You've got the HTC Snap and the Samsung Jack, and it looks like LG is following in their footsteps by introducing the GW550. The GW550 is another front-facing keyboard, 2.4-inch QVGA, Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard phone. Just when you thought WM Standard was on its last leg, devices running the standard OS seem to be coming out of the woodwork. The GW550 also sports a 3 megapixel...

The GM730 will launch in Asian markets in July.Press release (translated) via Unwired...
OK, it's been a couple of hours, so it's time for another AT&T Windows Mobile leak from Engadget. Now we've got a lower-end messenger, the LG HQ, which we got a look at back at Mobile World Congress.There's the usual tri-band 3G and quad-band EDGE, Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard with a 2.4-inch 320x240 screen. The battery's a mere 1,100 mAh powering a Qualcomm 7225 processor. It's got...
It's still kind of a mystery as to what future phones will launch with Windows Mobile 6.5, and which current ones will be upgraded. We already know that the HTC Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 should get it, and we're pretty sure the Toshiba TG01 will. And now a blog from the Microsoft MVP community is adding to that list. Nuno Luz, aka The Windows Phone Guy, says the LG HQ and Eigen...
Along with the announcement of Windows Mobile 6.5, one of the other big news stories at Mobile World Congress earlier this year was the announcement of LG's partnership with Microsoft – and that it planned 26 new Windows Phones in 2012.Might this be one of them? Mobile-Review (the same site that brought us the excellent Touch Pro 2 review) brings news the LG GT810H. And here are the...
We're expecting a bevy of Windows Mobile-powered phones to come from LG in the next few years – like, 50 or so – and it looks like one has made an appearance at the WI-Fi Alliance.Cellpassion [via PhoneArena] says the GW610 will be a Windows phone and sport a 2.0-megapixel camera. Other than that, no details. But we're certainly looking for more from LG soon.
One of the surprise announcements from the 2009 Mobile World Congress was LG's partnership with Microsoft. The electronics manufacturer pledged to make Windows Mobile its primary operating system for smartphones. LG also pledged to develop 50 phones over the the next few years, all running Windows Mobile. While our curiosity awaits what new designs LG has in store for Windows Mobile...
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer invited LG exec Skott Ahn up on stage at Mobile World Congress. The two ripped through a couple of showtunes, and then Ahn dropped the bomb — LG's making Windows Mobile it's primary smartphone operating system for the foreseeable future. We're talking dozens (like, 50 or so) phones over the next three years. They two companies will have joint marketing...
Engadget told us it was coming, AT&T tells us that, yes, it's here. Don't tell Malatesta, but we've got another basic slab phone on the block: the LG Incite. We've seen non-US WM phones from LG before, so we'll be interested to see how they build one up for the States. Here's how: 4.21 x 2.2 x 0.55 inches 256 mb ROM / 128 RAM / MicroSD Tri-Band 3G, Quad-Band EDGE GPS...
Yep, somehow this one got by us earlier. LG has a WiMAX version of the KS20, which is the Windows Mobile version of the Prada phone. Got that? Good, let's move on. Let's start with the WiMax. It runs on Clearwire (they who recently broke up with Sprint) but is only tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900), so it'll need a revamp before it will work in the US. It feels just as sexy as the HTC...
When we speculated that the new Broadcom/Micosoft Design center built at LG's behest meant we've have the Prada phone running Windows Mobile, we figured it would be a long time before there was confirmation. Like, a week. Or not - because two days later LG has unveiled the KS20 -- announcing availability in Europe by the end of the year. Pah - snooty Europeans getting their fashion...
