LG's KS20
As expected, today during its IFA press conference, LG officially unveiled the LG KS20, LG's brand now Prada look-alike Windows Mobile 6 Professional HSDPA smartphone with a large color touchscreen. Its super-fast network access capabilities and intuitive touch input technology combine to enrich the mobile internet experience for users. It features full internet browsing capabilities and downloads everything from music and video clips to push E-Mail at speed of 3.6 Mbps through HSDPA. It also allows for advanced features like videoconferencing, taking advantage of the phone's dual cameras.
As expected, the handset is powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 Professional and measures 99.5 x 58 x 12.8 mm at 95 g. The KS20 supports triband (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as singleband UMTS and HSDPA up to 3.6 Mbps. Furthermore it supports Bluetooth 2.0 but WiFi support is left. The QVGA display measures 2.8" and supports the Windows Mobile typical 65k colors only. The 2 megapixel autofocus CMOS is located on the back, on the front the device features a VGA camera for UMTS video telephony. Photos and videos can be stored on 128 MB ROM which can be extended through microSD memory cards.
Mobile Phones
LG has launched its first Windows Mobile 6 phone and if it was a cake, all the fat people would be queueing up around the block to get their hands on not just one, but a whole box. Arms would flail, rolls of gadget-obsessed fat would bounce around and almost everyone would come away injured. And hungry. But LG won't care because it'll be too busy telling the world about this Prada-esque beaut -- the KS20.
