LG presented its new 3G series smartphone, the KS10, at the 3GSM World Congress 2007. The KS10 features fully functioning internet capabilities. Its high speed HSDPA internet connection can transfer data at speeds up to 1.8Mbps, allowing streaming of high quality TV.

The KS10’s 2.4-inch QVGA screen looks to be crisp and clear from the pictures. Along with its full internet feature, it can record browsed pages, sort, capture web pictures, a keyword search (like AOL? Sure hope not!), and has a built in MP3 player. We’re also liking the look of it too. Very sleek and nice sliding action. More from 3GSM as it develops. (more…)

Samsung announced its latest addition to their Ultra line of phones with the Ultra Smart F700. Or as we like to call it, the only phone we’ve seen with the potential to be the iPhone killer. The phone will be displayed at the 3GSM World Congress.

The F700 has a pretty looking touchscreen, which happens to be very iPhone-esque. Samsung goes one step ahead of Apple in this case and adds in a QWERTY keyboard. Accessible after the touch screen slides out of place.

The F700 isn’t only a pretty face, but has the features to back it up. VibeTonz technology adds a vibration to every button so users can tell where their hands are. The F700 also delivers a “drag and drop” like interface on the touchscreen, meaning easier navigation and control for us users.

From AVING:

The Ultra Smart reflects the latest speed of 7.2 Mbps under the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network.

A full HTML browser along with the QWERTY key pad enables easy access to the internet for e-mail and data services.

The device features 5 mega-pixel camera with auto focus and Bluetooth. With 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, it makes it easier to watch videos, listen to songs, share high-quality photos, or catch up on email on the move.

Can Samsung bring the iPhone down a peg? We shall see. (more…)
