Last week, the GC900, which we have now come to call as the LG Viewty Smart, made an appearance on the LG blog, which was later taken down. This time around, we bring you news straight from the horse's mouth and have one more detail to add: a release date. According to the press release by LG recently, the 8mpx Viewty Smart cameraphone will start appearing through "operators in Europe" this May, but the article did not mention a price, so may be it's up to the operators now to come out with their subsidized prices. In the meantime, enjoy a few beauty shots of the LG Viewty Smart on us after the break...

With a name like Lollipop, it's pretty obvious which segment of the moblie phone users LG is targeting, but the LG Lollipop, which comes in three models of SV800, KH8000, and LH8000, is no kid when it comes to specs. The clamshell is fully capable of handling HSDPA and can make video calls with a 1.3 megapixel camera on the inside just for those occasions. There is also a 3-megapixel camera on the outside to capture those funny moments and microSD support to house that ever-growing folder of pictures and videos. Measuring a thin 106.5 x 51.5 x 13.4 mm, the Lollipop also has an expansive 2.8 inch TFT display and a media player to while away those times of boredom in class.

The LG Lollipop will start selling this month in South Korea and will be available from all major Korean carriers in enticing colors of Cutie Pink, Boyish Titanium, and Aqua Blue at an undisclosed price.

The LG Arena, that flagship phone we've seen launched a while ago, has cleared through the FCC. More than one million units have been pre-ordered already in Europe and Asia while the North American market has been left wanting. The KM900 didn't have any support for that North American HSPA but luckily all that has been changed. According to the FCC, the KM900QA will be ready to suit the needs of U.S. customers, having support for 850 and 1900 MHz HSPA bands. So are you going to order an Arena soon? Anxious of playing with that new S-Class 3D interface?

With preorders already crossing the 1 million mark, LG's Arena could already be termed as a success in the footsteps of other LG superstars like the Chocolate and the Shine.

It's the Europeans this time around who have the first chance to experience its expansive 3.0 WVGA touchscreen display that can handle DivX videos with aplomb, the cool 3D S-Class user interface, 8GB of internal memory with further expansion up to 40GB via microSD, its auto/manual focus 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and watch their favorite online videos at 3G speeds or on a WiFi connection.

The LG Arena is available now across major European markets at an undisclosed price in choices of silver and black titanium colors.

The slider in the picture is LG's Rumor 2 which looks like it's ready to arrive from Sprint.

The GD900, which LG debuted at the GSMA World Congress, is billed as the world's first phone with a transparent design handset. Not everything on the slider handset is transparent (the mechanical components are the old-fashioned opaque variety) but the rear slider is translucent and the keypad gives off a glittering show. LG promises a Bluetooth headset is in the works which will match the clear design of the phone itself.

Technical details about the GD900 were sparse at the show, but LG promises it will bring out the specs for review later this year. In the meantime, the GD900 has a futuristic look that is bound to win some devotees early on. As more and more cell phone manufacturers compete to include new applications and electronic features, style and simplicity in the user interface tend to get overlooked. Often it is the simple but beautiful item that wins out in the end. Expect the LG GD900 clear handset phone to show up in stores sometime in the third quarter of 2009.

We still lack all the details of this LG smartphone but we're expecting to get them soon enough.

Looking for a new phone? Is it an LG? Is it a slider? I hope you answered yes to all those questions as I have a new LG for you. Well actually, AT&T is going to have a new LG slider for you. It's the CF360 phone is arriving at AT&T in the following days. It's an entry-level phone which lacks any impressive features.

LG has a new phone in the works, the VX9600 or the Versa. We have no official details yet and therefore we have no idea when the phone is coming and how much it will cost.

One of the most obvious features of this phone is the detachable QWERTY keyboard module. Besides the detachable QWERTY keyboard we should expect a detachable gamepad, a pair of speakers and an Internet module with WiFi.
