Oh sure, you’ve seen LG’s KC910 (or Renoir, if you prefer) out in the wild before, but our kid brothers and sisters over at Engadget Spanish were able to get up close and personal with the 8-megapixel handset during its formal introduction in Spain. Specs wise, there’s nothing to discuss that you aren’t already familiar with, but if you just can’t get enough imagery of the fanciful device, you can gorge some more by hitting the read link.

Part of its very big fall QWERTY blitz, AT&T has at this time released the Samsung Propel in four fresh ‘n fruity colors. Your hard-earned $79.99 will buy you a 1.3-megapixel camera, UMTS (no mention of HSDPA in the specs), AT&T Navigator and Video Share support, and a full sliding keyboard that should keep your numeric keypad friends on the defensive during a heated SMS exchange. Of course, that $79.99 is an on-contract price — but if you’re down, the Propel can be all yours starting today.

If this bulbous Moto slider looks vaguely familiar, that’s because we saw it (or something precisely like it in physical appearance) way back in May. at this time it’s been approved by China’s regulatory peeps, which makes it just marginally more likely to see release at some point in the not-too-distant future. Unlike its candybar doppelganger, the ZN5, the VE66 slider is said to feature 3G (in at least some of its versions) in addition to WiFi for a true, 2008-ish downloadin’ experience. Around back, you get a 5-megapixel camera that’s curiously devoid of Kodak branding. Moto made a big stink about the Kodak angle for the ZN5, so you’d think they’d be pushing that in this place, too — could the honeymoon be over already?
