We first saw the LG GF900 Crystal back at MWC 2009. Its LGs sexy phone with the transparent keyboard, which gives it a luxurious look. Those who have been captivated by it in the UK should be able to pick up the device in mid-May, since Carphone Warehouse has confirmed that they will be releasing the device then.

The GD900 features LG’s S-Class Touch UI, an 8-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, TV-out and Dolby Mobile audio technology. The display and transparent sliding keypad should support multi-touch input and handwriting recognition as well.

The LG Versa’s QWERTY module is great and everything, but if you’re ready for some games, you may be ready for the snap-on game pad, which is now available. Unlike the QWERTY, the game pad module slides along the back of the phone’s body for storage, not requiring the brown wallet.

You’ll get an 8-way directional pad, four dedicated gaming buttons, and some sore fingers if you don’t take a break now and then. It will cost you $29.99.

The latest XCanvas home theater from LG looks pretty futuristic and is available in two different varieties. The HT964TZ (5.1ch) and HT564DG (2.1ch) come in the unique form of a glass of champagne with a red wine color.

Both models support only DVDs with LG’s state of the art upscaling technology. No price on these yet, but just look at them, they are sure to be an expensive non-Blu-ray option. Currently they are only available in Korea.

The LG Viewty II is now official, and along with a bunch of specs, it arrives with a new name: The Viewty Smart. Will it live up to its namesake? Have a look at the specs and decide for yourself.

The Viewty Smart features an S-Class 3D UI, 3″ WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) touchscreen display, Quad-band GSM/HSPA, Wi-Fi connectivity, aGPS navigation, 8-megapixel Schneider-Kreuznach camera, Xenon flash, 32GB storage, and DivX playback.

LG is proudly announcing that they have successfully made a lot of money off 20 million QWERTY cell phones around the globe. We don’t have any other breakdown on the data, like how many candybar, clamshell or slider form factors sold the most.

The most successful QWERTY devices include the enV series that sold over 8 million units in North America alone along with the Rumor series that sold 6 million units in North America. It’s quite a milestone for LG. You might say that the QWERTY bird gets the worm.

Just your typical viral marketing ad. What’s interesting about this one is that it shows off a bunch of TV Advancements during an LG presentation. The first one replaces all swear words with baby laughter, while a “Happy Time” feature detects when a program is too sad for you and replaces the image on screen with images of cute puppies or kittens.

The last one is the Family Time feature that turns any adult themed scene into a cartoon, which would make porn something entirely different.

This is interesting, but not entirely surprising. The LG Versa was built to be modular after all. It’s just that the only module we’ve seen so far is the QWERTY keyboard. That could change with this upcoming game controller that resembles an NES controller.

Starting April 1st you can get one for $29. We don’t think it’s an April Fools’ joke, but we’ll see. This means that you can turn the LG VX9600 into a nice looking gaming device for only $29. The only problem we see is, uh… a lack of games.

LG’s Rumor 2 is no longer a rumor at all having finally launched exclusively on Sprint. What does it bring to the party? A slide-out QWERTY keypad, QVGA display, 1.3 megapixel camera, and a removable backplate. Comes in either Black Titanium and Vibrant Blue.

The Black Titanium can be found at Sprint’s website on March 15th, while the Vibrant Blue edition will be available on March 29th. If you hate the web, you can drop your $49.99 (on contract) on April 19th.

It’s always nice when your phone has some extra bells and whistles, but we tend to forget that the most important feature of your phone is it’s 911 functionality. That’s why LG must be feeling a bit embarrassed that around 30,000 LG 830 Spyder handsets are having a tough time dialing for help.

A product recall notes that a huge number of them have “difficulty sustaining a connection or have poor voice quality on calls to emergency 911.” On the up side, LG is acting responsibly, as it has only received a single report that did not result in any injuries.

Today the LG Versa has been officially announced. To recap, the phone features a 3-inch(480 x 240)touch screen, an attachable QWERTY keypad, a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, and flash.

The phone also boasts a music player that can run while you are performing other tasks, a microSD slot capable of holding up to 16GB and Bluetooth 2.1. Some other features include mobile IM for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, web browsing with Flash compatibility, VCast music and is VZ Navigator-capable.

This new monitor from LG is apparently only available in Japan at the moment. The W2261VG boasts a Full HD resolution TN panel LCD with 1000:1 contrast, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 160/170 viewing angles rating. Flip the switch and the 2ms rated panel can extend its 1000:1 contrast rating of up to 50k:1; revealing more details in darkly lit scenes.

As far as connectivity, it features HDMI, VGA and a HDCP compliant DVI-D digital port. Looks like its more suited for gaming and multimedia. It’s available now in Japan for $227.

Looks like LG has two new Scarlet sets coming, both with integrated Bluetooth. Pretty girl not included as usual. To start, the LH70 line will consist of two models, a 42 incher that’s 39.7mm thin and a 47 incher that’s 40.9mm thin.

Each will feature a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz technology, 2 millisecond response time, a USB port for connecting external media, touch sensitive power button, DivX compatibility and an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness to adjust to the room that you are viewing in and conserve energy.

The LG GD900 has just been unveiled, and the transparent keypad phone is a real looker. It’s definitely a first. The phone is just 13mm thick and features a slide out keypad that’s see through, knocking the iPhone dead as far as cool looks. It may be crystal clear, but the LG GD900 keypad will still glow if you are in the dark.

There aren’t many details about what’s going on inside other than HSDPA, but it’s due out Q2 this year. We do know that there’s a second camera on the front for video calls, and we’re guessing it’s also a music phone, with a proper headphone jack and may have Dolby Mobile inside.

Looks like LG isn’t going to have any secrets left where the Arena KM900 is concerned by the time Mobile World Congress comes around on Monday. They’ve released some more info, mostly having to do with multitouch capabilities for image and web page zooming and the like.

It features a dedicated multimedia chip and names for each side of the interface’s 3D cube. Those names are: phone, widgets, shortcuts, and multimedia. Get this. The UI “took 100 man years to develop”. Chuckle. At this rate, we will learn all there is to know before Monday.

Finally, after all of it’s teasing, LG has officially announced it will launch the LG Arena KM900 flagship at MWC 09 in Barcelona. They also announced some new features, while confirming Wi-Fi and A-GPS capability. The LG Arena will also support 7.2 MBps HSDPA data throughput.

It will come with “Dolby and Divx technologies… and feature audio and video technologies never before seen on a mobile phone”. The real interesting thing is their new 3D S-Class user interface: A cube-based layout that will give you four customizable home screens for direct access to all features on intuitive, touch-based 3D menus.
