Is The LG GW300 A Smartphone Or Just A Mobile Phone?

The latest introduction from LG Electronics, the LG GW300, looks suave enough to pass off as a lower-end smartphone, but hey, don’t you guys get fooled by its looks. This is actually just another mobile phone, without even the slightest bit of a smartphone’s usual traits.

The good thing about this device, though, is that it comes with an integrated Facebook client, so it will keep all teeny-boppers very happy. Other specs include 3G-free EDGE, 2.4” QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth and a full QWERTY keyboard for heavy texters. There is yet no info on the pricing or availability of this phone, but something tells us this is gonna become one hell of a popular device when it does enter the market.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Okayed By FCC, But No 3G Spotted Yet

We kept hoping and actually, we are still hopeful, that Nokia’s lovely 5530 XpressMusic handset comes with 3G. This particular mobile phone has now been okayed by the FCC, though there seems to be no trace of the 3G yet.

Anyways, one good thing is that it looks a lot better than the higher-end Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. The 5530 also has EDGE for the WWAN, relying on its Wi-Fi for transporting heavy data back and forth. No more info for now, so we shall bring it to you as it comes.

Sony Ericsson “Bao” Phone Spotted By Spy Camera

Just take a look at the pic below and you’ll wonder just why we even bothered to bring you a post on this ridiculous-looking retro phone. Here is one hell of a low-resolution picture of what is alleged to be the Sony Ericsson “Bao” flip phone.

We sincerely hope SE changes their mind about bringing this phone to the market – it would be nothing short of committing professional suicide. Nothing else is known about this horrendous thing other than it is very, very different from the normally suave and stylish SE phones. Anyway, we will bring you more news as and when we get it. So stay tuned.
