LG Prada phone to launch in silver


LG's Prada phone, launched in March 2007, was one of the mobile phone success stories of last year selling over 700,000 handsets.

Evidently hoping to sustain that success throughout the coming year as well, LG in Korea has announced that the LG-KE850 will launch in silver to complement the already available black version.

The only difference, other than the colour and accessories, revealed at this stage is that the new silver Prada will apparently boast improvements to the touchscreen Qwerty keyboard software.

It's being reported that the silver LG Prada Phone will launch across Europe in 18 countries at the same time, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

CES 2008: LG Viewty 5.0-Megapixel Camera Phone


Viewty(LG KU990) is still not available in the States, it was given prime position at the LG booth next to the live DJ, with multiple units mounted around a large rotating animated robotic looking display. Viewty is a 5.1 megapixel quad band GSM camera phone. It boasts low-light capabilities, high-speed video recording (120fps), direct-to-YouTube uploading, a DivX player and handwriting recognition. The menu navigation is intuitive, the camera functionality extensive and styling minimal with an understated matt-black finish. Only criticism aside from the name (it's a viewty) is the missing lens protection, although it will be a while before we see that addressed in camera phones.


CES 2008: LG Watch Mobile Phone



Dick Tracy would be proud. At LG’s booth we spotted this concept watch phone behind glass (thus the blurry pics). While I was peppering the product rep with questions, about a half dozen people asked when the device would be available, and each time he said that LG had no plans to bring the watch to market. Hmmm, maybe LG should rethink its stance on this product.

Here’s the deal with watch phones. They sound futuristic-chic on paper, but they’re just not practical. LG’s concept is a bit different than previous attempts. It has a built-in speaker, but it also has integrated Bluetooth so you can can gab without having to hold your wrist up to your mouth.

You can also view text messages on the concept watch’s huge display (I asked if it was OLED but no one knew the answer). There’s even a little scroll wheel on the bottom of the watch so you can send canned or full text messages, as well as call up contacts. I also found out that the concept rides on GSM, which means one would be able to insert a standard SIM card and then start making calls–if you could buy one.

We say “bring this concept to market.” Judging by the looks of disappointment on showgoers’ faces when they learned that the LG Watch Phone wasn’t for sale, we think it could be the must-have timepiece for gadget geeks.
