LG IQ Getting Handled

Back in September we got our hands on some official AT&T documents which indicated that the LG Monaco, now being called the IQ, would be hitting AT&T’s lineup sometime in late November. However, as November draws to a close, we have yet to see any signs of said handset on Ma’ Bell here in the States. Enter, Canada. It appears as though our friends from Telus are preparing to roll out the LG IQ just in time for the holiday season. As previously reported, the specs on this full-QWERTY slider are pretty darn good: GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100MHz), 3.2″ WVGA touchscreen, 480 x 800 screen resolution, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, WiFi (b/g), GPS, fingerprint scanner, and 5 megapixel camera. This nice little package will be wrapped in LG’s S-Class user interface, run Windows Mobile 6.5, and, allegedly, be powered by the oh-so-tasty Snapdragon processor. Any of our Canadian peeps going to give the IQ a test? Did you see what we just did there? We have the video all queued up for you after the bounce.

    • Kyle

      Sadly, even the Storm 2 is less of a phone than this P.O.S. from LG.

    Woot, Happy to see the new choices coming to Telus.

    It’s a Dragon Attack!

    This one may not be much to look at, but she does seem to be packing some punch.

  • William Hartmann

    Looks very appetizing

  • hipkik

    yay so I still get to say my motorola q9n is the only phone in the US with a fingerprint scanner.(that I know of)

  • Dwayne

    This looks like an interesting device. I would like to spend some time playing with it so that I can properly judge it.

    the youtube video thats posted wont work grrrr

  • Dwayne

    Worked for me.

  • John

    I find it very curious that a couple of people on this site have decided this device is a “p.o.s.” and yet I’m quite sure neither of these morons has ever used or even seen one in real life. You guys must know by now that no one takes you seriously and you are just wasting your own time.

    This looks like a very interesting device and while i was waiting for the HD2, i may well decide to give this one a go. the specs are awesome and i love the finger print access – great security and so simple to use.

    • dude

      well, in my experience all LG phones have been disappointing which is why the spec list doesn’t mean much to me because the phone doesn’t really seem impressive at all from the video and the “s-class” interface looks like a half assed attempt at an actual inteface design.

  • Mathias Rios

    Look at the iPhone Ripoff icons. So blatant

  • JW

    I think this device looks pretty interesting. Great specs for a smart phone + two awesome new features; 1. Pico Projector support and 2. a fingerprint sensor for easy to use security. I’ll take one!

  • Danger

    Why the hell would you want to get this when you can wait a month and get the telus version of the Droid next year?

  • Celz

    Because Wm has things like skyfire, a homescreen, you know the things you cant get on another smartphone

    • Danger

      Because Android won’t do any of that? Browser is awesome and you can make your own home screen as well. Other than a fingerprint reader, what can this do that Android can’t?

  • David C.

    Nice to see the Telus lineup is expanding with GSM. I’m cool with Windows Mobile, too bad it isn’t CDMA.

  • John

    What can Android do that this device can’t?
