If designer clothing, including bags and shoes, has most of its ad campaign done by celebrities, mobile phones too can as well be modeled by stars. Take for example what LG has in mind. They teamed up with fashionably sophisticated women Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria Parker to promote two of its stylish touchscreen mobile phones.

These phones are actually the LG Lotus Elite and the LG Rumor Touch, which have both been announced since January of this year. The ad campaign is actually called the LG Fashion Touch, and it is said to promote “personal style and the idea that mobile phones have become the latest in fashion communication.”

LG’s Cookie device has been one of their best-selling devices, so LG has probably thought that it’s time to give it a successor. The manufacturer has then announced the coming of the LG Cookie Plus GS500, which is presented as being “sociable, enjoyable, and affordable.”

Unlike the predecessor, this LG Cookie Plus GS500 will have 3G connectivity. And since this will be a sociable device, this will also come with social networking integration for Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Other features then include a touchscreen display, 3-megapixel camera, LG’s animated LiveSquare UI with widgets, FM tuner, and Editable Screenshot MMS application, which is a “feature capable of capturing web images for editing…

While Samsung is enjoying the market with their Corby phone series, which we know includes a lineup of devices that is catered for younger generation with penchant for social networking and other media features, LG has probably thought to compete with it as they’ve decided to come up with the LG Clubby KM555E.

Just like the Corby, this LG Clubby KM555E also comes with interesting design but with not-so groundbreaking features. Touted as an “all-touchscreen music phone”, this LG Clubby will have WQVGA display, 3-megapixel camera, Dolby Mobile tech, and it will also have built-in support for LG’s Music Club track download service.

We’ve already featured the LG KM555 before, where Rogers…

Perhaps LG would like to continue with the success of the LG Cookie, which sold more than seven million units now, for the reason that they designed another simple touch-screen handset, named the LG GD510 Pop.

They actually presented it in their Press Release as the “most compact 3-inch full touchscreen phone ever made.” It is crafted from brushed aluminum with only a single button on the front, which is believed to glow in green and in red either to call or to hang-up. There also seems to be a solar panel at the back, but LG didn’t talk about it in the press release.

Other features will include 3-inch WQVGA touch-screen…

This device indeed has the transformer feel to it since it is “versatile” with a detachable QWERTY keyboard and game pad, transforming a simple touch screened device into a something. This customized LG Versa has a themed battery cover, showing Optimus Prime, the movie logo, and the release date.

This also comes with customized backgrounds, plus with a new startup and…
