This one has been recently launched in some markets. The LG GB270 doesn't look like an LG phone, more like a Sony Ericsson knock-off. Furthermore, the two models you see on the picture are actually one and the same handset. The GB270, a member of LG's Dynamite series, has interchangeable covers that change both the color of the phone and its physical traits, including keypad and d-pad styles, the shape of the bezel, and even add an external lanyard in the upper corner.

 

Two new Windows-mobile business handsets were spotted in the recently leaked AT&T's upcoming lineup, namely the HP Obsidian and LG Monaco. Both will be released in November, which will apparently turn out as hot in terms of handset releases as the October.

See below a quick rundown of  specifications for the LG Monaco and HP Obsidian:

HP Obsidian:

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100MHz);
• Bluetooth 2.

How did we miss this one. We're late, but anyway, according to the latest PR regarding the LG Chocolate Touch, the phone "will be released across the Europe in September and will be expanded to the rest of the world from October 2009". Ultimately it will end up launching in 50 countries around the world.

LG has officially announced its first Android based handset today, the GW620. It is a sideways slider with a 3" touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, a microUSB slot and a 3.5mm headset jack. However, that's about all we can tell about it for now.

Expect the GW620 to be available in the Q4 in selected European markets.
