LG goes Android

LG Electronics said on Tuesday that the cellphone market was holding up despite the global slump and announced plans to launch three models powered by Google's Android operating system this year.
 
could prove interesting...although having burned my fingers with lg three years ago, I can safely say that unless these phones prove to have a spectacular build quality will just walk right by
 
Yeah, about time... Android rocks, we just need some cheaper models - HTC is not known for cost effective handsets.

We have seen that Vodacom & MTN have not passed the Android savings on to the market. Let's hope LG will team up with Virgin/Cell-C and brings us the savings.

LG will not cut prices for the sake of expanding its market share in handsets, he said.

Oh, faaark. Sorry boys.
 
looks like there will be 18-20 Android handsets on the market by years end...
Samsung are launching an Android phone which sounds pretty awesome - if it lives up to the hype:

"The Samsung I7500 is a cutting-edge smartphone, featuring a 3.2” AMOLED full touch screen and 7.2Mbps HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, giving users access to Google™ Mobile services and full web browsing at blazing speeds.

Samsung I7500 comes with latest multimedia features. The large and vivid 3.2“AMOLED display ensures the brilliant representation of multimedia content and enjoyable full touch mobile experience. Along with supporting a 5-megapixel camera and various multimedia codec formats, the I7500 also provides a long enough battery life (1500mAh) and generous memory capacity up to 40GB (Internal memory: 8GB, External memory: Up to 32GB) to enjoy all the applications and multimedia content. The phone also boasts its slim and compact design with mere 11.9mm thickness."

-- slimmer than the iPhone...
 
I am so happy with my android phone... have had it since January and it works hundreds... the market is full of free apps and the dev environment is awesome.
 
I'm hoping to get an Android, LG or not - just digg the idea that all (most?) Android phones are touchscreen devices that still has a 5way nav button/trackball!

Wasn't the LG ks360 supposed to get the 'droid treatment? Touchscreen AND qwerty!!
