LG unveiled its touchscreen bar smartphone dedicated for providing a seamless navigation experience, the LG GT505. It comes with a 3-inch 256-color WQVGA (400×240 pixels resolution) display. The LG GT505 will come with WisePilot navigation preinstalled and quite naturally a built-in GPS receiver. Unfortunately the navigation license will be free only for the first month with a purchase necessary if you are to use it after that point. It seems LG GT505 will be using some new user interface, called A-class instead of the highly appreciated S-class one found in LG KM900 Arena and LG GC900 Viewty Smart. It also packs Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM and 3G with HSDPA connectivity and a 5 megapixel camera.

The LG GT505 will be available exclusively in the UK through Orange as LG GT500. Subsequent launch in other markets will come after evaluating the market reception. No information about the pricing yet.
