We’ll return with more information about this cellphone after an official LG announcement.

This LG model is a quad-band GSM but unfortunately it doesn’t support 3G network. To take photos there’s a 3-megapixel camera, and to listen to music you can use the FM radio or mp3 songs on the memory card.

The exact release date and price details are not known so far, and rumours mention a possible 3.5mm jack for the multimedia specs of the LG KM555E.

The official numbers are in and the mobile business look to be improving. 290.5 million cell phones have been sold in Q3 which is 5.6% more than Q2 2009. Furthermore analysts predict that the final quarter of 2009 will see a year-to-year improvement. Q4 2009 mobile phone sales should amount to 300 million handset which would be 3% more than in Q4 2008.

Atop the mobile business Nokia is still the leader with 37.3% market share. Samsung follows with 20.7% while LG is far behind on third position with 10.9%. Sony Ericsson and Motorola have swapped places with Moto closing the top five at 4.7% market share. Sony Ericsson is probably going to lose fourth place soon as it only surpassed Motorola by 0.2% which translates into 0.5 million units. Do you think Verizon can sell that many Droids in the following months?

AT&T is a serious company and it will not stand being made fun of. Sure in this case being made fun of means actually losing a few million dollars. AT&T has filed a suit in San Francisco against LG, Samsung, Chunghua, AU Optronics and others claiming that they all conspired in order to raise cell phone LCD prices exactly when the carrier purchased 300 million handsets. That’s surely not nice and if AT&T were to win, we can expect the defendants to pay a lot of cash to the carrier. After all, it’s not the first time LCD price-fixers would pay for their wrong doings!

There’s a new watchphone in town and it’s not coming from LG. Made by Kempler & Strauss, the W PhoneWatch is even smaller than LG’s GD910 watchphone.

The device comes with a touchscreen interface, 4GB of storage space, microSD support, music and video players, camera with video recording, Bluetooth support and quad-band GSM. The PhoneWatch is available for $199 without a contract. That’s certainly a great price for an entry-level watchphone.

LG working together with a wireless testing firm called Anite has completed the first LTE conformance test of LTE phones with both older networks and new LTE networks. The test is pretty important since it assesses how new handsets will handle in actual conditions where an user will be able to use both LTE and 3G services with a single LTE device. The testing also confirms that future LTE devices will work well with “older” 3G networks whenever LTE connectivity is not available. Now we’d just love to see some of those LTE devices out in the open. After all, they will work well on current 3G networks too! Right LG and Anite?

Did you like LG’s first Lotus phone? In case you did, then you’ll be happy to know there’s a new LG Lotus 2 in the works. The phone is rumored to sport a touchscreen display and could be available from Sprint stores in January 2010. We have no specs for now and no pricing information but we’ll be back as soon as LG starts leaking info about the handset. Curiously enough the phone hasn’t been mentioned in that roadmap that leaked earlier this week so you could end up waiting a while until you get your Lotus 2. But then again, if you didn’t like the Lotus in the first place then maybe the Lotus 2 is not for you.

We’ve been waiting for a few months now to see LG’s Android phone, the GW620, become official. Although no North American carrier will launch the GW620 is supposed to officially debut in Europe by the end of the year. And it looks like it has already been spotted on French territory and captured on video. The phone will offer you a 3-inch resistive touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and a 3.5mm headphone jack. And if Motorola has MOTOBLUR on top of Android, LG made sure its proprietary S-Class UI will work well under Android conditions too. We don’t have pricing details just yet but at least we can see the LG GW620 in action.

This is perhaps the best way to sum up the new batch of mobile phones that LG Electronics has in store for all the mobile phone addicts. According to the LG 2010 Q1 roadmap, the company is set to unveil phones that come with names somewhat similar to their celebrated LG Chocolate. Among the new phones set to be released include:

• LG Wine2
• LG Wine Junior
• LG Stage
• LG Mini
• LG Goya
• LG Sweet
• LG Cookie2
• LG GX200

Some may be sequels such as the LG Wine2, LG Wine Junior, LG Sweet and the LG Cookie2 which may showcase a new design or better camera. The LG Stage looks like it will pick up from the LG Arena. The rest seem to be new phones to be set out in the market, referring to the LG Goya and LG Mini. Finally, the LG GX200 is a 2 SIM card handybar which may be simple and cheap for the mobile market.

Hopefully we can get more features in the coming months.

Still heady from the Cookie’s 7-million run, LG seems to have learned that another mid-range touchscreen device is just another way to make more headway in the market.  Enter GD510 Pop, a new touchscreen device that wraps a sleek brushed aluminum case around a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, a 3mpx camera, 8GB of internal memory, and a solitary multipurpose button.  There is no indication whether this will get the same widget-based Flash UI as the Cookie, but with a release slated for mid-October in the European continent, we will not have to wait long to find that out and other details like its pricing.
