LG just announced one of its newest handsets to feature mobile TV capabilities, the LG HB620T, a device that will be released soon in several countries across Europe.

The new HB620T comes in a clamshell form factor and it features DVB-T compatibility. Unlike DVB-H, another mobile TV standard, DVB-T is available almost everywhere in Europe, hence LG will be able to launch the HB620T on more markets.

Among the other features of LG HB620T, we have: a 2 inch internal display with 240 x 320 pixels and 262K colors, HSDPA connectivity for data transfer speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, Bluetooh, email and Internet capabilities, Media player with lots of formats supported, dedicated TV keys, 60MB of internal memory and microSD card support.

All good, but isn't that display a little too small for properly viewing TV programs? I'm not saying it's a "bad" display, it's just that, if we compare it to the ones packed in other TV phones that have around 3 inches or even more, the 2-inch display of LG

HB620T doesn't seems like the best choice for watching TV while on the go.

LG HB620T will first be launched in Germany, via three of the country's major mobile operators: T-Mobile, Vodafone and O2. The phone's price and its exact release date were not announced yet, but we do know that, after becoming available in Germany, other countries will get the HB620T too.

We've spotted a video presentation of the new LG TV phone, so we present it to you below. The image quality of the programs viewed with the handset seems to be quite a good one, but, as I said, a bigger display would have made the device more attractive. Anyway, enjoy the (short) video:
