LG Tritan users can enjoy 3 mega-pixel camera, a 3" full touch-screen, and 3G network speed in one smooth wireless handset. The LG Tritan is ideal for customers wanting the flexibility of an innovative touch-screen interface combined with a full QWERTY keyboard. The 3" touch-screen has a full internet browser and easy-to-dial virtual keypad with voice recognition plus voice-activated dialing. Configured as a side slide QWERTY, LG Tritan fits nicely in the palm of the hand, allowing customers to utilize the handset's picture, text, and video messaging capacities.

June is a hot month in the mobile business. Following the iPhone and Pre announcements we have Samsung, Nokia, RIM and LG responding with similar handsets meant to try to keep up with the competition.

We've seen the Nokia E72 getting official and we've seen five new phones coming from Samsung. It's time to take a look at LG's Aigen LG-GM730. The phone is now available in Korea but there's no price for it. Getting passed that odd fact you could like some of its features. The LG-GM730 will offer you a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, WiFi, AGPS, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 5-megapixel camera, FM radio, and Windows Mobile 6.1 with S-Class 3D UI. The phone is just 11.9mm thick and it will be available in black, pink and lime. Anyone interested in it?

LG has recently come forth and announced their latest smartphone, the GM550 (pictured above).

This phone has pretty much everything you would expect from a modern smartphone: Windows Mobile 6.1, full QWERTY keyboard, 3MP camera, 2.4-inch display, 7.2Mbps HSDPA and a 1300 mAh battery.

Unfortunately there is no word on pricing or availability but even if it hits overseas first its "global 3G" will give US users the ability to use it on virtually any carrier they choose.

With the LG Glance, it seems you either love or hate the gold toned woven metal design on the back, however it is generally agreed upon that the front is attractive and functional. The buttons are big and tactile, and for an entry-level phone, the QVGA (240 x 320) screen is pleasing. This phone is also amazingly thin at .38 inches. A noted difference between this and other candy bar style phones, is the placement of the clear button- it's in the center, directly under the joystick.

Since this is an entry-level phone, there aren't as many fancy Verizon gizmos to play with as found on higher-end LG phones, however it does feature Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, WAP 2.0 browser, microSD slot and a decent 1.3 megapixel camera with digital zoom. The current price of this handset is $49.99 after rebates and a 2-year contract.

LG's Cookie phone has been sold in large numbers so far so it's not surprising that LG wants to sell even more. In order to do that, LG has created a CDMA version of the Cookie, the KX500 which is made for the Asian market. The phone will have support for CDMA2000 1x connectivity besides the usual features that are already available for the Cookie. The phone will sell for $276 in the Asia-Pacific region but it might cost even less should you get it from a carrier with a new contract. The CDMA Cookie is compatible with Sprint and Verizon's networks so bringing the CDMA version LG Cookie to the USA seems quite possible and I bet some people are already anxious about it.

Last week, the GC900, which we have now come to call as the LG Viewty Smart, made an appearance on the LG blog, which was later taken down. This time around, we bring you news straight from the horse's mouth and have one more detail to add: a release date. According to the press release by LG recently, the 8mpx Viewty Smart cameraphone will start appearing through "operators in Europe" this May, but the article did not mention a price, so may be it's up to the operators now to come out with their subsidized prices. In the meantime, enjoy a few beauty shots of the LG Viewty Smart on us after the break...

And Smart it is, with its ultra-sleek looks and power-packed features. LG has now fessed up and announced the GC900, which we knew better as the Viewty II, and will be called the LG Smart hereon. We pretty much knew all its ins and outs but in case you missed some, here are its major features all crammed into a thickness of 12.4 mm:

• HSDPA network support


• WiFi


• 3-inch TFT touchscreen display


• 8-megapixel camera with video capture at 720x480 resolution


• aGPS with Geotagging


• S-Class 3D UI


• Weight: 90g

With a name like Lollipop, it's pretty obvious which segment of the moblie phone users LG is targeting, but the LG Lollipop, which comes in three models of SV800, KH8000, and LH8000, is no kid when it comes to specs. The clamshell is fully capable of handling HSDPA and can make video calls with a 1.3 megapixel camera on the inside just for those occasions. There is also a 3-megapixel camera on the outside to capture those funny moments and microSD support to house that ever-growing folder of pictures and videos. Measuring a thin 106.5 x 51.5 x 13.4 mm, the Lollipop also has an expansive 2.8 inch TFT display and a media player to while away those times of boredom in class.

The LG Lollipop will start selling this month in South Korea and will be available from all major Korean carriers in enticing colors of Cutie Pink, Boyish Titanium, and Aqua Blue at an undisclosed price.

The LG Arena, that flagship phone we've seen launched a while ago, has cleared through the FCC. More than one million units have been pre-ordered already in Europe and Asia while the North American market has been left wanting. The KM900 didn't have any support for that North American HSPA but luckily all that has been changed. According to the FCC, the KM900QA will be ready to suit the needs of U.S. customers, having support for 850 and 1900 MHz HSPA bands. So are you going to order an Arena soon? Anxious of playing with that new S-Class 3D interface?

via FCC

With preorders already crossing the 1 million mark, LG's Arena could already be termed as a success in the footsteps of other LG superstars like the Chocolate and the Shine. The KM900 was first spotted at MWC 2009 and the Korean manufacturer seems to have lost no time in releasing it barely a month after its first appearance. It's the Europeans this time around who have the first chance to experience its expansive 3.0 WVGA touchscreen display that can handle DivX videos with aplomb, the cool 3D S-Class user interface, 8GB of internal memory with further expansion up to 40GB via microSD, its auto/manual focus 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and watch their favorite online videos at 3G speeds or on a WiFi connection.

The LG Arena is available now across major European markets at an undisclosed price in choices of silver and black titanium colors.

The slider in the picture is LG's Rumor 2 which looks like it's ready to arrive from Sprint. The leaked image above looks clearer than regular leaked images and it shows a clear Sprint logo on it which may have been very well pasted over the initial picture. We're still lacking the official specs but they should arrive shortly as Sprint intends to launch it this spring.

The GD900, which LG debuted at the GSMA World Congress, is billed as the world's first phone with a transparent design handset. Not everything on the slider handset is transparent (the mechanical components are the old-fashioned opaque variety) but the rear slider is translucent and the keypad gives off a glittering show. LG promises a Bluetooth headset is in the works which will match the clear design of the phone itself.

Technical details about the GD900 were sparse at the show, but LG promises it will bring out the specs for review later this year. In the meantime, the GD900 has a futuristic look that is bound to win some devotees early on. As more and more cell phone manufacturers compete to include new applications and electronic features, style and simplicity in the user interface tend to get overlooked. Often it is the simple but beautiful item that wins out in the end. Expect the LG GD900 clear handset phone to show up in stores sometime in the third quarter of 2009.

We've already told you how Microsoft and LG partnered up to offer more than 50 LG Windows phones by 2012. And LG decided to launch a smartphone to mark the special occasion. The LG-GM730 will be available in the first half of the year and it will run Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition for starters. The phone will also be able to run on Windows Mobile 6.5 in the second part of the year. The GM730 will get a new S-Class 3D user interface which we've already seen in the Arena and it will have Internet Explorer Mobile 6.0 installed. We still lack all the details of this LG smartphone but we're expecting to get them soon enough.

Here's a phone you might consider buying from AT&T in the near future. The LG Neon seems specifically designed for the heavy texter you. It has a QWERTY slider ready to be used and a 2.4-inch touchscreen. We're might see it officially announced at MWC 2009. We're waiting for more specs and pricing details in the very near future.

LG Electronics has another phone in hiding and the said phone is the LG Arena KM900. This soon to be launched phone has a large touchscreen believed to be 240 x 400 resolution, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 5-megapixel camera with the ability to record HD video.

It also has an integrated GPS and an app for navigation, together with LG's new "innovative S-Class 3D" GUI that looks more than a little iPhone-esque. DivX playback is also rumored.

Looking for a new phone? Is it an LG? Is it a slider? I hope you answered yes to all those questions as I have a new LG for you. Well actually, AT&T is going to have a new LG slider for you. It's the CF360 phone is arriving at AT&T in the following days. It's an entry-level phone which lacks any impressive features. You should expect a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, music player, GPS with AT&T Navigator but that's about it. It should be cheap too, especially if you get it with a contract, so go stalk some AT&T store for more info about actual arrival date.

LG has a new phone in the works, the VX9600 or the Versa. We have no official details yet and therefore we have no idea when the phone is coming and how much it will cost.

One of the most obvious features of this phone is the detachable QWERTY keyboard module. Besides the detachable QWERTY keyboard we should expect a detachable gamepad, a pair of speakers and an Internet module with WiFi.

We've mentioned the LG-KC780 two times before: once when the first pictures surfaced, and twice when more details were found and the phone officially announced.

This will be the third time, and the purpose is to take note that the LG cellphone will soon become available on the UK market thanks to the popular mobile carrier Orange. In case you don't remember, the LG-KC780 features a 8-megapixel camera, USB 2.0 as the interface to transfer files using wires, or Bluetooth if you want to go wireless.

So, besides Orange which carrier do you think will be the next target for the LG-KC780?

The LG Incite is yet another smartphone that will compete against the iPhone. The handset will be available soon from AT&T and it will cost as much as the 8GB iPhone. That's $199 with a two year contract.

Here's what you can expect from the LG Incite:

• Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional


• GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA/WiFi


• GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz


• 106.7mm x 55.9mm x 15.2mm (4.2" x 2.2" x .6")


• 3 inch 262k color WQVGA (240x400 pixels) touchscreen TFT


• 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, microSD card slot


• 3megapixel


• Record/Playback


• POP3/IMAP/SMTP

So guys and gals what do you think? Is this LG a winner?
