“The LG Quantum offers a horizontal QWERTY keypad designed for productivity. The phone also includes DLNA multimedia sharing, an augmented reality application and voice recognition.”

The LG Quantum is a traditional-looking Windows Phone 7 device; LG didn’t go crazy with this design, but it looks solid and functional. It will be available from AT&T for $199 (presumably a contract price). The keyboard looks large and functional, though that’s always something that needs to be experienced in person to get a feel for.

• 3.5″, 800×480 touchscreen
• 119.5 mm x 59.5 mm x 15.22 mm185g
• 16GB internal storage
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD 8650 1 GHz
• Battery life – Talk time: 7 hrs/Standby: 466 hrs
• 5MP camera / 720p HD video
• Horizontal qwerty
• DLNA
• Augmented Reality
• Speech to text

More (and BIG) photos after the break.

Rumour has it that the Samsung Propel Pro (SGH-i627) will be dropping in on AT&T this week.

This Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (no touchy?) slider phone slides open to reveal a cute little QWERTY! It looks very neat, but is intended to be a low-end device — no wifi, camera is less than 1MP, small screen (only 2.2inches, 320×320), but it does have UMTS/HSDPA 3G, aGPS and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a microSD slot with SDHC compatibility for use with cards up to 32GB in size.

After long last the successor to Pantech’s popular Duo handset (AT&T) has finally shown it’s face.

The new Pantech Matrix PRO features HSDPA (up from UMTS), integrated GPS with AT&T Navigator, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, Video Share support, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. It’s a bit big — 23mm thick — but here’s why: Dual keyboard sliding ability — one with a QWERTY, one with a number pad. At nearly 23mm thick, it’s not the thinnest smartphone in the world — that honor supposedly belongs to the Nokia E55.

The Pantech Matrix PRO’s prices and availability are unknown but stay tuned!

Purely touchscreen devices such as the Touch Diamond and the new Touch Diamond2 rely solely on a good onscreen keyboard.

The Touch Diamond’s on screen keyboard (available in T9, SureType, and QWERTY) is quite usable as an alternative to a hardware keyboard. Well, it’s no surprise that the new Touch Diamond2’s on screen keyboard has been even more improved over the native WinMo built in onscreen keyboard! Check out the new images of the HTC Touch Diamond2’s keyboard after the jump – elongated space bar, smaller number function key, d-pad button inclusion. Sweet!

The relatively unheard of Pantech Duo 2 has made its first appearance on the FCC database. And, as often is the case, some unnamed someone was there to snap some high-resolution pictures of the shiny new device for us to oogle!

Sadly, it seems that the shiny bit is one of the only improvements over the original Pantech Duo: QWERTY, dual band 850/1900, GSM/EDGE/WCDMA (supports AT&T’s 3G network), 2MP camera (with video capture), Bluetooth, microSD… nothing new, really but Windows Mobile 6.1.

No news on the launch date or pricing as the device has yet to be confirmed by Pantech or AT&T.
