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.

well I can certainly see why they launched it "quietly"

they were probably hoping no one would see it!

Why?


...well,it grew over me.i guess the front isn't as busy as most phones.it's 'conserved',the screen could be a bit bigger though.obviously the looks won't appeal to the mass,clearly.nor does it come near to the gorgeous looks of the mighty X1...fact is,i just like this LG,but wouldn't pay to own it
