What do you get when you cross an LG enV(2) with the Symbian S60 operating system? A: The LG KT610, a phone I really wish was coming to America.  This GSM device can work in the States but the 3G data is not U.S. backed so the web browser and other services just won't be the same as when using the device overseas.

LG's Dare for Verizon might well be the best camera phone currently available through a US carrier. And oh yeah, it's got a full touchscreen and 3.5mm headphone jack. Dare is hot.

If it was for sale it'd cost two grand. But it's not for sale. Well, maybe. It's the gold-plated Iron Man phone from LG - think Shine in red with extra bling.

LG enV2 - Verizon Wireless - Hands on @ CTIA '08

LG enV2 - Verizon Wireless - Hands on @ CTIA 08
Slimmer, sleeker, and sexier. The original enV was a very cool phone that felt like a brick. The enV(2) keeps the cool but sheds some size. And it's cheaper than the original, too. enV2 offers a dedicated music button, larger numbers,opens to a larger screen and QWERTY keyboard.
