LG have been showing off their new LG LH2300 smartphone. Part phone, part Internet tablet, the LH2300 comes packed with some serious features, as you’d expect. It’s most obvious claim to fame is the huge 3 inch touchscreen, featuring a glorious 800 x 480 pixel widescreen VGA resolution that makes browsing the Web on your mobile seem just as good as it does on your desktop (well, according to LG it does, anyway!)

The LG LH2300 also comes with mobile TV (T-DMB), Bluetooth 2.0 and a 3 megpixel camera complete with face recognition. More intriguingly, it may, or may not, come with one of those fancy projected keyboard jobbies…

Samsung have announced a new phone with an odd name The phone in question is called the Samsung Miniskirt Season 2 (or the even-less intuitive SCH-C225, SPH-C2205, and SPH-C2255), a title that contains not a hint of the gadget it actually refers to. Looking nothing like a mini-skirt, the new Samsung phone is being pitched firmly at women, who apparently like to Talk, Play, Love.

More details and pictures of the Samsung Miniskirt phone (and girls in miniskirts, naturally) after the jump.

LG has announced the new LG LB3300, or, to give it its much fancier name, the LG Rhapsody in Music. Obviously, the clue’s in the title, so it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that LG’s latest phone is a music phone, designed to take on the Sony Ericsson Walkman phones.

And if features are anything to go by, it doesn’t just take them on, it trounces them into the ground! More pictures and details of the LG Rhapsody in Music phone after the jump.

Samsung have announced the Samsung SPH-W2400, a sliding phone with a superb AMOLED display. AMOLED provides a much sharper image than traditional LCD or TFT displays, which is handy, given that the W2400 also supports DMB mobile TV.

Of course, this being a Samsung phone, that’s not all it comes with. As well as AMOLED and mobile TV, you also get HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, a multimedia player, and a camera, although only a 2 megapixel version.

Unfortunately, the Samsung W2400 is only available in Korea, and even there, only in a limited run of 1,000 units. Price is expected to be 500,00 WON (or 367 Euros), should you be in South Korea and interested in buying one.

LG have launched the new super-fast LG SH150 phone. LG have been a bit quiet recently, but the SH150 shows their still on top form. Featuring S-DMB mobile TV, mobile banking, electronic dictionary, a subway map and a plethora of other features, the SH150 is, as you’d expect, fully loaded.

Best of all, though, is the data transfer rates the SH150 can sustain – a full 7.2Mbps using HSDPA.

Unfortunately, it’s only available in Korea at the moment, but then that’s probably just as well, as no network outside of Korea could support that kind of speed!

Casio have released their new Casio W53CA Exilim camera phone. Featuring a 5.1 megapixel camera that’s based on Casio’s well-respected Exilim brand of digital cameras, the W53CA sees Casio take on Sony Ericsson’s Cyber Shot brand of camera phones.

Among the features of the the W53CA are auto-focus and image stabilization to prevent blurred pictures when taking snaps of your mates when you’ve had one too many!

The phone itself is a standard clamshell, and none too pretty at that. In fact, it looks like most other Japanese phones.

Casio is releasing the W53CA in the Korean market at the moment, which gives me a bit of a dilemma: do I file this under “Japanes phones” or “Korean phones”?! Oh what the heck, I’ll file it under both!

No news yet on whether they’ll be releasing it in Europe or the States.

This is the GPlus GP800 mobile phone, which looks, it has to be said, stunning. Featuring a completely mirror-like screen when switched off, the GP800 lights into life when a call comes in or the user touches any of the buttons.

Other companies have made mobile phones with a mirror-like exterior surface before, but none have made their phone’s screen look so completely invisible. The mirror-like surface is so perfect, you’d be forgiven for thinking the phone does nothing more than make and receive calls – how could it do any more, there’s no screen!

But not a bit of it – the GP800 is actually a well-featured phone, and its looks certainly make it stand out from any other designer phone/

Samsung have announced another new phone, the Samsung SPH-W2400. The W2400 has the usual array of great features that you’d expect from a Samsung phone: HSDPA, 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, DMB mobile TV, Bluetooth, TV Out, etc.

What’s more interesting, though, is its form factor. The W2400 slides forward like a normal slider, and then swivels again so that the screen is twisted horizontally for better TV viewing.

Just when you thought you’d seen every mobile phone feature possible, Korean mobile networks have come up with some bizarre new services for their mobile phone subscribers.

The first is a mobile fish finder.

Yes, you read correctly – a fish finder! It’s a float-shaped ultrasonic transmitter that you attach to your mobile phone and to your fishing line. You can then use your mobile phone to see the location of any fish and also the depth and temperature of the water!

Not crazy enough for you? How about a mobile phone that also repels mosquitoes!

Samsung has finally launched the Samsung Ultra Edition 5.9, so called because, at just 5.9mm thin, it’s the world’s slimmest mobile phone. The Ultra 5.9 was first announced a few months back, and manages to achieve a thinness previously thought impossible (due in large part to the size of the internal aerial, which Samsung has managed to shrink using magic!).

The Ultra 5.9, though small, is surprisingly feature-laden and sturdy. It comes with a 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth, and even an electronic dictionary.

On sale now in Korea only at the moment, but expected to go on sale in other markets across the world in a few months’ time.
