LG’s first Android handset has made its official debut, in the shape of the LG GW620. A slider device with a pull-out QWERTY keyboard and 3-inch touchscreen, LG’s press information for the GW620 doesn’t confirm many of the exact specifications; however, they do make clear that they will be supporting Android as well as – rather than instead of – Windows Mobile.

The smartphone was previewed last week, as the LG Etna, on a Vodafone stand. There it was confirmed to have a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. LG have also seemingly done some work on the UI, though not to the extent of Motorola MOTOBLUR or HTC Sense; instead it looks as though LG’s S-Class UI has been ported over to Android.

No pricing details, but the LG GW620 will arrive in Q4 2009, though so far the company have only confirmed that it will ship to “select European markets”. US availability is unknown.
