LG Electronics has launched its first Android-based handset on the market in Italy under the name of LG LinkMe. The LG LinkMe landed in Italy with Android 1.5 on board, the same as the original GW620, and is priced at €299 (around $400). Although a rather affordable device, the LG GW620 still packs a lot of appealing features, including a 3-inch resistive touchscreen display that boasts a 320 x 480 pixel (HVGA) resolution, and a side sliding QWERTY keyboard.
LG LinkMe also includes a 5.0-megapixel photo snapper with 4x zoom capabilities and video recording, an ARM11 processor inside, coupled with 512 MB of NAND flash memory and 256 MB of SDRAM RAM, a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
Other specs of the handset also include HSPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and USB 2.0 capabilities, built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS, FM Radio, 3.5mm headset jack, support for SMS, MMS, EMS, Email (SMTP, POP3) and IM, as well as media player with support for AAC, AAC+, AMR, MP3, WAV and WMA audio files and for DivX, H.263, H.264, MP4 and WMV video files.
