iphone 3g S Lauch Day Crowd

June continues to be an exiting mobile phone month, with plenty of Android news, a new touchscreen Nokia or two and of course, iPhone news aplenty!

1.   Apple iPhone 3G S Out Today…

The latest iPhone is out today in the US and the UK and as with previous launches of the phone, the chance of queues outside stores was likely.  Phone Arena have a couple of candid shots outside the New York Apple Store, where a few potential buyers have gathered, but the Regent Street store shows a different story over at Engadget Mobile!

2.   …How Will it Perform?

In addition to the launch of the N97 and the announcement of the new E72, Nokia have also shown off the 5530 XpressMusic, another touchscreen handset running Symbian S60 5th Edition.  The screen is 2.9″, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and a 3.5mm jack plug.   September is the likely release date.

4.  Android Coming to LG?

It’s going to happen, but the point is, when?  LG have confirmed they have ‘plans’ to launch three Android-powered smartphones this year, but have remained tight-lipped on what the phones will actually be like.  LG, speaking at the CommunicAsia show, also gave the least precise release date ever, Q3/Q4.  So, between now and 2010 then?  Thanks.

5.  Sony Ericsson Satio, Aino and Yari Dates Set.

Although the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog doesn’t give a region, their 28th September release date for the highly anticipated (more…)
