LG has its own pair, too. The Eigen&nbsp;(GM730), pictured above, runs Windows Mobile 6.1.4 Professional and packs an MSM7201a 528MHz processor, 128MB RAM, and 256MB ROM. There's also quad-band GPRS/EDGE and UMTS connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, a G-sensor, an FM radio, a 5.0-megapixel camera, a microSDHC slot, and a 240 x 400 (WQVGA) touch screen to seal the deal. It's definitely not as impressive the Touch Diamond2 or Touch Pro2, but it's not too shabby, either.</p><p>Jump the break for more shots of the Eigen&nbsp;(GM730), as well as a look at the HQ.</p><p><MORE /></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1234768082.usr2.jpg" /></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1234768097.usr2.jpg" /></p><p>Unlike the Eigen&nbsp;(GM730), the HQ, pictured below, is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard device. But specs-wise, it's not that dissimilar to the Eigen&nbsp;(GM730): same processor, same amount of RAM and ROM, and the same cellular and wireless radios. The camera, however, is only rated at 2.0-megapixels, while the display only packs 240 x 320 worth of pixels. Still, all in all, the HQ is not a bad offering.</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1234768103.usr2.jpg" /></p>
