The long list of smartphones running the Google Android platform is growing and LG has added one of its devices to the list with the unveiling of the LG GW620. This announcement comes only days after LG promised 13 new smartphones over the next 16 months to be released with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.
The LG GW620 sports a three inch HVGA touchscreen with sliding QWERTY keyboard for the full smartphone feel. Multimedia features such as a five megapixel camera, full WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and built-in Google services add to the allure of this UMTS/HSDPA device.
The LG-GW620 will appeal to first-time smartphone customers by offering a new and different kind of user experience. Our objective is to provide a wide selection of smartphones to satisfy the diverse preferences of today’s consumers. This Android phone is just one of many smartphone models we plan to introduce worldwide in the years ahead. – Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company
LG expects to start shipping the GW620 during Q4 2009 in select European markets; pricing details have yet to be released.
