MWC 2009: LG launches LG-GM730 and confirms commitment to Windows Mobile February 17, 2009 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. LG is launching new Windows Mobile phone with touch-screen, that will be available in few months - not immediately. However the most important thing is, that LG has confirmed that it will be using Windows Mobile as main operating system for their smarthones. It is good news considering that Samsung abandons Windows Mobile (new Omnia HD is powered by Nokia's Symbian S60), Huawei and many other Asian makers release phones powered by Android not Windows Mobile anymore. Finally Motorola simply said that it is skipping Windows Mobile 6.5 and waiting till 2010 - for (multi-touch equipped) Windows Mobile 7... Interestingly LG considers LG-GM730 to be just a springboard for many other Windows Mobile smartphones that they will be releasing: More information from LG follows. * * * * * LG Makes Smart Move with New Smartphone LG Electronics (LG) , a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, today announced LG-GM730, its newest handset in LG’s smartphone line-up, which makes advanced smartphone features easy to use. This, the first smartphone to use new version of Windows Mobile OS integrated with LG’s advanced 3D S-Class User Interface, will be on display at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona from February 16-19. LG Electronics steps forward to the smartphone market making statement that users don’t have to outsmart to their smartphone. The LG-GM730 is the newest phone among LG’s easy-to-use smartphones line-up to come. The company has recently signed a special contract with Microsoft, allowing them to be the first manufacturer of a phone with the new version of Windows Mobile. On top of Windows Mobile, the LG-GM730 will provide LG’s dynamic, direct and intuitive S-Class User Interface. “The combination of Windows Mobile and our new 3D S-Class User Interface will make the LG-GM730 the most functional and easiest to use smartphone ever created,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. “This phone is a springboard for us. We will launch a number of smartphones this year; most of them will follow this same winning formula.” Built-around a 3D cube layout, S-Class User Interface provides four customizable home screens. The simple flick of a finger instantly turns the cube from one side to the next. S-Class User Interface eliminates nested menus wherever possible, providing more direct access to features and applications. Even setup for e-mail is simplified, requiring just one click. Internet Explorer 6.0 enhances the web experience. The LG-GM730 also incorporates LG’s signature style, with a slim, seamless profile and smooth, stylish rounded edges. At just 11.9 mm it is the perfect on-the-go. Despite its small size, it still manages to pack in all the essential productivity software, with room to spare. More technical specifications will be announced soon and the LG-GM730 will be available for purchase in the first half of 2009.
