14 DAY TRIAL // Korean company LG Electronics and the Redmond software giant Microsoft announced in February at the Mobile World Congress that the mobile phone maker would come to the market with an entire series of smartphones running under the Windows Mobile operating system, and it seems that the first steps in that direction have already been made.
Currently, there are only three mobile phones coming from LG with the Windows Mobile platform, namely the LG KS20, the LG Incite (for AT&T), and the LG GM730, which hasn't been yet released. In addition, it seems that a fourth handset could be the newly spotted LG GW610, which has been discovered thanks to a Wi-Fi Interoperability Certificate.
The new LG GW610 is one of the ten new smartphones LG intends to release to the market by the end of 2009, and it seems that the handset sports a square display, able to provide a 320 x 320 pixel resolution, as well as a 2-megapixel photo snapper and UMTS connectivity, along with GPRS, while HSDPA might be an option too.
There aren’t too many details on the LG GW610 device at the moment, yet it should include Internet browsing capabilities, MMS, Java support, image viewer, video player, music player, and most likely Wi-Fi connectivity, not to mention the features that are available with other WinMo-powered handsets, especially those to come with future releases of the platform.
It seems that there are no images with the device for the time being, and info regarding a possible launch date or the markets in which is should become available lacks as well. Hopefully, the phone maker will announce the new LG GW610 in the near future, and more details on the handset will become available then, so stay tuned.
