Eagle-eyed Arne from TheUnwired spotted a new, still unannounced LG smartphone, KS500, at FCC’s and GCF’s websites. Why do they think it’s a smartphone? Well, LG’s so-far-used naming scheme suggests that “KS” prefix has been used exclusively for smartphones. However, there’s no information available which mobile OS the Korean giant will use. All we know is that the upcoming device (if it ever gets released) will sport a QVGA screen (240×320 pixels), Bluetooth support, tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and single-band UMTS/HSDPA.

Let the speculations begin. Will LG opt for Symbian, Windows Mobile or Android? It’s hard to tell at this stage, but boy, do we want them to bring second Android phone to the market or what. They did sign-up for the Open Handset Alliance, after all. We’re watching closely…
