Interestingly, the handset has also been spotted previously by Cellpassion at the WiFi Alliance [pdf link], where it went by the name of the LG Eve.  They had no other details - at the time it was unknown that the Eve was to be an Android device - but its presence on a testing site does indicate that the GW620 may be close to release.
