The crisis in the global economy is not slowing LG down, at least not on paper. According to Pocket Lint, LG is planning to release 125 unique handsets next year. These are not 17 phones in a rainbow of colors but 125 individual handset models. The UK alone will supposedly receive 25 of these new handsets which, if launched at a steady pace, would equate to a new handset every two weeks. Keep in mind this ambitious roadmap is on only paper and not written in stone. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to watch LG in 2009 to see if it can meet this lofty goal. Wonder what new handsets they plan on sending stateside in 2009…

Wow. LG phones are electronic wafers for robots to puke on. At least they have a variety to pick from now.

Pretty ambitious. Coming a few weeks after the partnership with Microsoft, and with the constant positive evolution in the capability of their handsets, I see this as an exciting time for LG.

Those 125 handsets will probably be cropped down to 80-100 I would imagine.

If they release fifty I’ll be astounded.

These days, there doesn’t seem to be much correlation between what executives say/write and what the engineers can actually make happen.
