Pocket-Lint recently discovered a mysterious T-Mobile branded handset from LG in London this week – a slider touchscreen phone with similarities to LG Quantum and LG Optimus, only that it has a split QWERTY keyboard, accommodating a secondary touchpad. The secondary touchpad serves as a shortcut to up to eight apps, only that the first six apps were already pre-filled in.
The long-awaited next 4G phone is about to come to Verizon, the LG Revolution. It runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, has a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, and is the first phone to come pre-loaded with a Netflix app.
Here are the full specs:
The LG eXpo is your typical top notch smartphone, featuring a 1GHz snapdragon processor and large 480×800 capacitive touchscreen display. But it has one thing that other smartphones don’t, an attachable projector. That’s right, this phone is like carrying around a 66″ tv in your pocket.
The 1GHz Snapdragon processor is fast enough to smoothly watch movies in 480 x 800 resolution, and look surprisingly good when projected in the right conditions (dark with a light background). This is great for presentations, watching videos, photos, or web browsing. Here’s what the projector looks like in action:
Now back to the phone itself, it runs on AT&T’s network and features Windows Mobile 6.5. It also has a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, fingerprint scanner that is also a D-pad, slide out qwerty keyboard, and every other feature a smartphone should have.
Here’s engadget’s hands on of the phone in action:
Basically this phone is on par with the Touch Pro2 and the likes, but when the add-on projector becomes available (shouldn’t be too long) then this phone will be one of the coolest out there. The price is $99 with a 2 year contract, and the add-on projector will set you back another $180.
