LG Incite announced on AT&T

As rumoured, LG’s Incite, an upgraded GSM version of the Dare, has launched on AT&T for $199.99 after rebates. A 3″ 240 x 400 touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with aGPS, 3G, Wi-Fi and Windows Mobile 6.1 all come standard on the Incite. This is LG’s first Windows Mobile handset, marking their clear entrance into the smartphone market. They’re in a similar boat as Nokia (NYSE: NOK), since they found a solid foundation with feature phones and have a fair way to go to reach the high-end smartphone market, but LG chose Windows Mobile rather than a proprietary OS. Clearly Android hasn’t reached a maturity level high enough for LG to seriously consider putting it on their hardware, despite being a member of the Open Handset Alliance. The screen’s not massively impressive, but if you find yourself incited to buy this phone, head on over to AT&T’s online store, or swing by your closest retailer.

LG Incite looks as good as it sounds: a sophisticated, sleek design, a crystal-clear 3-inch touch screen and a 3.0 megapixel camera and camcorder that enables consumers to send and enjoy memories at the touch of a button. Users have a choice of on-screen virtual keyboards — a full, QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode and a 20-key keyboard in portrait view — with haptic keys that provide vibration feedback. The Incite also offers users choice in terms of screen navigation by simply using their fingers to move through the Incite’s friendly user interface, the scroll button to the upper right of the screen or the included stylus.

Overall it’s a great phone.
