The latest news that is creating waves in the mobile world is that LG’s VX7100 Glance for Verizon will be entering the market on June 5, alongside the enV Touch. We would have initially thought that this device would get buried under the enV’s presence, but we think might have been a mistake. This handheld looks really stylish – in fact, it is a good deal fancier than its price.
The braided gold rear probably will not appeal to everyone, but this a cool alternative to the ubiquitous flips these guys have been launching. We have information that it will hit for $50 after a $50 rebate, and to put it mildly, it’s definitely not easy to find a phone that looks this flashy at that price level. The LG VX7100 Glance said to pack a QVGA display, 1.3 megapixel camera and a body just over 9.5mm thick. Check out the pic below and tell us what you think.

Put up online are details of what is supposedly Nokia’s upcoming Internet Tablet, possibly called the N900. Apparently codenamed ‘Rover’, the N900 is said to look very similar to the N810 Internet Tablet, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
The supposed N900 Internet Tablet could feature a smaller 3.5-inch WVGA resolution touchscreen display. Most importantly, the device is supposed to be powered by Texas Instruments’ OMAP3430 processor, the same as that in the Palm Pre. Connectivity is believed to include WiFi and 3G support, though exact frequencies are still unknown.
This N900 is believed to be much like the Nseries line, with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with video capture and 32GB of internal storage. The new tablet is believed to be powered by Nokia’s Maemo5 Linux-based operating system. This new Internet Tablet is supposedly planned to be announced in June, with availability in August or September.
