If you ever felt jealous of your friends on Sprint using the LG Rumor, the LG KS360 looks to be a GSM variant aimed at a similar audience. With Communicasia 2008 now taking place in Singapore, LG has unveiled a Triband GSM GPRS/EDGE QWERTY slider that looks very reminiscent of the LG Rumor here in the States made famous by Sprint. With a 2.4 inches screen running at 240 x 320 pixels, the LG KS360 is set to only release in Asia. Although the device will only be available in Asia initially, recent FCC filing and approvals should take care of any requirements preventing a US launch later this year.

The WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam was the perfect time for Sprint Nextel CTO, Barry West, to break news that the first commercial Xohm service will start this September in Baltimore. Finally after rumors and speculation we have an exact launch date for the highly anticipated WiMAX network to go live to the general public. West also announced that over 575 Xohm WiMAX base station sites are on air and ”It’s the only technology I know where the chipset evolution for devices is going faster than the infrastructure.”
The news is solid and hopefully investors will look past the current economic condition of Sprint Nextel and give the yellow and black team some credit. As we previously suspected, the Nokia Internet Tablet N810 WiMAX edition will be the first device available at launch along with a few AirCards and USB modems from ZyXEL. With WiMAX coming in next months and the Samsung Instinct taking on the iPhone later this week, expect an exciting year for Sprint Nextel and their best chance to turn around the company to 2005 figures.

If you missed out the LG Rumor the last time around because green ain’t your thing, is no problem, Sprint has added another color to the LG Rumor, this time a cool blue to give it a summer kick.
Rumor by LG, exclusively from Sprint, is an affordable and attractive Sprint PCS Vision phone that helps you manage your entertainment, data, and voice needs in a single device. Available in 4 stylish color options, Rumor by LG puts the convenience of text messaging in the palm of your hand with an easy-to-use QWERTY slide keyboard and one touch access to messaging through a softkey from the idle screen. Whenever you slide open the phone, it automatically populates the messaging menu for you. Text tones can be assigned to a Contacts entry so you can easily identify the sender. Rumor by LG also offers an MP3 music player and a 4 GB capacity microSD card slot so you can take your favorite tunes with you on the go. Additional features include a 1.3 MP camera/camcorder and Bluetooth wireless technology.
Samsung’s latest volley in the iPhone’s general direction — the Instinct — had been promised for a June launch, but beyond that we hadn’t gotten a specific date.
That changes today with news that we should all be able to run our fingers over the Instinct’s glossy front starting on the 20th of the month.
