LG Incite gets official for South Korea

Mark this day down folks, 'cause it ain't often that you see a handset released in the US of A months ahead of South Korea / Japan / elsewhere in Asia. LG's Incite -- the same one loosed on AT&T's network in November of 2008 -- just got official alongside the new Arena today in South Korea. As expected, it's launching with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, a full touchscreen, WiFi, a multimedia player and that all-important 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. It'll be made available in both black and wine red, and if all goes well, it should hit SK Telecom and KTF in the near future for next to nothing.

This phone looks good on paper but they screwed it up by not optmizing the menus for finger use and then not including a silo for the stylus. You'd need to hang the stylus from your phone like a charm. The HTC and Samsung offerings are much better.

I read an article once saying that WinMo has over 90% of the smartphone marketshare in SK and that currently there is no Symbian phone in there

I was looking at this phone a few weeks ago in the store. I wasn't a big fan. The phone felt like it was crawling along. I guess i was just used to the wife's iphone. Maybe the HTC Fuze, but I can't afford the price tag.

Octantis,

It might have been moving slow if there were applications running in the background. If you hit the task manager in the upper left corner of the screen you can see what is running. That will slow the handset down.
