LG announced GW820 eXpo smartphone

LG has announced a new Windows Mobile 6.5-based smartphone, the eXpo. But unlike other 6.5 smarties on the market, the newest member of the LG family is packing just about everything but the kitchen sink including a 1GHz processor, a built-in fingerprint sensor, and an optional Pico Projector. Maybe they should have named it the LG SwissArmy Knife Phone.

That’s right. You can add a Pico Projector (sold separately) to this badboy that will “project images, video and Web pages up to a 40″ screen size onto any surface.” Unfortunately, LG has not offered any further details on the cost or availability of said add-on projector at this time.

But besides the optional projector, powerful Qualcomm (speculated to be Snapdragon) processor, and James Bond-like fingerprint scanner, the GW820 also features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.2″ 800×480 touch screen display, 5MP camera w/flash, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and an FM radio among other things.

The device measures 4.5″ x 2.24″ x 0.65″ (sans projector), has a 1500mAh Li-polymer battery, and, according to Phone Scoop, will initially be made available to AT&T enterprise customers for $200 (after MIR and new contract) on December 7.

Here’s a complete list of the eXpo’s features (via the official datasheet – PDF link):
