Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology leader in mobile communications, unveiled its latest high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) smartphone, the LG-KS20 at IFA 2007 in Berlin, Germany last week.

Smartphones captured the attention of show goers this year, and among these phones the LG-KS20 stood out, garnering acclaim from media and technology enthusiasts alike for its mobile internet capabilities. The phone’s full touchscreen interface gives it unparalleled usability and a top download speed of 3.6 Mbps provides an internet experience like no other.

“More and more customers are using the internet while on the go. HSDPA technology is just one of the features we included in the LG-KS20 to enhance their mobile internet experience,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The LG-KS20 clearly demonstrates that LG is the leader in global 3G mobile technology. LG will continue to introduce advanced products that are second-to-none in the mobile industry.”

“We’re very excited that LG is launching its first Windows Mobile-powered device in Europe. The LG-KS20 with Windows Mobile 6 offers people a truly enhanced mobile internet experience and is yet another great example of innovation on the Windows Mobile platform,” said Marianne Roling, EMEA Director, Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft. “Coupled with familiar applications such as Windows Live™ and Office Mobile, LG is helping to define a category of mobile devices with an impressive range of entertainment and productivity options for consumers as well as business users.”

Compatibility with the highly advanced HSDPA network gives users the full benefits of the mobile internet, including downloading music, video clips and Windows Live™ content, as well as push e-mail, all at a blistering 3.6 Mbps. The high speed capability also makes video calls possible, taking advantage of the phone’s second, user-facing camera.

Though it is only 12.8 mm thick, the LG-KS20 smartphone has room to incorporate an intuitive touch input interface, accessible on its large LCD screen, making it easier and more enjoyable to use. The minimalist, glossy black handset will appeal to those who admire a phone for its design as much as its features.

The phone is also equipped with a host of other advanced features such as handwriting recognition, Wi-Fi connectivity, 128MB internal memory, support for MicroSD external memory and Bluetooth 2.0. It is powered by Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6 software.

The LG-KS20 will be available in Europe from October this year.
