS, accelerometer and light sensor complete the specs list of this device, weighing 121 grams and sporting an iPhone-like interface.
Britain’s T-Mobile and Virgin branches have recently launched the LG InTouch Max GW620 handset, the handset maker’s first Android smartphone. This Android 1.5 device is pictured below, sporting a sliding QWERTY keyboard and tons of social networking feats.
