A rumoured handset, the LG Doubleplay (rumoured as the Flip II) has been spotted again sporting a small display which divides the QWERTY-keyboard. This time the handset has been spotted with a T-Mobile logo which suggests that it will be US-first launch.
The main display is said to have a 320x480 HVGA resolution. Other rumoured specs include a 5 MP camera at the back and Android 2.3. Doubleplay will be launching on 2nd November for $150 on contract.The handset surely has a new design perspective, but I personally think that the secondary display is just a trying-real-hard effort by LG to get some attention. What do you think ?

Nokia just announced the Nokia 603 and now here is a new accessory launched by the company. The Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset is a bright looking headset which offers Bluetooth connectivity along with NFC.
The Luna headset has a two-piece design; the base and the part that you put in your ear. Taking the earpiece out of the base automatically starts up the Bluetooth connection to your phone and answers incoming calls. Putting it back hangs up the call and powers down the Bluetooth connection. The headset also includes voice prompts to assist you with pairing, and also to tell you when the battery is low. It even has NFC built in so it can connect Nokia handsets supporting the NFC connectivity feature. The battery life is up to 8 hours talktime or 60 days standby. The handset will come in a range of colours including black, white, fuchsia, green, yellow and blue, and will be available from Q4 2011 and should cost around €69.
