LG Electronics introduces the LG-KT610 Symbian smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2008 (MWC 2008) in Barcelona.

The LG LG-KT610 is a GPS-enabled, candy bar style 3G HSDPA phone is featuring a 2.4 inch color screen VGA screen and QWERTY keyboard.

The LG-KT610 is based on Symbian OS v9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1.
Why LG is making a Symbian phone is beyond me. Rather focus on Linux or Windows, but Symbian? Even Nokia bought themselves now a mobile Linux expert with Trolltech.

There is no photo available yet of the LG-KT610.

The Mobile World Congress 2008 (former 3GSM) will open officially on the 11th of February. We will keep you updated on all interesting mobile technology announcements at the MWC 2008 in our Mobile Phone section.
