LG has officially announced the arrival of its first Android phone: the InTouch Max GW620 which is available from T-Mobile or Virgin Media.
Announced back in September, the LG InTouch Max GW620 is the company's first foray into Android mobile OS territory, an increasingly powerful force in the mobile phone industry.
The phone itself boasts a full qwerty slide-out keyboard and resistive 3-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera and built-in 'LinkBook social networking manager'.
