Great news for people who love the outdoors, not during the night but during the broad daylight. That is because the new LG Pop GD510’s solar paneled back relies on sunlight to recharge its battery. The solar panel however will not be a fixed part of the cellphone’s body but an additional accessory most ideal to people who are on the go and care about the nature. The manufacturer claims that you will get about 2 minutes and 15 seconds of talk time or about 3 hours in standby if you leave the phone bask in the sun for just 10 minutes. The phone is also capable of telling you how much carbon emission was saved by recharging using the solar panel. Apart from this the LG Pop GD510 has more environmentally friendly features, one of which is a highly efficient wall charger, in a box made of recycled materials. This cool handset will first be available in Europe.

When LG opened its new office in Amstelveen,  it was to announce its new showroom for public release. The upcoming LG BL20 New Chocolate is gaining popularity not just because of the attractive color variants it currently offers but also because the BL20 has been reported to appear significantly fast that you literally fly through the menu. Although it runs a non-touch version of the S-Class user interface it is reportedly much smoother on the BL20 than it was on the LG Crystal. Aside from this LG also surprised us with its new GW300. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera, microSD card slot and 3.5 mm audio jack. It will come in  3 colors so far; blue, pink and gray with more variants to look forward to. No official release dates has been announced yet by LG

After all the waiting and anticipation for the LG GD910, what do we have here, another watch style phone “concept” from LG. This my friends here is dubbed the LG Oyster designed by Kenny Lohr II. Now I’m not too sure about the design of this for cell phone usage, but this is surely going to be a popular one for the ladies.

Finally after a long wait for all of us LG fans. Announced earlier in the year at the CES in Las Vegas, the cool GD910 has been given FCC approval. Now we dont know which US carrier will be taking this on board, but considering its GSM frequencies, AT&T should just seem like a natural partner. Stay with us, while we dig out more information regarding this much anticipated phone/watch.

Having looked at the initial picture of LG’s new GW300, it just seems to look like something you’d find at a toy store or a mock up of the Blackberry’s as we know it. But in actual fact it could pass as a smartphone in disguise. It packs technological features such as 3G-free EDGE radio, 2.4inch QVGA display, USB mass storage mode support, stereo Bluetooth, and a full QWERTY keyboard. On top of that, theres the all important inetgrated Facebook client, which suggests that this would probably be aimed at the younger end of the market when it gets released. So dont be too shocked if you find this on the shelves of the prepaid section in certain continents.

Earlier we reported on Nokia’s falling profits compared to last year. From most accounts it is predicted that the mobile phone market is likely to shrink in the near future. It is not all bad however. LG Mobile’s first quarter report shows good news.

The Korean based manufacturer reported that although their overall units shipped fell from last year, their profits from the same time as last year have risen by 22.6%. Their heavy hitters that are doing the best for them are the LG KP500 Cookie as well as the text-centric LG KS360. Not surprisingly, in this Global Economic Slowdown consumers are going more towards the mid-range priced phones.

LG plans to continue on on a strong note with their upcoming phones like the LG KM900 Arena and various other more higher line smart phone models.

With this happy news from LG is anyone thinking of opening up their portfolio? Maybe worth considering.

Besides Giz say about the cell phone’s camera’s pixels and quality, the only maker to actually break the norms, coming forward physically with a 12 mega-pixel phone was, as usual, Sony Ericsson with Nokia in far second . Now, LG is following the crew to the new limits with it’s new in-progress 12 mega-pixel phone.

“We’ll very much be releasing a 12MP camera phone… However, it’s important that people realise when taking 12MP images, they’ll be using huge amounts of data, and it will be more difficult to do things like send such files.”

We’ve heard of rugged phones, but this is ridiculous!

The Mobile website mobile@mail.ru put the LG Renoir KC910 through some Bush-level, enhanced interrogation techniques recently. In addition to leaving it in a freezer for 12 hours, dipping into a lovely 2006 Bordeaux and stepping on it, they also ran it over with a car. And to it’s credit the LG Renoir survived the test.

So now current LG Renoir KC910 users and prospective buyers can rest assured that if you want to put your phone into a dryer and not have it break, you probably can.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: TimTechs in no way condones or recommends what you are about see in the following videos and encourages all mobile users to treat their phones with care and respect to enjoy a long lasting and enjoyable cellphone experience.
