LG Touch Web Mobile Phone Has 3-inch 800 x 480 Screen, Full Browser
Posted by Haroon Malik at 8:32 PM on March 20, 2008
LG are sending some serious touchscreen love to South Korea, all in the form of the Touch Web mobile phone, a.k.a. LG-LH2300. The touchscreen wonder has a 3-inch display, with a staggering 800 x 480 resolution, as well as a 3MP camera with AF, MicroSD memory slot and a full internet browser, which has incorporated hot keys and a jog wheel for scrolling. The widescreen toting mobile phone is expected to retail for 700,000 KRW (US$693,) when it begins to ship this April. At present, the device is a South Korea exclusive and there is no word on a global release as yet, but honestly, we wouldn't hold our breath. [Aving]

So it's pretty much a Nokia N810 but with cell phone service and a better camera? Not a bad concept. Hope they make this thing prettier and have enough power to process things the N810 does like AJAX and Flash 9.

If this is the first of the Cylon models I'm holding out for six.

Not to mention a front facing camera. This phone isn't any EDGE phone. It has serious potential, and I'm glad. I own an iPhone, and I think this will only put more pressure on apple to come out with an even better product. Competition is good, and this phone seems like the first true competition with the iPhone for what it is. Too bad we aren't hearing of it coming state-side at all.

That webpage that is in the image has a pretty bad layout. At first, I thought the back cover was removed from the device, and we were looking at the battery label.

800x480 resolution? fuck!
crazy koreans, making all these cool cell phones that could probably kill the iPhone dead, and then not selling them stateside.
if the iPhone had 3G and an 800x480 screen, i'd stop the disrespect right now.

:-p~ I want bad. I don't know why I do this to myself. I won't be getting a new phone until November, But I love reading up on all this potential. I have a UTstarcom 3300 and I like it. But the screen is too small and the audio quality isn't what an Ipod is. Once I can get this 800-480 3 inch screen with good audio quality, and a PDA interface. I'm sold!

Given LG is a South Korean company, doesn't it sound strange to say they're "sending" something to South Korea?

If it had Video-out it would be close to the Nirvana Smartphone.
