LG keep expanding their portfolio of entry-level and midrange handsets, which played a key role in making them the third largest manufacturer worldwide. Now the company unveiled no less than 5 yet unannounced phones at a press event held in Amstelveen, Netherlands.

LG KS365 is a successor to the highly popular LG KS360 and comes with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. It refreshes the design of its predecessor but puts little new functionality on the table. The 2.4" touchscreen is retained and so are the 2 megapixel camera and the stereo FM radio.

Next comes the LG GT405 - a phone for multimedia lovers on a tighter budget. It comes with a 3" touchscreen and packs the company proprietary S-Class UI. The 5 megapixel camera and the 3G with HSDPA support might make the LG GT405 the best-spec'd phone of the bunch revealed today.

The LG GT400 Viewty Smile makes its second public appearance after the leak last week. Its functionality is virtually identical to the one of the GT405 but its unassuming design suggests an even lower price tag.

The 2008-turned-2010 leak roster concludes with LG Pure and Jacquar 5. The first one is a very sleek mid-range slider. The notable features are its 5 megapixel camera and 3G connectivity with HSDPA support. It reminds us of the unimpressive BL20 New Chocolate and most probably will use the same UI. If the body turns out to be all-metal as it looks in the picture, that would be very nice.

Finally, the LG Jacquar 5 is a cheap, but good looking low-end candy bar. It has a VGA camera, MP3 player and a microSD card slot.

While the first phone out there packing Bluetooth 3.0, the Wave, is about to hit the stores in a few weeks, the first Android-based smartphone with the latest version of Bluetooth is still waiting for its announcement. That's the Samsung SHW-M120S.

We have no images of the SHW-M120S to show you but there's a nice mini specs sheet. The Android-powered Samsung SHW-M120S is apparently meant to show up only in South Korea but the world isn't that big after all. And the M120S is GSM network compatible (HSDPA support is also on board).

Feature-wise, the Samsung SHW-M120S is quite reminiscent of the Samsung Wave, which we previewed recently. You get a 3.3" AMOLED touchscreen (it's not clear if we are talking about Wave's gorgeous Super AMOLED display), a 5-megapixel autofocus snapper and a secondary VGA camera.

Proximity sensor and an inbuilt accelerometer are also to see on the specs list. The SHW-M120S is expected to come with a T-DMB tuner and Wi-Fi support as well as a GPS receiver.

The M120S shows up only a month after the announcement of its bro, the M100S, which has a huge 3.7" Super AMOLED screen and plenty of other mouth-watering features.

There is still no information when the device will start shipping and if we can expect its European version to see daylight at some point.

Palm Pre users in Europe in for a treat - they are getting three popular games for free. Need for Speed Undercover, Monopoly and The Sims 3. It's a limited time offer so you'd better hurry and get them before the deadline.

This is good news for people who have spare time to kill. Between a racing game, a board game and a sim game, everyone should be able to find one they enjoy. Bosses be on the lookout, if your employees are paying too much attention to their Palm Pres, they're probably being chased by virtual cops or building hotels.

The offer is available for Palm Pre owners on the O2 network - by the looks of it, it's available in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy and Spain. It seems that the US isn't getting this promotion. The offer is available to both new and existing users.

To get the games, just download them from the App Catalog. There should be a "Download for free" link in the details page for each of the three games. The deadline is March 31 when the promotion ends.
