Boy Genius posted an image of this new LG GD900 Phone previewed at Mobile World Congress that appears to be a slider with a chic-looking transparent keypad. Nice.
It appears that Motorola is getting ready to add the QA30 to their Q-Series lineup complete with a sliding QWERTY keypad. It isn’t a smartphone and the specs (CDMA, 1x-EVDO connectivity, 2.5 inch TFT, Full HTML browser, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth, MicroSD / MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB) aren’t going to wow anyone, but it might be a decent option for Alltel customers looking for a cheap QWERTY. That is, of course, if you can get past the wonky looking design.
Samsung is still supporting another, non-Google open operating system for mobiles, showing off a couple of Symbian-based smartphones at a recent event in London. The Samsung I7110 doubles as a phone and a navigation device, while the Samsung L870 is being marketed as a fashion slider.
LG is claiming that its upcoming slider, the KC780, will be the world’s thinnest 8 megapixel camera phone, according to GSM Arena. If that’s true, the phone will wrestle the title from the Samsung Pixon, which measures in at a super slim 13.8mm. Besides the 8MP camera, the KC780 is also expected to have a TFT display with limited touchscreen, 30fps video recording, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 140MB of on-board memory and a microSD slot for more, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0.
