LG Gets Its Android On with Sliding GW620
LG can stand to learn a thing or two from Motorola or Samsung with cooler sounding names, like Omnia or Cliq rather than GW620, but alas the headset is coming soon and it will be an Android headset. The Korean manufacturer has committed itself to Windows Mobile, and despite a warm relationship with Microsoft to attempt and deliver 13 new handsets by the end of next year, LG is looking to expand its product portfolio with an Android offering.
The GW620 is a QWERTY slider that looks like it is a mashup between Motorola's newly announced Moto CLIQ and the Windows Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. However, according to reports, the LG device will be a bare-bone model, lacking any customization on top of the Android build. Unlike the CLIQ, which will come with Motorola's UI overlay and customizations called Moto BLUR, LG will not be including its customized S-Class UI. Specs-wise, the LG model will have a smaller touchscreen than the HTC Touch Pro2, measuing 3-inch. The camera is rumored to be 5 megapixels. Unlike the HTC T-Mobile G1 and the Android HTC Hero, the LG GW620 will come with minimal buttons. The device will be headed for European markets in the fourth quarter. It looks like the Moto CLIQ, which will be available in Europe as the Moto DEXT later this year, will be getting some competition. (via: Engadget Mobile) GRTZ CYBER WEESJE ADMINISTRATOR@SPJ |

that phone doesnt look half bad. I still wouldnt buy anything thats not made by HTC though. I wouldnt mind seeing more specs on it though it might turn out to be a nice entry lvl competitor to the G1 style android device.

why not, you should always try new and such, one company may make a better phone for wm, one for android, and so on... all companies are going to add special little features also and im def a fan of htc but also enjoy the new devices through different companies.

they are making their move for sure, if you notice when apple took down their hold a little bit with less commercials, news, and such android and google stepped right in and stole the spot light from them..... google and android were smart in how they marketed this and on how they are linking up with many different brands so they cover all their bases for the die hard brand name fans like many of us our with htc.
