In less exciting phone news, AT&T has began to offer the LG Neon. It’s currently available in a black facade with a green under belly and features a 2.4-inch touchscreen LCD, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and media player. It’s yours for $29.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate and 2-year contract singing.

With the official Palm PRE release date out in the open, news of a June 5th launch for Verizon’s enV Touch is a bit on the moot side. Nonetheless, the handset we saw leaked last month (known as the EnV3), will include both a 3-inch internal and external (800×480) touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, full HTML browser, EV-DO connectivity and a QWERTY keyboard. When it goes on sale next month expect it to cost $149.99 with a 2-year contract and $70 mail-in-rebate, although there seems to be conflicting reports on the price point.

The LG Env3 is due out any day now and all that has done is fan the flames of interest as is evidenced by this rather benign rear shot of the device. I wish I had more to tell you, but all we can suss out right now is that the 3rd iteration of the handset will include a 3 megapixel camera, LED flash and something called ‘Intelligent Shot’.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Looks like LG has decided to make their Viewty Smart (LG-GC900), the follow up to their LG Viewty, official today. Earlier this week we saw the Viewty Smart posted on the company’s German blog and quickly pulled down. So, to confirm the Viewty Smart will include a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, a ‘more intelligent image processor’ that can capture 8 megapixel stills at up to 1600 ISO, DVD quality video recording, 1.5GB of storage expandable by microSD card, LED flash, WiFi, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, a-GPS, and S-Class User Interface. Yup, all this and a 12.4mm thin body.
The LG Viewty Smart will launch in Europe this May and then hit other markets shortly after.

Oh the puns that phone manufacturers come up with. Yeah, they’re not good, but then again nor are mine. The LG UX265 Banter (get it?) has made its way to US Cellular and given its feature set I some how don’t see lines forming out the door for this handset. Specs include a dual keypad - slideout QWERTY and numeric keypad - GPS enabled, 5.5 hour talk time, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, music player, changeable faceplates and VGA screen.
It’s yours for $49.95 after a 2-year agreement and $50 mail-in-rebate.

LG had a fumble today when they accidentally posted early pics of the yet to be announced LG Viewty II. Also leaked was the phone’s alternate name, the LG Viewty Smart GC900 as well as its features set, which includes a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, S class 3D interface, 8 megapixel camera with geotagging and Xenon flash, microSD card slot, built-in WiFi, a-GPS and accelerometer. Yup, all this and it’s just 12.4mm thick.
Sorry, no word on an official release date, but since LG’s blog posted then removed the info hours later, it’s probably safe to say we’ll see it in the next few days if not weeks.

The LG GD900 has been the talk of the town thanks to its unusual transparent keypad, a first in a cell phone. If you’re interested in the phone, then might I pique your interest further with the official demo video that walks you through the phone’s feature set and shows all that it has to offer. Too lazy to watch the demo? Specs include GSM/HSDPA connectivity, 3-inch touch, 8 megapixel camera with camcorder abilities and a transparent touchpad that supports hand writing recognition and gesture controls with the swipe of a finger. The LG GD900 will arrive this quarter and although I hate to say it, the phone will be a flash in the pan.

Verizon’s LG Voyager 2 and EnV3 showed up today courtesy of Mr. Blurry cam. Not too many details are known at this juncture, but since the phones are relatively boring and set for release in the near future does it matter?
