Hands-on with LG's QWERTY clamshell, the KT610

We had no luck getting pics of this guy last night, but yahoo, we had a chance to play today. Putting the KT610 through its paces -- albeit in a crazy fast way -- we were completely underwhelmed by the interface speed and the screen, when open, is in a pretty odd position to actually read. Aside from those little details, this is a pretty slick little handset, here's hoping they sort the hardware to give it a little speed boost. Follow the link to the gallery.

LG introduces unusual S60-based KT610 clamshell

It isn't terribly often that LG dabbles in the wide world of Symbian, so when it does, there's reason to take note. The KT610 features a 2.4 inch VGA (yes, VG frickin' A) display that flips up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. It runs Symbian 9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (we'd have preferred FP2, but what can you do) and also includes integrated GPS and support for HSDPA up to 3.6Mbps. We don't have pictures of this hot little number just yet, but hopefully we'll catch it on display at Mobile World Congress in the next day or two.

Update: Found itty bitty pic and more specs: 2.4-inch QVGA main, 1.45-inch 160 x 64 pixel external display; 2 megapixel camera; Bluetooth 2.0; and May 2008 availability.
