It's finally here - the iPhone 3G. No, we mean that literally. It's finally at our office and boy, are we excited! GPS, HSDPA purring under the new iPhone hood with a hefty number of software enhancements.

But all them software goodies are available for the first-gen iPhone too - so is it worth the fuss? It may as well be, but we never know before we take it out for a spin.

* No memory card slot (but knowing Apple there will never be one)

LG KT610 is LG's way of saying the communicator class isn't reserved for insanely expensive high end devices. Packing a large full-QWERTY keyboard and neat and simple looks, the S60 Symbian handset spells business. It might have a few features missing but a frown at the spec sheet may as well melt into a smile at the price tag. Economy class is good enough as long as it gets you there. One particularly exciting thing about LG KT610 is the stark contrast between the touchingly old-school front and the serious stuff inside. So let's open it up and see what we say.

Features:

* Full QWERTY keyboard
* 2.4" 262K-color QVGA display inside
* 1.45" 262K-color secondary display
* Symbian OS v9.2 with S60 rel. 3.1 UI
* 3G with HSDPA
* Compact dimensions for a communicator
* 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera
* Built-in GPS receiver with excellent sensitivity
* More affordable than other communicators
* Bluetooth and USB v2.0
* 64MB of internal memory and microSD card slot
