To some this new phone from LG has come as a bit of a surprise as the company is usually ahead of the game when it comes to developments within the industry.

Now the phone the InTouch Max GW620 is a super Android device for LG that has been mainly designed for social networkers and those of us that like to spend a lot of time on line. It has a fully touch sensitive 3 inch display, it also has a full QWERTY keyboard.

As we all know through Android marketplace you have access to over 20,000 applications and around 65% of them are actually free. Also this phone has Wi-Fi and 3G support so you can be sure to be connected to the internet fairly rapidly wherever you are in order to stay InTouch.

The announcement was made on their official Facebook page, and claims that the over the air software update will bring the Droid software up a peg or two towards the Google Nexus One, although some features wont be present.

The Facebook announcement really just played with us as it gave no information on any features that will come with the upgrade. Having said that despite the lips being held tightly shut, the guys over at Engadget have found some more information.

According to Engadget’s trusted sources the 2.1 software update for the Motorola Droid will be bringing multitouch capabilities to the built in browser and also for Google Maps 3.4 and Google Goggles visual search. Really all we can do is wait patiently for the update and hope we get what we want from it. Source - itworldcanada.com

It comes to us with a 3.2 inch full touchscreen display but has the added advantage of being able to prove itself as the smallest and the slimmest handset in their range. It also brings with it a whole load of communications capabilities to users.

The LG Mini comes with Social Network Connect which enables users to stay connected with their friends a lot easier, fast connection to Facebook and Twitter and instant updates from social networking sites.

As I| said this is packed and not only has a 5 megapixel photo snapper as well as FM radio, HSDPA connectivity at 7.2 Mbps and Wi-Fi and a built in GPS receiver with AGPS. We can look forward to seeing this apparently as soon as March. Sadly no information yet on pricing but we’ll let you know when we know. Source - softpedia.com

Yes that’s right here in the UK. You can pre order your Google Nexus One from Gadget emporium Play.com for the sum of well a little bit on the heavy side really £599.

The site advertises that the Android 2.1 phone will be available from the 16th February that’s a week away. Shipping will take just 3-4 working days and what‘s more your phone will be unlocked to any network.

So in theory you could be using yours by the 20th February, sadly though UK models wont have the very much talked about multitouch support, nor will it have Google Navigation. You will however be proud to state that you have what is potentially an Apple iPhone killer and probably the best Android phone yet. Source - t3.com

The data which has come from ComScore shows information from September though to December and Motorola was the highest cell phone vendor in the US, followed by LG, Samsung and Nokia.

Looking at smartphones however, it was RIM research in Motion that took the lead followed by Apple. Microsoft, Palm and Google came behind Apple, and Google saw the largest gains of any smartphone OS on the market.

Text messaging is also on the increase according to the research again from ComScore, 61% of mobile users text messaged others in September which increased to 63.1 % by the end of December. Mobile Web browsing, usage of downloadable apps and mobile gaming is also on the increase too. Source - news.cnet.com

Sadly it is missing the ‘comes with music’ package which is disappointing to some of you. The price isn’t bad though at just £299 for the 16GB version and for an extra £150 you can have the 32GB version.

It is expected that the price may fall even further as that is Nokia’s suggested retail price, it is said to be in line with the HTC Touch Diamond2 or the LG Viewty Smart and both of these are in the region of £300.

Vodafone has a registration page for those of you that want to get your hands on one of these. The release date although not confirmed is quite likely to be later on this month. It has a 5 megapixel camera and a 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen, with a higher resolution that the iPhone 3GS. Source - itproportal.com

The iPhone OS 3.1.3 was only a minor update that has a few fixes, for example battery fix and a fix for third-party applications that would not launch properly, this update patched a few security holes as well. If this update was so good, why is it that only 14 percent of iPhone users downloaded this new update?

We found this study via Apple Insider and it was, 72.3 percent of iPhone users are still running OS 3.1.2, 0.8 percent is still using 3.1.1 and 4.6 percent are still using 3.1.0. We also mentioned yesterday about the latest hacking tool Pwnage Tool version 3.1.5 for Mac and that it is compatible with the latest iPhone operating system, this latest release allowed users to preserve a jailbreak and carrier unlock.

Some of the main specs on the new Bada phone from Samsung include Samsung’s Bada UI possibly according to Engadget AMOLED, it will have a 3.5-inch display.

As soon as we hear more about this mobile phone we will tell you more, hopefully we will know the full specifications, features, release dates and of course the price. In the meantime whilst you wait please do comment below.

We and of course all our readers want the new Apple product this year and we have all sat here pondering on the thoughts of what the new iPhone should have, we have wrote an article about it having an all new Micro SIM like the iPad, or what about the possibility of the smartphone having HD (720p) video recording?

Features phonesreview.co.uk readers have asked for: 64GB/128GB hard disk, 5-megapixel camera or higher, Front facing camera for video conferencing, better battery including a removable battery, what about removable memory, multi-tasking, holographic technology would be pretty cool or even 3D, better stereo speakers built-in. What about the possibility of a powerful LED flash that could be used as a flashlight, or even built in HD/digital FM radio receiver, or a digital TV receiver built-in.

What about a brand new Verizon iPhone that can work with the high-speed CDMA network, got to love it if the new iPhone for 2010 had a laser projection keyboard or even a slide-out keyboard. Hey, Apple is there any chance of the new iPhone having 1GB RAM, 1GHz Atom Processor, and Higher Resolution OLED screen or Multicore/scaling SGX like theorized before.

The list of specs and features we would all love could go on and on, but as they say we can all dream. Wonder what will happen this year, will we see the all new iPhone 4G 2010?

Well now it seems according to Mobiletor that Google has dropped the price to $150 and any ETF fixed by the carrier, the $350 device recovery fee is a little expensive especially when you add it up with T-Mobile charging for ETF of $150.

The changed fee means that there has been a $200 cut; this is all good news if you want the new Nexus One smartphone and even better news if you decide you no longer want to own one.

Please let us know if this is good news for you, do you have the Google Nexus One phone? If so please send in your reviews of this device and if you are happy with it.

Thanks to iResQ posting images, you can clearly see the front panel of the 4th-generation iPhone that is sitting next to the 3GS model. The new panel is 1/4-inch bigger than the 3GS model but does have the same aluminium back.

What is interesting is the small reflective surface that is located above the earpiece, could this possibly mean that we will get to see a camera for video calls? Who knows as yet again these are just pure rumours and even then we do not know if these images are the real deal or not.

All we know is that the next Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is coming in June 2010 so we are sure Steve Jobs will let us know if these are pure rumours or indeed fact. Obviously, we would be very happy for the all-new Apple iPhone 4G to be announced and readily available for July.

Do you think these images are fake or real?

Obviously, Google will be revealing some new product or it could be all about the Twitter-style status update system for Gmail, this new service will provide real-time feeds of information from contacts. Then again could it be some brand new software in the form of Android 2.1.

You can join the Google Event live via Technologizer that will start at 10am PT on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010. We will let you know more as soon as we know more.

So what do you think Google will be revealing? If you have any ideas please do post your thoughts in the comments area below.

We have reported numerous articles that are of course rumours, but we merely report what we find out online, via emails we get sent in and of course from our readers. Take product-reviews.net for example who decided it was their duty to say we waffle with its titles being “New iPhone on Verizon in 2010: When bloggers waffle”, good one guys a nice little stab in the dark to get readers. Have to admit though we love this sort of banter.

Many of you including ourselves wish to know more about the iPhone Verizon, iPhone 4G and of course many of you search for iPhone 2010, so this leads us to find out a little more on what our readers search for, we basically wish to give you a service that you require being it rumour or fact. If you search for it we try to find out a little more about it and if there is no news on these subjects we will ask our readers for their opinions hence an article we did yesterday titled “Steve Jobs: AT&T is no Valentine, divorce and date Verizon for new iPhone 2010”

Do we really waffle? Well yes, we do a little but only about key facts we need to learn more about, how is the article above waffling when it is stating a fact. Ticked off AT&T customers with its service and coverage are screaming to high heaven for Verizon and Apple to finally come to some agreement for the new iPhone 2010, will it happen this year? We are not too sure because no one knows at this particular time, so call it what you may a rumour or simply a question we would like answered.

All sites including product-reviews.net write articles based on speculation, without such speculations readers will never get to know that the possible rumours could indeed be fact. Like for example all the rumours about the new Apple iPad Tablet, yes everyone reported that the Apple Event would be revealing this device but it was all rumours at first that did indeed become FACT.

Please answer our poll question below; we would love to hear more from you.
