New Entry-Level LG GM200 Surfaces

Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics has recently unveiled yet another new handset from its GM series, the LG GM200. The new device is the third to be included in the lineup lately, following the LG GM730, which came featuring Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system, and the GM310, which brought a sliding form factor.

The newly unveiled LG GM200 comes as a simple candybar mobile phone that packs Dolby Mobile technology, along with stereo speakers. The handsets also sports a nice range of multimedia features, such as music and video players, as well as a built-in FM antenna. In addition, it seems that the phone maker also added a background noise sensor, which is meant to automatically adjust the volume when it is necessary.

When it comes to the specifications list of the new mobile phone, we can count a 2-inch TFT display that is able to provide a 176 x 220 pixel resolution and support for 262K colors, as well as a 2-megapixel photo snapper that also sports video recording capabilities.

The LG GM200 candybar also features GSM/GPRS connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and 30MB of internal memory coupled with a microSD memory card slot to offer additional storage space for those who need it. The handset measures 106 x 48 x 14.7 mm and looks pretty nice, the same as most of LG's candybar mobile phones.

According to the news, the LG GM200 is expected to become available in May, and it should be released first in Ukraine, with a price tag set at 1,190 Ukrainian grivnas (around €110 or $148). For the time being there are no details regarding its availability on more European markets, but the company might launch it in other countries as well.
