Mobiles Coming Soon 2

LG KC910
The KC910 is LG’s first contribution to the 8 MP market. It’s a newer version of the popular Viewty. Feature-wise it’s quite similar to most of the other handsets I’ve included in this roundup. From a large touchscreen to GPS and media/connectivity features, the KC910 is quite media-rich. Hopefully it won’t require the use of a stylus at all.

Google G1
Finally, a much-awaited Google Android-enabled handset in the form of HTC’s Dream (or G1) has seen the light... officially! The design concept is not something I'm too happy with, but I'm eager to see what Android has to offer first-hand. The slide-out QWERTY keypad will surely come in handy, but hopefully the phone will look more attractive in real life than its pictures seem to indicate. If it does I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong about the design.

HTC Touch HD
Being a vidiot, I consider this phone THE most important in my list. The reason is obvious, considering the large screen and more importantly the resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The other features are very similar to that of the other handsets included here. I’m eager to see HTC’s TouchFlo live on a screen like this.

Physical	115 x 62.8 x 12 mm, 146g
Display	480 x 800, 65k colors, TFT Touchscreen, 3.8 inc, Accelerometer, TouchFLO 3D
Memory	512MB, MicroSD for external
Media	AV player, Voice Recorder, FM radio, TV Out, Reads DivX, Xvid Video, TV Out, 3.5mm earhone socket

I know we’ve talked about these handsets very frequently over the last few months, but that’s only because they’re quite cutting-edge by industry standards. These are my choice of mobiles that I'm most looking forward to seeing in India very soon, and I hope to put them through their paces.
