Do go out and take a look at this fine phone that is a great asset to mobile professionals as well as anyone with a liking for high-tech cell phones.

LG enV Touch
A great phone with TWO displays! Probably the thing that fascinated me the most about this cell phone were the two amazing display screens, and the perfectly sensitive touch-screen. Another cell phone with a full HTML web browser, this phone allows users to browse the net with such ease because of the size of its screen. The enV Touch is a successor to the LG Voyager VX10000 and after two years, the enV Touch sure has made us proud by the improvements in the features, performance, and design. The cell phone is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera, a QWERTY keyboard, and other features such as where you can fit in your own headphones into the 3.5 mm headset jack, and the EV-DO Rev. A, allows you to browse the web faster. However, the only drawback of this cell phone is the lack of Wi-Fi technology. But all in all, the LG enV Touch is a great successor to the Voyager.
Samsung Memoir
The Samsung Memoir is a great camera phone, and actually looks like a camera in first glance. Taking pictures and uploading them directly onto photo-sharing sites is a joy, as this phone makes it so easy. The TouchWiz interface makes browsing the web and navigation within the phone a breeze. The cell phone is equipped with an 8-megapixel camera, and a full HTML web browser. Users can directly upload photos on to sites like Flickr and Photobucket without any hindrances. This Samsung Cellular Phone also features T-Mobile’s 3G network, a music player, and more. The Samsung Memoir is a great phone for people who love to immortalize memories by taking pictures. The camera is definitely comparable to normal cameras any day. Definitely worth the price for such a sleek design and excellent features!

Top 5 Camera Phones..!

Cramming a Camera into a Phone is perhaps one of the most revolutionary idea in the world of gadgets as it redefined our notion of how and why we take pictures. Gone are the days when we used our cameras only to take pictures at a wedding, birthday or any memorable occasion. And now we use the camera within our phone everyday to capture almost everything that comes down the way. The DSLR cameras or even the compact digital cameras are too bulky to be carried with if compared to the camera phones. We have previously listed the top music phones, top touchscreen phones, top 3G mobile phones, top business mobile phones, top luxurious phones and here is the list of the top 10 camera phones available in the market. Have a go.

Samsung Omnia i900 Vs LG Arena KM900 : A Comparative Study

Samsung and LG are arch-rivals when it comes to mobile phones. After LG launched their 8MP camera phone, the Renoir, Samsung was not late to release its most difficult competitor, the Pixon with almost same features. We compared those devices earlier and here are two flagship devices from these two electronic giants, the Omnia from Samsung which was released in June, 2008 and the Arena from LG, released in February 2009. Which one is better? Read our detailed comparative study to know it.

1. Design

Samsung Omnia i900 : After the iPhone showed its design charisma, every phone is following its path (Or should I say copying!). The Omnia also has nothing news in its design except its subtle design glamors. The phone measures 112 X 56.9 X 12.5 mm and weighs a moderate 122g.
LG Arena KM900 : It also looks quite the same in the overall form factor measuring in at 105.9 X 55.3 X 12mm and weighs a minimal 105g. However, the brushed steel trim and tempered glass screen looks shiny from every angle.
Conclusion : Both the phones look pretty well and it is more of a personal preference which one you will like most but I think that Omnia has a better subtle glamor for which I will keep it ahead of Arena.

2. Touchscreen Display

Samsung Omnia i900 : The 3.2 inch display has a resolution of 240 X 400 pixels and is capable to show 262K colors. The touchscreen is resistive one which needs some pressure to register the touches.
LG Arena KM900 : It has a 3 inch display with a whopping resolution of 480 X 800 pixels and is capable to show 16M colors. The touchscreen is a capacitive one and is very responsive.
Conclusion : LG Arena is a clear winner here with its way better screen with best resolution screen and vivid colors. The touchscreen is also much accurate and responsive than the Omnia.

3. Interface

Samsung Omnia i900 : It uses the standard WinMo interface which is modified by Samsung to offer better usability to the users. The whole interface is tweaked to finger friendliness.
LG Arena KM900 : It uses a new S-Class user interface with a home screen that rotate onscreen like a virtual cube showing media, contact shortcuts as well as programs and their shortcuts. The rotating menu enables users to quickly navigate to the saved images and videos.
Conclusion : If you are not a WinMo fan, you should like the S-Class interface but believe me, WinMo has its own facilities.

4. Camera

Samsung Omnia i900 : It has a 5MP Camera with autofocus and LED Flash. There is geo-tagging, face and smile detection with image stabilization facilities. There is also a secondary videocall camera.
LG Arena KM900 : It also has a 5MP camera that comes with LED Flash and autofocus capabilities. It also uses good quality Schneider Kreuznach Optics and has the geo-tagging and image stabilization capabilities. There is also a secondary videocall camera.
Conclusion : The Camera specs of both the devices look quite the same on paper and they are both very good imaging devices and it is very hard to decide which one is better.

5. Multimedia

Samsung Omnia i900 : This is a really multimedia capable device. You can store loads of music and videos in its 8/16GB internal memory which is expandable to another 16GB with a microSD Card. It supports various formats of music and videos such as MP3/AAC/WMA/OGG for audio and also DivX/Xvid/WMV/MP4 for videos.
LG Arena KM900 : It is also a multimedia device. Apart from playing almost all common formats like MP3/AAC/WMA it can also play the XviD or DivX formats of verion 5 or later. It has loads of storage space of 8GB internal memory as well as through its microSD expansion slot which can take up to 32GB Memory Cards. The Dolby mobile enhanced audio is really good at delivering the best quality music experience.
Conclusion : Both the devices can deliver good multimedia experience but I think Arena is a bit ahead of Omnia with its Dolby music process engine.

6. Connectivity

Samsung Omnia i900 : It is a quad band GSM phone supporting 850/900/1800/1900 bands. It also supports 2100 3G HSDPA Band. There are also other standard GPRS, EDGE and WiFI connectivity as well as Bluetooth with A2DP support for Stereo Bluetooth headsets.
LG Arena KM900 : It is also a quad band GSM phone supporting 850/900/1800/1900 frequency bands and also supports 2100 3G HSDPA band as well as 850/1900 band for American version. There are also other standard connectivity options such as GPRS, EDGE, WiFi and Bluetooth with A2DP connectivity.
Conclusion : Both the phones have excellent connectivity options and there is nothing to complain about them.

7. Overall

Samsung Omnia i900 : This is a nice Windows Mobile Device with good features and specs.
LG Arena KM900 : It is also a nice flagship phone from LG ready to take on any great mobile phone from any manufacturer.
Conclusion : At the end of the day it is very hard to say that this mobile is better than the other in every respect but keeping in mind that Arena has a better display and touchscreen along with good music, we rank it ahead of the Omnia i900.

LG Launches GM730 Smartphone

I don’t have any official contact with LG Malaysia nor its PR representatives, so I don’t know if the LG GM730 has been out in the market for some time now, but this is the first time I’m seeing it, so I’m assuming it’s new.  Plus, it’s got a full page advertisement in Saturday’s Star, page N28, so it must be new or new-ish to deserve this “star” treatment.  The GM730 is a Windows Mobile (WinMo) Professional (ie. touchscreen) smartphone running version 6.1 of WinMo, and is upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.5 when it is released, presumably for free.

Doesn’t that user interface look familiar?  ;-)  Seriously though, this is LG’s interface, which it calls “S-class”.  It is similar to HTC’s TouchFlo3D for Windows and SenseUI for Android, as well as Samsung’s TouchWiz2 and is meant to mask the complexities of manipulating a complex underlying operating system from the ordinary user.  Here are the specifications for the GM730:

. Type		. RF band
Touchscreen		GSM(850/900/1800/1900) UMTS(900(850)/1900/2100)

. Speaker		. Facebook : LG dedicate Client Applicatio..
12X18(Oval.) x 1EA		Yes

The 1000mAh battery looks a bit dodgy to me because of its small capacity.  So does the resistive screen, although I have to mention here that all WinMo devices have resistive screens.  And video recording at 15fps?  I think this will result in rather jerky looking videos due to the low frame rate!  But that large RAM looks delicious though!  And with a price like RM 1,799, I think LG doesn’t do much wrong here – and the big plus is that this phone is upgradeable to WinMo 6.5 when it is released next month!  Whether the upgrading exercise is going to be an easy one, and whether it can be user initiated, is another big question altogether!  The other thing that is not mentioned is what video codecs it supports for video playback.
On a related note, the LG Application Store for Malaysia is now open.  Software, if they are chargeable, are denominated in RM and  not in US$.  Rather impressively, the GM730 is one of only two phones supported at the moment in the LG Application Malaysia store, the other being the KS20.  I’m uncertain what the billing arrangement is with the local store, but it does ask you who your carrier is when you try to identify your phone – so that leads to the question of whether carrier billing is supported?  Carrier billing is where you choose to buy an application, and have the cost of the application appearing in your monthly mobile phone bill, so you can have one consolidated bill for all your smartphone’s voice/data as well as application usage.

 If anyone has any first hand experience with the local store, please do drop a comment with what you know!

LG BL40 Chocolate-one of the most stylish phones you will ever see.

Europe will be the first to get a taste of New Chocolate - LG BL40 - the forth in the proud line of Black Label phones, will be released across Europe this month, while the rest of the world will have to wait till October. In the UK, the LG BL40 will be available through the Carphone Warehouse and Orange.
We guess you already know the key LG BL40 New Chocolate feature from all these publicity shots - it's got an extra wide screen. 21:9-wide to be exact, with a generous 4" diagonal and 800 x 345 pixels resolution and capacitive technology, which makes it multi-touch capable. At first, you might think that this is for the sake of excellent movie playback.
And you'd be partially correct, "partially" because it's not the only reason. The resolution may be lower than WVGA but the size and aspect ratio of the screen ensure that the BL40 will fit most pages on the screen in landscape mode with text remaining readable.
That's not all either. The Dual Screen UI lets the LG New Chocolate split the screen in two, which can greatly improve the usability in some cases.
The internals of the LG BL40 New Chocolate make sure everything goes flawlessly - from the DivX support in the video player plus TV out and Dolby Mobile, to the 7.2Mbps HSDPA and Wi-Fi giving the browser a fast connection to the Internet. The 5-megapixel camera offers great performance too - we are quite impressed by the results even in the pre-production stage it was when we tested it.

LG BL20 : Hands on with the new handset

LG might have the BL40 as its new flagship Chocolate handset, but that hasn't stopped the company launching the BL20, a slider designed offering with some of the same iconic molding.

The new model, which will offer a number pad will come with a 2.4-inch screen, sport a 5 megapixel camera and HSDPA connectivity.

Other features include the usual array of Bluetooth, microSD slot and 130MB of internal memory to get you started.

Users will also get MP3 and video MP3 playback.

LG GW880 Android phone coming to China Mobile

The LG GW880 is LG’s first Android device, and though we were once eager to see what LG was cooking with Android, the GW880 is another WiFi-less device that runs China Mobile’s Ophone. Soon to be available in China, LG planned to release its LG GW880 smartphone with China Mobile’s OPhone OS. The device will be preloaded with OPhone OS, a version of Google’s open-source Android that has been approved by the Chinese government. Featuring iPhone-like interface and the company’s mobile software store called Mobile Market. OPhone SDK is compatible with Android SDK, Android software can be easily used on OPhone platform with the same API. China Mobile’s OPhone OS offers the company’s mobile software store called Mobile Market which is based on Android OS, featuring iPhone-like interface. “Android” this case means China Mobile’s custom WiFi-less OPhone platform, which means we’ll probably never see this guy outside of the Middle Kingdom. The LG GW880 supports China’s 3G connection (TD-SCDMA)/EDGE. The smartphone is a high-end one, as it comes with a 3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen display, 5MP camera with flash, Mobile TV, 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM. Like on other OPhone handsets, users can download applications from the Mobile Market portal. The Software Development Kit (SDK) for both the OPhone OS and Android OS is the same, so applications written for either will work on the other. A release date or pricing information for the GW880 in China remain unknown.
