LG GW880

LG is working on the Android-based GW880 smartphone for China Mobile. As you can see from the image above — and more bellow — it will be an all-touchscreen device that will run OPhone “version” of Android, which is specially tailored for the world’s largest mobile operator.

Specs wise, the GW880 comes with China Mobile-specific 3G radio (TD-SCDMA) as well as EDGE data support, 3.5-inch touchscreen (WVGA? – sounds too ambitious, though you never know), Bluetooth, 5-megapixel camera, 256MB of RAM coupled with 512MB of ROM. Sounds cool and I’m wondering when will LG release this baby outside of China. There’s certainly interest in Android-powered handsets, and if it really comes with an WVGA display, I would want one. ;)
