Verizon Wireless and LG Electronics announced today that the LG VX9600 Versa will launch next week on the Verizon network. The touchscreen phone features an attachable QWERTY keyboard to help users write e-mails and messages, or they can choose to leave the keypad at home to reduce the overall size of the device.
The Versa's 3-inch touchscreen with tactile feedback features an animated OS with a 3D interface and customizable home screens. The phone's accelerometer rotates the screen between portrait and landscape modes, and can be used to control games. The Versa's Web browser supports Flash, RSS, and tabbed browsing. Users can snap pictures and video with the Versa's 2 megapixel camera, which can save the multimedia to the phone's microSD card slot.

Before the start of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Sony Ericsson unveiled its prototype Idou smartphone. With a 3.5-inch touchscreen display and a 12.1 megapixel camera, the high-end mobile device will be released under the company's new Entertainment Unlimited umbrella later this year. The phone will run the first version of the Symbian Foundation(INFO)'s operating system, which is based upon S60(INFO) 5th edition, and features intuitive touch controls, a Xenon flash, and true 16:9 wide screen viewing. The "Idou" title is only a placeholder; the company will give it a commercial name closer to release.
Entertainment Unlimited is Sony Ericsson's next step in integrating communication and entertainment on mobile devices. The brand combines the best of Sony Ericsson's Walkman music platform, Cyber-shot imaging experience, and Java gaming and messaging services. It also seamlessly integrates mobile phones with home consumer devices like TVs, PCs, and HiFi systems. Users will have access to thousands of applications and will be able to download content over Sony Ericsson's PlayNow service.
Pricing and availability for the Idou prototype has not been announced, but the company says the phone will be released in the second half of 2009. More devices are expected to be announced under the Entertainment Unlimited umbrella this year. |
