Lumigon announces unveiling party for first smartphone, invites everyone on Facebook

Yes, you're invited too. Lumigon wowed us with some simple, sophisticated looking handset renders way back in February, the S1 and the T1, promising things like HDMI output and Android 2.1 -- wild things back then. Just five months on and those features sound a little more pedestrian, so we're wondering how it will stack up when the T1 is finally unveiled in the flesh in another three months, on October 20. It'll be a wild night when the Scandinavian Lumigon crew lets loose its keyboard-free smartphone upon the denizens of Copenhagen. Will any Dane be safe?

[Thanks, Jakob]

hey, I'm down. although I thought this may have been more about the nokia punching clown phone again for a second . . . thats one exciting piece of technology.

[MrKnowItAll Posted Jul 27th 2010 5:25PM]

@bolezhinkov The UI looks very sexy: http://bit.ly/9cp2qF

[Scrubs Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:48PM]

Sexy

[EggoEspada Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:49PM]

@Scrubs Sexy indeed..

[Landon Donovan Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:01PM]

@EggoEspada Very Sexy indeed..

[normanb20 Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:37PM]

@Scrubs
Much like the Danes that will be carrying it in københavn

[DrScope Posted Jul 27th 2010 5:12PM]

@Scrubs If it was just the black part it would be but since it's also the white part...

[wisausnk Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:49PM]

It looks awsone and simple but Facebook I don't know.

[metafor Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:50PM]

Looks nice until you realize the white part is also part of the body.

[Templarian Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:20PM]

@metafor, just looked at another picture. Yep, got a lot uglier.

[cdsfire Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:50PM]

Looks nice! Do you have any other pictures?

[QUiTOS Posted Jul 28th 2010 2:52AM]

@cdsfire If you click on the source ir will take you to the Facebook page, then click on the profile picture, and there is another picture of the phone slide-ed up, so you can actually see the keyboard

[paul34 Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:56PM]

Man, how far phones have come when I actually find that design slightly dated.

[n8equalsd Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:58PM]

I totally forgot about this phone.

[zeeshan117 Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:58PM]

looks cool dudes!

[PathogenX Posted Jul 27th 2010 12:58PM]

WOW! I have to say that is probably the sexiest looking phone I have bestowed my eyes upon.

It really nice. It's gorgeous.

[LANjackal Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:00PM]

Really beautiful. Looks like the Droid X's hotter cousin

[Lethallax Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:05PM]

This will never sell that much

[samiles Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:20PM]

All Danes are always safe - they have magical powers.

[TareG Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:20PM]

1) Windows Logo.... (Seriously, how uninformed was the 3D designer)
2) It's too thick, you just can't notice it because its bulk is white, with a white background.

[DrScope Posted Jul 27th 2010 5:11PM]

@TareG WOW did not notice the white part 2!! Holy crap that thing is BIG. must have the weight of 2 iPhones.

[JonCha Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:21PM]

I honestly wouldn't say this is any nicer than the iPhone 4. Looks like two blocks smashed together.

[DrDr Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:26PM]

Meh.

[codepink Posted Jul 27th 2010 1:46PM]

Not impressed.

[Nephlim Posted Jul 27th 2010 3:07PM]

It will fail

[darkmax Posted Jul 27th 2010 3:54PM]

For some reason it reminds me a lot of Sony Ericsson Aino

[fokka Posted Jul 27th 2010 6:11PM]

@darkmax ai dont no...

[TheIndyGamer Posted Jul 27th 2010 6:12PM]

if engadget pays me ill go cover it: P

[fokka Posted Jul 27th 2010 6:12PM]

if it was only the black part, but with the white back it doesnt look that good...

[StalkyTheFish Posted Jul 27th 2010 7:20PM]

Damn. Makes the iPhone look like a crack-whore.

[firethorn Posted Jul 27th 2010 7:40PM]

I don't know, looks pretty cheap to me. Maybe we have a positive surprise with this one but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Aklex7 Posted Jul 27th 2010 9:26PM]

The phone is nice,
the UI doesn't look that great :(

[Masterdebated Posted Jul 27th 2010 11:55PM]

I hope its not vaporware. Remember Else?

[Ethereal Posted Jul 28th 2010 7:40AM]

It says it's the U N Cells Chairman UI. Not the Lumigon one.

[Rukor Posted Jul 28th 2010 1:21PM]

That phone is hot - I will be in line for one! Wonder if the pre-order thing will be for Danes only or if it will be world wide...
