MWC 2009: New LG phones


As usual LG is one of the presenting brands at the MWC. Besides their eye catcher the KM900 Arena LG presented many other devices and more. Some of the devices are running under Windows Mobile as the GM730, or Symbian as the KT77, or their own OS.

Most of our attention went to the eye catcher; the KM900 Arena. What is in particular interesting is the way you handle the Arena, thanks to the S-class interface. But other devices, the GM730 and the KT770, also have this new interface. The striking thing is that the GM730 is running under Windows Mobile, but the KT770 is running under Symbian.

Users do not have to use the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but can work with the new S-Class user interface. This should enable users to start applications very easily and also enable them to switch between applications. There are multiple home-screens and it is easy to switch between them because of the cube that is shown.

The GM730 is a candybar with a large 3.0 inch touchscreen and a WQVGA resolution; 400 x 272 pixels. The device also has a 5.0 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens. A-GPS, WiFi and of course Bluetooth aren't missing.

LG KT770

The KT770 is also one of the new phones of this week. A quadband 3.5G slider device with Symbian S60 Third Edition.

But do not expect a touchscreen. LG has chosen for a 2.8 inch WQVGA display. But the device does has WiFi, A-GPS, Bluetooth and a 5.0 megapixel camera with facial recognition, Smile Shot and panorama shot. This device should definitely attract Facebook users; the mobile application is pre-installed.

LG KB770

LG has also announced a new device on which you can watch television. This triband device has a pretty big 3.0 inch WQVGA resolution touchscreen. And when there is no interesting television program to watch there is always YouTube; thanks to the HSDPA 3.5G technique you can watch videos very easily that load very quickly. Moreover, the KB770 has a 3.0 megapixel camera and the memory can be extended with a MicroSD memory card till a maximum of 4GB.

LG GD900

The GD900 is probably the most striking device at the MWC. This device is a slider and has a unique trasparent keypad. This device seems to be an idea that LG wants to develop further, because there was no real functioning model of the device. We also still do not know any of the specifications. However, the idea is interesting and we are looking forward to hear more about this device.

LG KC910i

LG has also improved the KC910 and called it the KC910i. We already knew the KC910 Renoir, but the extra "i" is new. The KC910i is an update version of the Renoir, but the specs and features aren't that different. The colour is; the 'new' Renoir is totally black and the lens cover isn't mechanical anymore, but can be removed automatically whenever necessarily.
