Hands-on with the LG KT610 business smartphoneBy Philip Berne, 11 February 2008
LG updates the enV look with the LG KT610, and it surprises us with a popular smartphone OS inside. Can you guess which one?

LG KT610 Specs »  Gallery »
LG KT610 With the LG KT610, LG has basically reinvented the VX9900 for business custom. . . wait a minute, is that Symbian S60? In an LG enV-style clamshell? What's that doing in there? What a nice, um, surprise!? Perhaps there is an audience for this phone, but we're pretty skeptical. The external screen seemed awfully small to us, even compared to Verizon's enV, and ditto the internal display. The keyboard seemed cramped, and the strange form factor did nothing to really improve on either the candy bar or clamshell design. Come on, LG, it's not like you haven't improved on the enV already. Release: June 2008.
Pros: Lots of people crave S60, we're sure. Small for a bulky smartphone.
Cons: Tiny external screen, small internal screen, poor keyboard, and we're not the biggest S60 fans around.
