The competition for the iPhone seems to be getting hotter by the day. After a slew of releases by GSM band competitors now LG has launched a CDMA handset to compete with it. The LG10000 can be used on the Reliance mobile network in India. It is a clamshell model with a 2.8 inch touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard.

It has a memory of 8 GB and a 2 megapixel camera. The phone is compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server and is capable of HTML browsing. It has 240 minutes of talk time and 480 minutes of standby time.

The phone has been in the US markets for some time now and is being sold as Voyager. It has been one of the main competitors to iPhone. The war for market share has shifted to India with this launch.

The phone is likely to be priced between Rs 22,000 and Rs 25,000. It will be available in all reliance exclusive and retail outlets.
