LG GW600 with WinMo, 20-key layout for AT&T gets FCC approval
So that 20-key LG GW600 "HQ" we spied in an AT&T slide deck not long ago is now looking very real indeed, now that the FCC has seen fit to rubber-stamp it and send it on its way. 20-key layouts have always been an acquired taste, granted -- but with WiFi, 3G, and GPS, this looks to be just about the most attractive WinMo Standard handset in the game whenever AT&T gets around to launching it. Is it really running Standard, though? Our leaked slide said as much, but the manual makes repeated mention of handwriting support on the display. Either way, it's possible we're looking at a draft manual here with swaths of text stolen from another model (it happens pretty frequently), so it's hard to nail down an exact feature set without this one finding its way onto eBay or AT&T shelves, whichever comes first.[Via Phone Scoop]
LG bringing 20-key, WinMo-powered HQ to AT&T?
The Jack's just fine and dandy if you want a WinMo Standard device on AT&T with a portrait QWERTY keyboard, but what if you're, say, coming from a Pearl? Odds are you're pretty comfortable with a SureType-style 20-key layout, and that's what the GW600 HQ from LG promises. This device sorta made the rounds -- albeit covertly -- at MWC a few months back, and we hadn't taken it as a likely candidate for American release, but this slide seems to prove us wrong. It's got triband 3G, a 2 megapixel cam, microSD expansion up to 16GB, Windows Mobile 6.1, 320 x 240 non-touch display, and a lofty target date of July 6, which might give you just a little more pause before you make that Jack buy. Follow the break for a closer look at those 20 glorious keys -- along with the rest of the HQ.
