LG's first WM6 handset (and probably also first shipping WM handset) should be on its way to store in several European countries. LG has made a site dedicated to KS20 here:

Does anyone have any idea where it would be possible to get hold of one? It's listed on Expansys as pre-order at the moment. Any similar sites I could be looking out for it?

It's not available in the UK yet, only France and Germany initially AFAIK. Expect it on Orange France soon, we've heard nothing from O UK about it yet however.

Thanks for the reply.

That's also what I've heard. However, I'm in Denmark, where it won't come out until some time next year, so I'm looking for a place to buy it online and get it shipped. There just has to be English language on it. I can install Danish T9 myself ;)

I'm also wondering about the price. Hopefully not more than £500 - I've seen it listed at a German site for pre-order for almost 1200€ :-S

anyone heard anymore on the UK release? Am hunting the interweb almost daily for any news now lol! Also anyone seen any French or German sites review it yet? Had enough of UIQ now so its time to come back to WM.

Seen one test in German: http://www.netzwelt.de/news/76571-lg-ks20-im-test-edles.html

There also several videos and pictures over at http://theunwired.net

It seems Vodafone has exclusivity in the whole world, as it's not out anywhere else than on Vodafone. I have no idea when their exclusivity ends, but I hope it's really soon! I fear it's at least for the rest of the year, though :( Why can't I buy an unbranded version in Denmark, Vodafone's not here anyway? :D

I had a play with one yesterday, it's pretty tiny!

Lucky bugger! :(

How did you get your hands on one? Any specific positive or negative things to say about it?

It's basically what I consider to be a "Touch II" - same length and width, a bit thinner, faster CPU, more RAM and ROM and of course HSDPA - and still WiFi ;-)
