LG is proud to announce that their GT500 handset has officially launched exclusively on T-Mobile UK.Sure, it’s no BL40 but the GT500 still packs a punch with its 3-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera with autofocus, image stabilization and digital zoom.

Additionally, the GT500 will feature high quality built-in Dolby 2.0 sound (but no 3.5mm headphone jack) and A-GPS. To remedy the fact that it has no headphone jack LG will ship compatible headphones in the box. Storage wise it will feature 130MB of internal storage with a micro SD slot for expansion.

No word on if we will ever see this device Stateside.

This might be just something else tossed at us from the rumor mill, but if we tell you that this little morsel of info was spotted coded onto LG’s own website, would that add some credibility to it? Well, may be it would.  The folks over at MobileSyrup did some diving on LG’s site and came across an xml document that is named “LG-GT500R-Rogers.xml,” which could  be a dead giveaway that the GT500R (R for Rogers?), which is scheduled for a T-Mobile opening this summer, will be hopping the Canadian boundary and end up with Rogers some time soon.  The specs may be a little bland for some, with its 5-megapixel camera, 3G support, GPS, and a 3-inch touchscreen display to name a few, but then, they aren’t such a big disappointment either.

Anybody care to wager who will get it first? Rogers or T-Mobile? Americans or Canadians?
