The LG Optimus Black is a phone that many are lusting after, and why not? After all it is boasting some great features. But nothing spices up your product as much as getting some awesome designs on the products rear, right?

LG is creating a scene thanks to its collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation. Thanks to the new found collaboration between the electronic giant and the foundation of one of America’s most legendary pop artists, the Optimus Black would feature artwork from the artist on the world’s thinnest Android device (6mm to be exact).

“Keith Haring inspired the art world with his energetic, colorful images which are recognized by millions of people around the world,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We hope to capture some of that ‘joie de vivre’ through this partnership as it’s perfectly consistent with our ‘Life’s Good’ philosophy.”

The collaboration between the two organizations have resulted in the selection of two of Keith Haring’s artworks which will be featured on the back covers for the Optimus Black. This collaboration marks the second time both companies have worked together, the first being 2008 when the foundation was responsible for the artistic feel of the KF600 and the KF700.

The LG Optimus Black will be available in either white or black as well as other color variations in select European markets starting next month. Those visitors to Mobile World Congress next Monday will be able to get a firsthand viewing of the device. Mobile World Congress starts the 15th of February and ends the 17th of that month.

We’ll be there with the latest information so stay tuned, and while you’re at it, you might want to control your spending as we’re sure there’s something you’ll want from the event.

According to recent news Fujitsu is the newest phone manufacturer to be joining the ranks of HTC, Motorola, LG, Samsung and more in the Android phone community.

So far, the only thing that has been announced is the fact that Fujitsu is indeed working on an Android device, but aside from that, it is not known what kind of handset the Japanese electronics manufacturer will be coming up with. It is however, estimated that the new device will be out by the end of the year. The only speculation that matters right now is whether Fujitsu will device to bring the device over to the UK.

While we are all still guessing on what Fujitsu is planning, the other Android phone makers are already busy working on their own devices.

Korean manufacturer Samsung has recently added several new devices to the Galaxy series of Android phones, but it seems that the Galaxy tab seems missing from the list of devices that will be getting a release date soon.

Not to be outdone, the other Korean phone maker, LG has also confirmed that they are going to be adding a couple of new devices to the Optimus series of handsets (LG’s line of Android phones). In the meanwhile, the existing Optimus handsets are going to be updated.

HTC is already an established name in the smart phone industry –most particularly with the Android OS. With the HTC roadmap already leaked, it comes as to no surprise that the Taiwanese manufacturer is the one with the Android handset that we would be most looking forward to: the HTC Vision. Aside from the already impressive spec sheet, the device also comes with a physical slide out QWERTY keyboard. The other HTC device, the HTC Ace is still an unknown handset (no specs or details) at this point.
