Gold coloured and superslim from LG this spring
We had a first look at these phones. LG will show them official first later during the spring. LG has tried to make the new phones with style and music in focus.
M6100 - sliding media mobile phone
M6100 is almost shaped as lighter and looks rather like a mp3-player than a traditional mobile phone. The model is sliding type and the keypad appears when sliding down from the back of the display. Even thought the model carries similarities with other sliding type M6100 feels more square shaped, thicker depth and slimmer width.
This particular phone is silver-coloured, but will be released in a gold- coloured version in Sweden as well. On it' s front cover it's a distinguished marking with MP3 and there is much truly a built-in musicplayer that handles the formats Mp3, AAC, AAC+ and you can use mp3 files as ring tones if you like. When you transfer music, or other files for that matter, the phone works as a usb-memory and in other words it means you just drag the files from the computer.
The camera is a 1,3 megapixel and there is a proper flash, unlike earlier versions were you had a lamp with a firm light in order to lighten up the subject.
G220 - secret and and with rounded edges
G220 is the cheapest among these three models even though the prices aren' t yet set. Folded it looks rounded and chubby and the surface is shiny and black. The one we tried was a non-working prototype, but it shows how the original version will look like. We were not allowed to take any pictures at this mobile phone though.
The selection of functions in G220 is in accordance with the lower price. On the other hand you are able to download java program and the web browser handles xhtml-pages. Along with the others it will be released during the second quarter this year.
G320 - unique and angular
Most attention causes the model G320, a model that suits the shirt pocket. If the rounded cheaper model G220 principally attract the female buyers the G320 will attract the men. The format is square-shaped and slim, the phone is approximately 7-8 mm thick. The square-shaped format is by tradition strong in Scandinavia, but over the last few years the slide- and clamshell phone and the demand is increasing.
Niklas Casserstedt at LG describes the phone as a unique mobile phone with a traditional format.
- It' s all about standing out and you can say that about G320, he says.
Like M6100 there are both music player and megapixelcamera in this slim version and the camera is able to take digital pictures and video. The camera is equipped with a flash.
