LG isn’t just rehashing hardware announced at Mobile World Congress at CommunicAsia (although they are pushing the watch phone, Style, GM730 and everything else they announced in Barcelona) – the GW550 is a new handset that’s squarely targeting the enterprise crowd with distinctly BlackBerryish looks. LG is staying mum on a lot of the details, but it’ll be running Windows Mobile 6.1, packing a 3 megapixel camera, a QVGA display, and HSUPA/HSDPA connectivity. In the Windows Mobile sphere, the GW550 will be butting heads most directly with the upcoming HTC Snap, but those looking for a bigger keyboard may sooner eyeball the Touch Pro 2 or the Omnia 2. No information on release dates or carriers, as usual, but no doubt we’ll get something in good time.
