Although LG did not specific the device model, the three new smartphones include a full touchscreen device, a touch slider with QWERTY keyboard and a QWERTY bar-type handset (LG-GW550). The phones will be introduced initially for early adopter customers in Europe, the United States and Asia before being made available globally.

“This initial launch is a strong testament that LG is committed to offering a spectrum of choices for our broad range of customers,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Our work with Microsoft on mobile devices reflects our strategy of offering the best in both hardware and software in all our smartphones.”

Launched in July, the LG Application Store (http://www.lgapplication.com) will offer add-ons for all three devices as well as future LG smartphone devices. The site expects to offer up to 2,000 downloadable applications by the end of year.
