The latest creations from LG, Cookie Plus or LG GS500 and the smaller version Cookie Fresh, also known as LG GS290, will be launched in Europe this March, reaching the number of 50 countries all over the world.

With more or less the same specifications, the Cookie Plus also include a 3 Megapixel photocamera with autofocus, a very simple MP3 player, a 3.5mm Jack, email push, bluetooth and others. The Cookie Fresh has a 2 Megapixel photocamera, radio FM and the possibility of registering audio and video files, and it’ll come in 10 different colors.

During a meeting with Aaron Woodman from Microsoft, some bloggers managed to have a look at the prototype of the first smartphone that will use Windows Phone 7 series. It’s an LG-manufactured device with complete QWERTY keyboard and a 5 Megapixel photocamera.

Unfortunately for now there’s no way of making any further comments on the new version of Microsoft’s mobile OS. We’ll leave you to the video. Enjoy!

During last week’s announcement during the MWC 2010, when Steve Ballmer officially presented the Windows Phone 7 Series platform, he also said that the first Windows Phone 7 series phone will be available by Christmas this year.

Apparently, the first device featuring Microsoft’s new mobile platform could indeed be launched in September this year, according to an information obtained by Engadget China, from someone inside the LG Mobile in Hong Kong. This rumor would actually match the one that claimed that LG would be launching a Windows Phone 7 Series mobile called Apollo.

We’ll have to wait and see.

The Canadian carrier Roger is going to be the first to present the new LG Eve to the market, a new Android-based smartphone that integrates Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

The Eve features a 5 megapixel photocamera with LED flash, and a 3″ touchscreen display. Also present is the facial recognition technology. The QWERTY keyboard features 5 rows and it’s ideal to write emails, SMS and text. The phone also features Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR and USB 2.0.

After having seen the first images last month, now the LG Mini GD880 was officially announced by LG. The device is a smartphone with a 3.2″ touchscreen display, a 5 Megapixel photocamera and a sensor that identifies the faces when taking a picture.

It supports HSDPA protocol up to 7.2 Mbps and also featured are the Wi-Fi, Radio FM, A-GPS, 100MB internal memory expandable with microSD cards and direct access to the main social networks. The price should be around €350 and it will be available from March on.

As it commonly happens on the mobile phone world, the LG GW620, the first LG model featuring Android, changes name. It’s now called LG InTouch Max GW620 and it was launched last Tuesday in England, opening the official launch in Europe. The technical specifications are also available, including a physical QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen display and Linkbook, an application that puts all social networks together.

As for the rest of software specifications, the phone features a automatic tag on pictures and the Face-to-Action that allows users to contact their friends (through call, SMS, MMS or social network message) by simply touching their face in a picture. The hardware also has a 5 Megapixel photocamera, 3″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 480×320 pixels, HSDPA connectivity, microSD support, 3.5mm jack, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 1500 mAh battery.

LG takes the opportunity at the CES 2010 to present a new Android-based smartphone, the LG GT540 Swift. It’s the third generation of Android smartphones from LG that will also be shown at the Mobile World Congress.

For now it’s known that the GT540 Swift has a 3 Megapixel photocamera, a touchscreen display, Android 1.5 with a few modifications to the icons, typical of the LG phones. The device will also be compatible with DivX and WMV movie files, it’ll allow users to change the song by shaking the phone and the internal memory will be expandable to 32 GB with microSDHC cards. As the video above shows, the design is compact and rather pleasant to the eyes.

The LG GT540 Swift will be available from April on, but we’ll probably know more around February.

How does it feel like having a cellphone with a 4.8″ panoramic display? Some say it’s like having some sort of tablet, and that’s probably how it’ll feel like after seeing the new LG GW990 video that the guys from Engagdget have released, directly from the CES in Las Vegas.

We’ll briefly mention its main technical specifications again: a 4.8″ display, 5 Megapixel photocamera, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi support and integrated A-GPS. The price and availability haven’t yet been announced.

After officially announcing the GT540 model, LG has taken the opportunity at the CES in Las Vegas to show the GW990, a new smartphone featuring Android. Following the widescreen models as they have shown with the BL40, the new device has a 4.8″ display, in fact.

The photocamera has the resolution of 5 Megapixels and records HD videos. Also present are the HSDPA connection, the WiFi, A-GPS and a 1850 mAh battery. Price and availability haven’t been announced yet.

LG seems to be hooked on one thing that has been hooking many cellphone companies lately: Android. The OS is definitely overwhelming the mobile telephony market thanks to its versatility and the freedom that it gives to the manufacturers to create applications and change the interface.

In LG’s case, they’ve launched their first Android device a few months ago, the LG GW620 and now there are rumors of a second device with Android and a hardware “surprise”. This new device, still without a name, will be first available for the Korean market, and then later on distributed in the rest of the world.

The big surprise on this device, that is rumored to be launched around the second quarter of 2010, is a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1GHz. The device might also allow users to watch TV from their phone.
