While Nokia wouldn’t invite us to Nokia World this year, we were fortunate enough to discover a pair of its new X6 handsets on the IFA floor here in Berlin.
On hand were two engineering prototypes, one of which was peeling away from its plastic shell while the other seemed less responsive to our finger-taps than the other. Still, it’s clear that the capacitive touchscreen is far more responsive to human touch than the resistive screens found on its N97, or the 5800 XpressMusic especially.
This was made abundantly clear when using the on-screen keyboard although some of our swiping gestures were inexplicably ignored in other elements of the interface.

We have already seen some of the phones in LGs KF lineup, and now it seems that the company will be showing off a few more phones at next week’s CeBIT show in Germany.
The KF750 codenamed “Libra” appears to be a touchscreen slider with a 5 megapixel camera, VGA cam for video calls, and 160MB of internal memory with a microSD card slot.
As for the KF240 and the KF300, little is known other than the 240 is apparently a music phone with a 2 megapixel camera. At any rate, we should know more in the coming days. Read the rest of this entry »
