LG has just released the LG GC900 Viewty Smart in Mumbai, India; it's priced at Rs. 27,500 ($577 USD). For a refresher, this handset has: a 3-inch multi-touchscreen display with an 800 x 480 resolution, 1.5GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, an 8MP AF camera, EDGE / GPRS / 3G / WiFi b/g support, Bluetooth + A2DP, aGPS support, TV output, and FM radio with RDS. The camera is really impressive with its Schneider-Kreuznach lens and power LED flash. It's even capable of shooting 720 x 480 resolution video @ 30fps. Don't forget the slow-motion video capabilities! Let's hope this gets released in the US by the end of the year.

This is some big news from LG. They have just announced that the LG Viewty Smart will be available by the end of the month, exclusively at Orange stores. This upsets us over here in North America, but we'll just have to wait for our turn. The Viewty Smart is said to be the thinnest 8MP cameraphone, since it is only 12.4mm thick. It also weighs just 102 grams and is rocking LG's new 3D S-Class UI. No word on the pricing, so I'll have that for you at a later date.

LG has also gone out on a limb to mention that they will launch a 12MP cameraphone later this year. Nothing else is known about the device, but I can't wait for a side-by-side comparison of LG's 12MP smartphone and Sony Ericsson's Idou.

Just like it was predicted earlier this month, the LG Env3 looks like it has been spotted with a 3MP camera. The camera will also have "Intelligent Shot", which is also included in the very sexy Viewty (II) Smart. Besides the recent 1 megapixel camera bump, the Env3 also sports a tweaked QWERTY keyboard, but nothing else is known about this fairly mysterious and underwhelming handset.

The LG Smart aka GC900 aka Viewty II has been a bit more leaked and is now officially official. This information was found on LG's official blog, but it has been pulled off the site for now. The Viewty II really looks amazing, but I'm hoping that the touchscreen doesn't fail and that the phone doesn't come with a hefty amount of lag. Anyways, the 3-inch touchscreen you see here has a 720 x 480 (or 800 x 480 judging from Boy Genius) resolution. It also comes packed with an 8MP camera with a xenon flash and is also capable of 480p video, geotagging, aGPS, Wifi, HSDPA and you'll find this in a nice, slim 12.4mm thin body. Keep in mind that it will also have LG's new S-Class 3D UI and a whopping 32GB of storage. If you want to view more sexy Viewty II pictures then hit up the Boy Genius link below.
