LG has its own Mini phone which was previewed during MWC and guess what ? LG claims it’s the World’s first phone with a Browser supporting HTML 5

The phone packs a HTML 5-compatible Phantom Browser which offers a much faster and more stable internet experience. The phone can handle 10 browser windows all open at the same time.

And the since is the browser is HTML 5 ready , this means that Mobile apps such Google’s Latitude, Gmail, Calendar, Google Maps and Google Buzz services might work awesomely well

LG is also talking about Improved JavaScript and Flash performance  which can mean that Youtube videos might work smoothly

“Our research shows that most people think current full touchscreen phones — especially smartphones — are too bulky, too clunky and too difficult to use,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. We developed LG Mini to deliver the smartphone-like features that people want in a beautiful and compact package that is also user-friendly.”

And the goodies don’t stop there , the LG Mini also packs a 5.0 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio and 7.2 Mbps HDSPA and does push email.

The LG Mini will be initially available in Europe this month followed by other regions. Prices will vary country-to-country and still not announced

Hope LG ships one to us from review straight from Korea !

    So, it would be another 1 or 2 months until it launches in India.

    You are wrong.. The very first iPhone is the first phone with support for many HTML5 features.. Apple has gradually increased HTML5 support on iPhones.. But anyway.. iPhone was HTML5 ready back in 2007 itself…

    Interesting point Jeethu. But we said clearly LG is claiming its first HTML 5 phone ;) . But iPhone has limited HTML5 support from my knowledge
