One of the unique things about the 2009 Mobile World Congress is that four major manufacturers all announced at least one S60-powered smartphone, in one form or another. We have the Idou concept from Sony Ericsson, which will be their first S60-powered device (they previously only used UIQ), the OmniaHD (i8910) from Samsung, the LG [...]
Being that I’m the ‘at-home correspondent’ for MobileBurn.com again this year, I sent Michael over to the LG booth at the 2009 Mobile World Congress to check out the LG KT770 that they’re hiding over there. Not only was Michael able to get some great hands-on photographs, he also put together a quick video, running [...]
As usual, LG also has a new S60-powered smartphone, but they don’t seem to be too proud of it, as it wasn’t included in their press event at the Mobile World Congress yesterday, and was hidden in the ‘Others’ section of their official MWC press pages. We also got some information from AllAboutSymbian, with Rafe [...]
In yet another sign that Samsung is beginning to take its S60 license a bit more seriously, the team at AllAboutSymbian have found a dedicated forum, hosted by Samsung. Samsung’s looking to hear from its S60 users on what applications have compatibility issues with its phones, so that they can help get that sorted out. [...]
We’ve taken a look at the LG KT610 in terms of gaming, hardware, imaging, and music. This diminutive handset slips easily into your pocket, yet flips open to reveal a nicely laid out QWERTY keyboard. How does it hold up? Sadly, unless you’re an S60 lover looking for a killer IM/email handset and not much [...]
Thus far we’ve checked out the hardware, music, and gaming aspects of the LG KT610, but that’s not all there is to this handset. The LG KT610 sports a lowly 2 megapixel camera, without such niceties as autofocus or even a small LED flash. However, this seems to be the bog standard these days, at [...]
After taking a look at the music and hardware, one thing I noticed is that the form factor of the LG KT610 really lends itself to gaming. The landscape orientation of the internal display and keyboard layout make it easy to hold the handset as you would a portable gaming console such as the Nintendo [...]
I’ve already taken a look at how well the LG KT610 handles music, but now I want to focus on the hardware. The early hands-on reports from the Mobile World Congress 2008, where the phone was announced, were of poor build quality and cheap materials. However, those were with a pre-production unit, so it’s important [...]
Despite the current issues I’m having with my SIM card and the LG KT610, I’m pressing on to review the rest of the handset, starting with the music capabilities. If you’ll recall, the LG KT610 features stereo speakers and a microSD card slot. Unfortunately, those are the only music-related niceties that are available. The headset [...]
