Vodafone gets first dibs on WinMo 6.5-powered LG GM750 in Europe

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

The GM730’s barely had time to breathe since its intro earlier this year, but Windows Mobile 6.5 awaits — and with it, the world’s expecting a slue of new models to kick things off right.

The 5 megapixel cam and S-Class support are carryovers from its predecessor, but considering that neither is a slouch, we can’t say we’re complaining. Look for the GM750 to launch in Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the UK (along with France through SFR) to celebrate 6.5’s initial release on October 6, with other countries following on later.
