LG Loves Windows, Proves it with GM730.

This is big MWC news, LG have firmly planted their feet in the Windows Mobile camp, telling the world it will be their OS of choice and they will be releasing a total of 50 phones running the Microsoft operating system before 2012, which for you maths fans out there, is 1.5 phones per month starting from March!
One of the first to feature both WinMo and their new S-Class user-interface will be the GM730, a tablet-style touchscreen phone which bears more than a passing resemblance to another touchscreen phone which has proven rather popular. This becomes even more apparent when you examine the S-Class UI, as seen recently on the LG Arena, which uses large icons as short cuts, plus a ‘cube’ effect accessed by a swipe of the finger.

The LG GM730 will use the brand new Windows Mobile 6.5 complete with IE6 and feature, 3G with HSDPA support, a 5 megapixel camera and the latest version 2.1 of Bluetooth, plus the touchscreen is a 3″ WQVGA item. LG have also mentioned something called Chat on the Map, a location-based social network for SMS, email and chat. We are expecting the launch of the GM730 to come before summer this year.

LG Hero KU580

LG are launching yet another phone with a snappy name that doesn’t really fit with an electrical product… but still sounds pretty cool. Welcome to the LG Hero!

Actually there’s a bit of confusion as to its name, some people are describing it as another follow up to the Chocolate, bearing as it does more than a passing resemblence to the latter with its red touch-sensitive navigational backlights (see pictures below), but the Hero it is, and the KU580 to give it its full model number.

The most notable feature is the landscape screen, that makes it look a bit like a smartphone, but other than being 3G it’s pretty much on a par with the LG Chocolate Platinum or the LG Shine. It has a 240 x 320 pixel display with 256K colours, a 2 megapixel camera with a VGA for video calling, a web browser, FM radio and an MP3 player.

On first glance you have to say it looks like it could do with losing a bit of weight, but you’d be wrong! It’s actually extraordinarily light - a mere 73 grams, that’s 40% lighter than the Shine!

Just one thing, is it me, or is it a slightly fatter version of the Samsung U600? Either way they’re both pretty good looking phones.

No information yet on release dates or price, but we’ll keep you updated when we know.
