PhoneArena has spotted new photos of the LG Neon with a bold AT&T logo at the top. From the official press pics out there, the launch of the AT&T Neon can not be very far off the form of the LG KS360. Â The phone boasts 2.4 inch QVGA, 240 x 320 touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, 15 mb of internal memory plus expandable microSD, Bluetooth, FM radio.
The LG Neon will be target to the young. The phone provides a handy QWERTY keyboard for fast text input so it clearly focussed for teens who prefer to live out a life of texting. Sadly, no word on release date and price.
Toshiba on Tuesday anounced their latest Windows Mobile device. Toshiba TG01 will be the fastest phone available and also be thinner than the iPhone as Toshiba claimed. The phone sporting a 4.1-inch touchscreen, with WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, measuring 9.9mm thick. The screen also contains many of Toshiba’s HDTV technologies, such as colour matching, dynamic gamma correction and LCD backlight control. Toshiba’s new GUI is aimed for one-handed use, with finger-friendly vertical panels that can be swiped through and rotated like vertical blinds.
The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon and is the first device to use Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon QSD2850 chipset. The phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 but will have a customized front-end and full support for Flash-based video as well as DivX. That might turn some readers off the TG01.  About 512MB of storage will be onboard but can be supplemented by microSD cards. Moreover, the phone is running 3G HSPA, WiFi, GPS and A-GPS.
The Toshiba TG01 also features Toshiba’s own 3D user interface and it claim to be working with several to produce downloadable, internet-enabled games. The video and gaming running on the demo TG01 handsets were both smooth, slick and high-resolution, even in the less than ideal lighting environment.
