The new LG GM750, codenamed Layla, has been recently certified by the WiFi Alliance. According to an XML file, it will offer some notable features, including Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, and Chat on Map function, which allows you to see where the people you’re talking to are instant messaging from.

Here's a more detailed list:

• Windows Mobile 6.

Two new handsets have appeared at LG's Canadian site. Both are scheduled for release on August 7th, and offer some dull specs, which are listed below.

Ok, first is the LGBliss, pictured left. It should be released on August 7th on Bell, and will be available at $79.95 CAD on a 3-year contract. In terms of specs you’ll get:

• Full 3" 240×400 touchscreen;
• 2Mpix camera with video capture capability;
• 4 1/2 hours of talk time

The other handset is the TELUS’ Keybo2.

Telus is planning to release a new device on August 7th. It's called the LG KEYBO2, and features a 1.56″ external screen, 2.6″ internal screen, a 3Mpix camera with video recording, new directional pad design and more. It will be available for $129.99 on a 3-year contract, $229.99 for the 2-year, $279.99 for 1-year and $329.99 outright.

If the phone doesn’t show up at TELUS on the 7th, expect it to become available at Best Buy.

LG came up with a new clamshell for the Korean market called the "Whistle." Why they decided to call it so is beyond me, but anyway, the LV7500 is still pretty cool, mostly because it features a front-facing array of 115 LEDs that can be user-customized - not a unique feature, but but pretty rare.

The phone will be available in four colors on Korean LG Telecom's CDMA network for around 400,000 won (about $325).

LG has officially announced its latest addition to the Black Label series, the BL40 Chocolate. Well, that's nice to hear, though everyone already knows about it anyway. But the announcement also provided us with some information regarding the phone's eventual release - it will debut in Q3 2009 in 54 countries worldwide.

Some specifications:

• 4" 21:9 wide screen display, 800x345 pixels;
• 5Mpix camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens;
• 7.

A Sina Corporation reporter has gotten his hands on the new LG Chocolate BL40 and its 21:9 aspect ratio display. The are no additional details available about the handset besides the ones we already know, so just check out these new live photos.

Here are some live photos of the new LG BL42 slider we didn't include in the previous posts. Enjoy!

MobileSyrup reported that the new LG "Bliss" will be launched on Canada's Bell on August 7 for CAD $79.95 (about $72) on a 3 year contract, $129.95 on 2 year, $229.95 on a 1 year, and outright for $279.95.

The phone has a QWERTY touch screen with 4 customisable home screens, a 2Mpix camera with video capture, Bluetooth, music player, and microSD slot supporting up to 16GB of additional storage.

LG is known to be working on a few Android handsets, and we’re pretty excited to learn that the GW620 Eve may be the first LG device to run Android. The official announcement is closing fast, and we can't wait for it to happen. Details are still scarce for now, but we do know the handset will have the Android browser, HVGA touchscreen display, full-QWERTY keypad, Wi-Fi and UMTS/HSDPA support.
