Okay, now it’s official. After a misstep late last week, LG’s ready to pull the trigger for reals on the Viewty Smart, the follow-on to one of its more successful high-end feature phones in recent memory. Pretty much every major feature has been improved or revamped over the original Viewty, including bumps to WVGA display resolution, an 8 megapixel camera with claimed ISO 1600 sensitivity (we’ll see about that), DVD-quality video recording, LG’s recently-introduced S-Class user interface concept, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, integrated WiFi, AGPS, and 1.5GB onboard with microSD expansion theoretically to 32GB. What’s more, LG has somehow smushed this all into a package just 12.4mm thick, which makes this just about the most desirable non-smartphone on the planet — on paper, anyhow. Look for it to start hitting European carriers next month, with availability elsewhere to be announced later on.

Looks like LG’s about to treat the world to an upgrade of its popular Viewty handset. The Viewty II (aka, GC900) is rumored to be hitting Orange UK sometime in June.

It’s all a tiny bit hazy, but it sounds like a Sony Ericsson PR rep in Germany has confirmed that the 12 megapixel camera-boasting Idou will be hitting the streets in October. Gustaf Brusewitz of Sony Ericsson Sweden didn’t have too much to say about that statement, and only repeated what he’d said in the past — that the Idou will be shipping “sometime in the second half of the year.” Come on Gustaf, throw us a hint!
