HTC has officially announced a new communicator, which popped up in news under the codename Pharos – it’s HTC P3470. Taking into account its specs, we see an entry level device lacking the support of both 3G and Wi-Fi, but carrying a GPS-receiver onboard.

LG-KT610 – a flip-screen clamshell with VGA display    [ 11-02-2008 18:20 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja    Send news to friend  Discuss in forum

We’ve already mentioned a mysterious smartphone briefly announced as “a unique 2.4 flip screen candy bar with the QWERTY-keyboard”. The company hasn’t provided the images of LG-KT610 right from the start. However some sources managed to get and post “live” pics of the phone after the demo at Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona. The device turns to be packed in the form-factor similar to Nokia E90: a landscape-oriented clamshell with a pair of displays and keyboards. There is a small display and a numeric keypad outside, and a larger display with a QWERTY-keyboard inside. Currently we’ve got little info about it: S60 3rd Edition FP1 powered, GPS-enabled and with 3G support (HSDPA included).
