LG's Joy does Symbian S60 and HSDPA, too

Step aside Samsung i520 and Nokia N95, you've got company. That's right, LG's first Symbian S60 slider rides the glossy success of their Chocolate phones and is said to feel remarkably light considering the kit packed within. No official announcement has been made, but from the looks of reports spillin' outta London's Symbian Smartphone Show, the Joy is set to deliver Symbian OS v9 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, a 2.4-inch LCD screen, GSM / EDGE / HSDPA radios, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a full xHTML browser, microSD expansion slot, a 2 megapixel camera for snaps and a second shooter for VGA quality video calls. Damn near identical specs as the Sammy. But you won't hear us complaining about choice, albeit not ours, since we won't likely be screaming for Joy Stateside anytime soon.
