  This holiday season we’ve seen several Samsung phones with high-end cameras (3-5 megapixel cameras) including the Samsung Eternity, Samsung Behold and Samsung Omnia i910. Samsung’s rival LG Mobile has been quiet on this front save for the LG Incite. But overseas, LG has just released its own 5-megapixel camera phone, the LG KS660. Here is more info:

LG Electronics has launched a touch screen phone, the LG KS660. A successor of the LG KP500, the phone features 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and 720×480 pixels video recording capability.

The LG KS660 phone measures 105 × 55 × 14.9mm and weights 115g. It comes with a 3.0 inches WQVGA (240 × 400 pixels) touch screen TFT with 260,000 color support. The screen will have accelerometer support and haptic feedback, according to ITnews World Asia’s report. Those who are fond of the Flash UI should be happy to hear that the phone also supports that, like the LG Dare. The LG KS660 comes with built-in multimedia player, 50MB of internal memory, microSDHC memory card expansion, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The LG KS660 Asia version is a triband GSM phone with EDGE support for data. No word yet on if and when it will come to the US market.

The LG Incite came out of left field in a world current dominated by the likes of HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Samsung Omnia and Black Berry Storm touch screen smartphones. It’s interesting that ATT decided to do something a little different and offer the LG Incite CT810 Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro touch screen phone rather than the Diamond or Omnia. The Incite runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and it has every high end feature except a hardware keyboard. There’s a 3 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth with a full set of profiles, and accelerometer, a sharp and outdoor visible display and a Qualcomm 528MHz CPU. Most unusual for a US smartphone is an FM radio– nice! The Phone supports CV streaming media, , AT&T Navigator, AT&T’s Music store and XM Radio Mobile.

The Incite is a slate design touch screen PDA phone– there’s no hardware keyboard. It’s very small and light. In fact it’s about the same size and weight as the Samsung Eternity touch screen feature phone. It’s a shiny bugger, with a bright chrome back and sides and an extremely glossy front face. Alas the chrome is paint over plastic, and the Incite doesn’t look like a pricey piece. The technology inside is good stuff though. We were very impressed to find that the Incite has an accelerometer, haptic (vibration) feedback that’s adjustable to one of three levels, a light sensor to set screen brightness (this can be disabled) and most impressive: a proximity sensor. That feature, previously found on few phones other than the iPhone supposedly due to Apple holding patents, is probably every phone user’s favorite. Place a call and the screen does not immediately turn off. But put the phone to your face and it does turn off. Move the phone away from your face, say to enter a number for a phone tree system, and voila the screen is back on.
