Here are some hands-on picture I took of LG’s second Android handset, the LG GT540 is currently running Android 1.6(with some customization done by LG)but I was assured that it will be upgradeable to Android 2.X in the future. The device sport a 3Mpix camera with AF and a resistive touchscreen (it is so good that I initially thought that it was capacitive at first but then the LG Rep told me to use my finger nails to prove that it was indeed resistive) and will feature native WMV & Divx playback support. The GT540is  also really light. LG plans to ship it globally in April 2010.
