LG bringing Amudsen Android phone to China
LG on Wednesday announced it will soon release a new Android phone exclusively sold through China Mobile, the GW880. Also known as the Amundsen, after South Pole explorer Roald Amundsen, the handset runs on China's TD-SCDMA network and sports a 3.5-inch, 800x480 touchscreen, along with a GPS receiver, Bluetooth, and a 5-megapixel camera.
There will otherwise be a CMMB mobile TV tuner and access to a China Mobile-approved app store. Despite the announcement, LG hasn't released a price for the LG Amundsen, though the smartphone is expected to come to China Mobile before the end of November. There is no word if or when LG will bring the device to other markets. [via Akihabara]
