LG KS20 Preview
Coming
soon 31st August 2007
We don't know all the technical specifications
of the new LG KS20 at the time of going to press,
but we do know enough to be sure that this is an interesting
and intriguing handset.
A
couple of things are immediately obvious - the LG KS20
is a touchscreen phone running Windows Mobile (in this
case it's version 6 of the operating system). Look more
closely and you can see that this is a 3G phone with
WiFi, Bluetooth, plus a two megapixel camera with flash
on the back. The LG KS20 also has microSD expandable
memory.
In fact, the KS20 isn't just a 3G phone,
it's a 3.5G HSDPA device. With the large touchscreen
(we understand it's a 2.8" panel), the LG KS20
is going to be competing with the upcoming European
version of the Apple iPhone,
and ironically the new LG
KU990 "Viewty" touchscreen phone.
It looks like a 240 x 320 pixel display,
and the rumour is that the LG KS20 is 12.8mm thick which
would make the handset around 92 x 55mm when viewed
from the front. One slightly strange feature is the
large expanse of plastic that appears to be underneath
the screen.
We expect to see the LG KS20 in the
shops by Christmas, although pricing and availability
are not known at present.
