LG has been very busy in the last couple of weeks with the Black Label Series 4, the newest Chocolate phone, but they find some time in order to focus their attention on other handsets also. For example, they have made a pre-announcement that has something to do with the low end range of cell phones: the company is preparing a brand new messaging phone, the LG GW300.

Compared to the way LG decided to act when it comes to the new Chocolate phone, we won’t have to wait for relevant details to become available to the public, because the company has already taken care of this aspect.

As I said, the GW300 is part of the low end family of phones, being focused on the messaging features. As a consequence, it comes with integrated Facebook and email clients, with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2.4 inches QVGA display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, USB 2.0 connectivity, stereo Bluetooth and 2.5G GSM, GPRS/EDGE. The phone weighs no more than 95 grams.



For the moment, we know nothing about the camera. We know there’s one, as you can see for yourselves in the pictures, but other details are not available.

As for the availability and the price, we should be a little bit patient. But don’t worry, there will be cheap cell phone plans conceived for this handset, as we’re talking about a low-end phone.

Exclusivity is what providers are looking for in their daily activity, especially when the product they’re aiming at is a very popular one or it’s expected to sell like hot cakes. If you remember, O2 UK has managed to obtain the exclusivity for a highly anticipated device, the iPhone 3GS, and for another one that was on everybody’s lips in the past couple of weeks.

Following O2’s example, T-Mobile UK decided to try its best in order to become the only carrier to sell the LG GT500. And it seems that it managed to reach its objective. Chances are high for this exclusivity to turn into a very advantageous business, because the GT500 is a very cheap touch sensitive phone that is expected to sell well.

The success of the phone is guaranteed, being a mixture between a very stylish design and a nice list of features. To be more precise, the LG GT500 is equipped with a 3 inch touch sensitive display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity, push email, and preinstalled links that give you the chance to access some of the most popular networking websites that are available right now, such as Facebook and Twitter.



As for the availability, the handset is expected to start selling right away via T-Mobile UK. You’ll be able to get it for free, as long as you choose plans of at least £25 per month.

LG is preparing these days to enter the Chinese market of 3G, and they will do this by launching two new devices that are aimed at two important companies: China Mobile and China Telecom. The two new LG phones will be known under the name of LG KT878 and LG KV920. The first phone is targeted at China Mobile, while the second is aimed at China Telecom.

The KT878 is a TD-SCDMA smartphone compatible with the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system and comes with a list of features that includes: a 3 inches WVGA touch sensitive display, a 5 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, music player, FM radio and a microSD card slot for expandable memory.

The second cell phone, the LG KV920, is a CDMA2000 device and will be sold to the Chinese people via China Telecom, which is the third carrier of the country. This is the Chinese version of the LG Voyager, which is currently available in the United States, sold by Verizon Wireless. The phone comes equipped with a WQVGA display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and music player.



The company didn’t announce the release dates for the two new LG phones, nor the prices, but I’m sure they will become available in the sometime in the near future.

Precisely in the day when the LG GM730 was made official, the cell phone manufacturer decided to present to its customers another handset based on the Windows Mobile. The new LG smartphone unveiled by the South Korean company is the GW550, which is compatible with the Windows Mobile operating system, just like I said earlier, the 6.1 Standard version.

If you remember well, the GM730 runs on another version, the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, which is one of the major differences between the two cell phones.

As for the design, it’s possible that you find a resemblance between the GW550 and a Nokia handset, the E71, which is one of the Symbian smartphones that rejoiced a huge success in 2008, and why not, even during this year.



For those who are curious by nature, here you have a couple of images to look at, enough for you to make a first impression about the new LG smartphone, based on Windows Mobile.

The features of the phone include: quad band GSM connectivity, tri band UMTS connectivity (850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz), HSDPA with speeds of 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2.0 Mbps, a 2.4 inches QVGA display, a 3 megapixel camera, a full QWERTY keyboard. The phone measures 116 x 61.5 x 12 millimeters and is powered by a 1,300 mAh battery.

We can’t say right now when the GW550 is going to become available and under what price.

At the beginning of this year, back in February, there were some rumors concerning a brand new LG device that was said to become available sometime during this year, the LG GM730. It wasn’t an official announcement back then, but here we have it right now.

The phone has just been given the official treatment, but if you look at the pictures you will notice a small difference between the original handset and the one we have right now in front of our eyes. Compared to the old one, which had a round d-pad, this version of the GM730 has a rectangular d-pad.

As for the features, nothing has changed. The list is the same: GSM and HSDPA connectivity, the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, S-Class 3D user interface, a 3 inch TFT touch sensitive display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi, GPS functionality and microSD card slot for expanding the memory with no more than 16GB.

It seems that the phone will be available in three different colors: black, lime and pink, starting the next month (meaning July). The first customers to enjoy this cell phone are those from countries like Singapore and Taiwan, and others from Asia that weren’t mentioned. Unfortunately, there isn’t a retail price specified in the press release that announced the availability of this LG device.
