The LG GT540 Mobile Phone’s Android Operating System
The LG GT540 Mobile phone is LG’s latest phone based on an Android Operating system. The Android operating system runs on the Linux kernel and was initially developed by a small company called Android Inc. Android Inc was eventually bought out by Google when they saw the potential in the new OS. Phones operating on the android OS are capable of running multi-touch applications. Android Phones are also capable of running a vast amount of media content, such as MP3 player which sounds great on the LG GT540’s Dolby mobile player, In addition, this phone is also is capable of play MPEG-4 and DivX content, which work flawlessly thanks to the android operating system. This phone has tons of features that you will love. These features include: Android with Google Mobile Service, unified email manager, social networking manager and enhanced multimedia.
This phone is integrated with an amazing 3 megapixel camera, which can produce brilliant and colorful pictures that will certainly impress your friends, but that’s not all this camera has to offer, it also has face detection and face tagging capability, which is one of the latest technologies featured in the mobile phone cameras. In addition, you can share your content with your friends with the application called: Easy share with LG 3-way sync (provided your friends also have an LG GT540 mobile phone). The LG GT540 mobile phone also features custom theme and & active widget for customization. Another surprising feature on this mobile phone is that it does not have a corded keyboard, instead the typing and the navigation is all done through the touch screen, and it only has 2 touch control buttons on the bottom of the screen and a sound control buttons on the side and finally shortcuts buttons for the camera. This phone also has a few software applications that it’s integrated with. These software applications include: MSN messenger, Google talk, Google maps and Gmail mail checker.

New watchphone from LG comes in at a UK pricing
The new phone from LG, the watchphone is a brand new device which looks like something you would see in a James Bond movie. Combining a watch and a phone together into a device you wear round your wrist, the phone is not only stylish and looks cool; it performs really well and has top range features. Pricing at around £500, even people who are on a tight budget will be able to save for this phone, and you should be able to get it even cheaper if you take it out on a contract plan rather than a pay as you go tariff. The watch phone features voice recognition software, so you can really play the undercover part. Simply speak into the built in microphone, and the phone will pick up on a command you give to it. For instance if you say make a phone call, the phone will bring up a list of your contacts. Read out your contact name, and once your phone has confirmed the right person, it will call them without you having to press a button.
The new LG watchphone is said to be a great alternative to Bluetooth headset for people using cars, as having a head phone in your ear all the time can potentially allow you to miss vital sounds off the road. The watch phone is also 100% legal to use on the road, providing you do not hold it up to your ear, but the built in speakerphone should help you around that issue. As they are handmade, new batches of the phone are rare, but keep your eyes peeled for LG GD910 deals when they become available.

Will The LG GW990 Change the Handset Game?
There has been a lot of excitement surrounding the upcoming release of the LG GW990 mobile phone. Paul Otellini in his keynote speech at the CES demoed the phone for the first time publicly. Because the GW990 is one of the few unique offerings in the mobile phone market there has been a lot of excitement concerning it. The LG GW990 will use the Linux Based Moblin 2.1 operating system based on the Intel Moorsetown platform. This particular handset has been classified as a mobile Internet device (MID).
This is not the first time a phone of this sort has been considered. Different companies have played with the concept but never developed a product for market. The GW990 will be the first phone of its type actually available for sale. The release date is scheduled to be sometime during the third and fourth quarter of 2010.
One of the best features of the GW990 is its full touchscreen. It is a whopping 4.8 inches and has a 1024 x 480 resolution. The aspect ratio is 2.13:1 and the handset provides support for the LTE 4G Tech, which makes the GW990 have an elongated form similar to that used by the earlier LG Chocolate phones. The amount of memory that comes standard with the phone is pretty impressive, at 16 GB. Individuals who require more will be able to add memory via the phone’s microSD card slot.
The GW990 is being advertised by LG as a combination between a handset and a PC. Though it is obviously not a PC, it can perform in similar manners and is quite powerful or a mobile phone. Individuals interested in purchasing the LG GW990 will be able to do so sometime later this year. It has not yet been priced by LG but that information should be forthcoming, probably closer to the phone’s actual release date.

LG GM750 Brings More of Windows Mobile 6.5
Microsoft’s launching of mobile phones using the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional brings together an assortment of mobile devices, some are impressive and some others are not much. The LG GM750 stands as a pretty good device, but still unimpressive when compared to other devices.
LG’s GM750 stands as the second coming of the old GM730 -with a few minor hardware changes and the fact that the GM750 uses Windows Mobile 6.5 instead of 6.1. It is an interesting note however, that the 6.1 OS on the GM730 can be upgraded to version 6.5 as well.
Windows Mobile version 6.5 marks the debut of the Marketplace (the Windows Mobile applications store). The app store has long been wished for by Windows Mobile users as it would extend the functionality of any device.
Where to Get
LG GM750 deals are available at Vodafone, as they are the first company to release the LG GM750 in the UK. The device is available for free on several plans. Until Decemeber, Vodafone will be the only carrier to offer contracts for the GM750.
Specifications of the Phone
GM750 brings more than just Windows Mobile, it also uses the LG S-Class user interface. While the S-Class is not as impressive as the HTC Sense, the S-Class is still leagues better than the standard Windows Mobile interface.
The touch screen phone is responsive and navigating the S-class feels smooth. The 240 x 400 pixel resolution is perfect for watching videos on the go –though you would prefer to hold the device in your hand instead of mounting it as you would with devices with much larger screens. The lack of a physical keyboard also makes some tasks harder, such as typing in the Office for Mobile.
LG GM750 reviews often note the nice features being offered by Windows Mobile. The Office for Mobile, Windows Media Player 10 and other windows applications are very useful. Even if the actual Windows interface is not so well designed, the functions that Windows Mobile brings are really extensive.

Chocolate Specs
The BL20 new Chocolate phone is not just a way to redeem the flaws of the old Chocolate Touch, but also a new device for LG to show that they mean serious business in establishing their products; and aesthetics are not their only concern. The impressive looks of the device does completely overshadows the hardware and features of the phone, but that does not mean that the device is unimpressive.
The BL20 sports a 2.4 inch screen with a 240 x 320 resolution. It also has powerful 5 mega pixel camera that you can use to take high resolution images. As a 3G device, the BL20 connects to GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA, a perfect complement to some of the web widgets on the device.

Before the year ends, the world will get a taste of the much awaited LG Chocolate – the BL40. From LG’s official launch photos and advertising videos on the net, the new chocolate is not only a stunning multimedia phone but a sexy fashion accessory as well. Move over Prada and Dolce, no amount of 24k gold trimming will make this phone any more sexier or exclusive than it already is.
A Landmark Fashion Phone

It stunning looks is its net advantage, sporting a slim profile that’s accentuated by a long and narrow body that makes it’s a sexy head turner from any angle. Tuned off, you could indeed mistake this for a Hershey chocolate bar. But when turned on, you get flagship-grade smartphone features housed on a slim and elegant black body that is sure to take the fashion market by storm once this is released.
Its 4” touchscreen sports true VGA high definition display at 800 x 345 resolution. With its 21:9 aspect ratio, cinema-like viewing adds to its multimedia experience.
