LG Viewty Snap almost official, three LGs coming to T-Mobile
T-Mobile is getting a scoopful of affordable LG phones and there's another LG on the verge of becoming official - the LG GM360 Viewty Snap otherwise known as Bali. Two of the LG handsets for T-Mobile are not new models, but rebranded current models - one of the Cookie family and the Lollipop.
The LG GM360 Viewty Snap is an affordable descendant of the Viewty - it's a touch phone with 3-inch screen with 240x400 pixels resolution and a 5MP camera with LED flash.
The LG GM360 Viewty Snap offers just GSM/EDGE network connectivity, but there's Wi-Fi on board, which makes up for that. The Wi-Fi supports the b/g standards and DLNA. The UI appears to be the one used on mid-end LG devices, like the LG KM570 Cookie Gig.
There are mentions of the LG GM360 on LG's site but no official specs or release date yet.
Now, for the T-Mobile bound LGs. The first one is called LG Senio - a rebranded LG GS500 Cookie Plus. What you have to look forward to is a 3" WQVGA touchscreen, 3MP camera and 3G connectivity. There's a slight difference between the LG Senio and the GS500 Cookie Plus - there's an added GPS receiver and it also comes with T-Mobile's web2go and Social Buzz services.
LG Sentio • LG dLite open and closed • LG GS170
Next up is the LG dLite or LG GD580 Lollipop clamshell in new clothes. It packs a 2.8" non-touch WQVGA screen and 3G connectivity. It too has a 3MP snapper and Social Buzz. Both the LG dLite and the LG Senio have a microSD card slot to expand their memories.
Last comes the LG GS170 - another clamshell, but this one is decidedly low-end. It's got a VGA camera, email support and Bluetooth 2.1.
The T-Mobile LG trio will be available this summer.
