Seoul-based phone maker LG has quietly shown the latest addition to its smartphone range - the LG-KT610, a clamshell handset with a 2.4in, 640 x 480 flip screen and Qwerty keypad.
Details on this handset have been sketchy, but we can say it runs on Symbian 9.2 and the S60 user interface. According to LG, the KT610's users can "take full advantage of a rich suite of multimedia features and applications".
It also offers tri-band GSM/GPRS/Edge and 3GB HSDPA connectivity at 3.6Mb/s, and there's also push email functionality as well as "working" and "socialising" features.
The KT610 closes to form a slimish candybar handset with a 1.45in, four-line dispay.
Details on availability and pricing are not yet available.

that look awful. like some sort of prototype they haven't yet finished
and why such a small screen? and why VGA in a 2.4" screen?
ugh!

When you've seen the X1 everything looks ugly
But truthfully that is disgusting

well I can certainly see why they launched it "quietly"
they were probably hoping no one would see it!

Absolutely, I can hardy believe they have announced a phone at WMC which looks that bad

For somebody who designed the Prada and chocolate, this is certainly worth puking on

LG loved making fashion phones. But today? Are they retarded or running out of idea?

@gola how this for cleanliness mate??
IMO LG did a really bad copy of the Toshiba G910..
Posted by fatreg
that's a brilliant attempt at smartphone...
the small screen on the front is to just quickly see if you have any texts, missed calls etc etc..... So you don't have to fully blown open it for no reason.
I like it

@deepsme
that looks even better,fantastic...
@fatreg
you just made my day

Perhaps LG may be on to something here... with a bigger "touch" screen and an OLED for the smaller one dual screens may be the way to go. Definitely needs a more appealing design though.

Hmm . . . Design = 0 but it gets a 10 for OS and another 10 for 640x480. Now the pressure is on Nokia and SAMSUNG to give us a S60 with 640x480 screen resolution. And yes the screen is rather small at 2.4in even if the cell is non touche. Trust me thou, there are some retarded companies out there which makes 'flagship' phones with that very same screen size
(minus the hi resolution, of course). Show them LG, show them. S60 is thightening its grip on the cell market with 3 out of 4 top manufacturers offering it
