LG to Release Their 1st Android Handset in UK    [ 18-01-2010 20:18 ]

There is an old saying 'better late than never', but in the case of the LG GW620 that doesn;t seem to hold up. The GW620 is LG's first entry into the UK Android amrket and to be frank it's unlikely to wow many people. The handset runs Android 1.5, has a resistive touchscreen and seems about a year behind the curve. Given how fast Android has been progressing and the current range of Android handsets, not to say anything of the upcoming range like Sony Ericsson's X10, the GW620, or InTouch Max to use its market name, is unliekly to be seen as anything other than an 'also ran'. Of course it's good to see LG releasing Android handsets, but apart from those who haven't got a clue about Android it's hard to see who this particular handset will appeal to. At any rate it should be available on T-Mobile and a contract of around £20/month will probably get you the device free.
