The friendly boys over at SlashGear present some nice walkthroughs and demos of the LG touchscreen beauties we’ve been rambling on about.  If it isn’t obvious, this geek is wishing he was fondling LG phones at the IFA right about now.

First up the “Viewty” KU990, which will pop up in the UK first (darn).  From the press release:

“Viewty (KU990): The Viewty, a professional-level phone, includes features found on many high-end stand-alone cameras, including a manual focus option, an image stabilizer and an ISO 800 for indoor or night shooting. The phone also records video at up to 120 frames per second, the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera, which can be edited and uploaded directly to YouTube. A 3.0-inch touch screen and Mobile XD™ engine provide a wider and more vivid display while a jog wheel on the back maximizes usability. An attached stylus allows users to digitally “write” on photos and edit their own files.”

Then the KS20.  Thought LG couldn’t do better?  Meet the love-child of the Prada phone and WinMo 6.  From the press release:

“KS20: The KS20, LG’s latest slim smartphone, is designed to enrich the mobile internet experience. It features full internet browsing capabilities, and downloads everything from music and video clips to push e-mail at speed of 3.6 Mbps through HSDPA. It also allows for advanced features like videoconferencing, taking advantage of the phone’s dual cameras. The KS20’s minimalist concept will appeal to those who admire a phone for its design as much as its features. The phone uses an intuitive touch input technology and large LCD screen to maximize its internet usability. The handset is powered by Microsoft’s Windows Mobile® 6 software.”
