The Taiwan-based cell phone maker, HTC, today announced the HTC HD2, an amazing full touchscreen phone that comes equipped with whopping 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen, and is powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional with HTC “Sense” User interface.
The HD2 phone easily surpasses the Apple’s iPhone 3G S – the HD2 is powered by Qualcomm’s new 1GHz Snapdragon mobile processor with 512MB ROM and 448MB, enough to load any application at lightning speed.
Since the phone is running on Windows 6.5 operating system, it comes preloaded with standard Smartphone apps, including Outlook Mobile, Internet Explorer, Windows Marketplace, and Windows Media Player Mobile. Besides supporting 3G network, this HTC phone also support Wi-Fi access, allowing users to browse the Internet at any WiFi HotSpot.

LG today announced a user-friendly stripped down touchscreen phone called “Pop” (also known as LG GD510), calling the “Pop” phone the most compact 3-inch full touchscreen phone ever made. The idea of the “Pop” phone is taking out all the unnecessary features that make the touch screen phone expensive, and make the “Pop” phone as simple-to-use as possible with the help of touchscreen navigation. LG said according to their survey, customers wanted an affordable full touchscreen phone that is not complicated, and doesn’t break the bank.

“We gave the LG GD510 an optimized feature set which allowed us to concentrate on making the phone more compact and simpler to use,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Our high-end phones like the Black Label Series New LG Chocolate (LG BL40) may be getting all the attention but there’s a gap in the market for affordable touchscreen phones that we want to fill. The LG GD510 delivers all the essentials in communication, multimedia and entertainment and comes in a compact form factor as well.”
Features of the LG “Pop” include a 3-megapixel digital camera, 8-GB of internal memory, MP3 music player, Video player, and Video recorder.
“The spacious 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen extends almost to the edges of the LG GD510 with a narrow 4.8 mm bezel giving the illusion of an uninterrupted sheet of glass. The unit’s sleek design is accented by a single button on the face that functions as the menu, end and cancel keys, depending on the phone’s mode. A slim strip of light around the button shines either green or red to indicate the handset’s function. The LG GD510 is crafted from brushed aluminum which gives it a high-end look and feels solid in the hand even when squeezed.”
The LG Pop phone will be available in mid-October in Europe. Price is yet to be determined, but will vary country-to-country.

Google’s Android is getting a lot of momentum recently as more and more manufacturers are willing to make phones that are powered by Android. The latest carrier that joins the Android bandwagon is LG, the world’s 3rd largest cell phone maker. LG today announced the LG GW620, a full touch screen phone with a slide-out keyboard, pretty much just look likes HTC’s G1 or MyTouch.
The release of GW620 doesn’t mean that LG is betting that Android will be the mainstream OS in the future. In fact, LG, just like Samsung, is having two-tier smartphone strategy, which means they will release a couple of phones for different mobile OS, and see which one picks up.
“The LG-GW620 will appeal to first-time smartphone customers by offering a new and different kind of user experience,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Our objective is to provide a wide selection of smartphones to satisfy the diverse preferences of today’s consumers. This Android phone is just one of many smartphone models we plan to introduce worldwide in the years ahead.”

Verizon Wireless today announced the Nokia 7705 Twist, one of the cutest and smallest phone that we have seen so far. Unbelievably, with its tiny size, the 7705 Twist phone still has a full QWERTY keyboard that twisted open beneath the 2.4-inch QVGA screen screen. The Nokia 7705 Twist supports Verizon Wireless VCAST Video / Music with Rhapsody. It will be available for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with two-year customer agreement.
The 7705 Twist has been tailored for easy and quick messaging on the move. Along with the full QWERTY keyboard, the Twist comes toting a customizable Contact Light Ring (yes, that jumbo button sat on the bottom right), letting you assign colours to identify calls and messages from folk in your contacts book. On the messaging front it also features threaded messages, as seen in the upcoming Nokia X3, to help you keep better track on active conversations. While email, IM, MMS and SMS are all ticked, the 7705 Twist is also blog-savvy, enabling you to communicate with the world via a simple ‘post to blogs’ feature that also can fire out your snaps and text to social network sites.
Outside of its circle of messaging talents the 7705 Twist comes with a 3.0 megapixel camera in tow, with autofocus, flash and self-timer – the flat-edged design lets you stand it on its end, meaning you can capture group shots using the timer to ensure you’re in them too.

Sony Ericsson today surprised the world by announcing the Xperia Pureness phone, a simple design yet elegant phone that brings together beautiful craftsmanship and the concept of “talk, text, time – a holiday from technology”.

The Xperia Pureness will be available in November 2009. There is no information about its pricing.
