Here’s a phone you might consider buying from AT&T in the near future. The LG Neon seems specifically designed for the heavy texter you. It has a QWERTY slider ready to be used and a 2.4-inch touchscreen. We’re might see it officially announced at MWC 2009. We’re waiting for more specs and pricing details in the very near future.

  • NV Mobile Launches Watch

    LG did get a lot of attention thanks to its Watch Phone during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and it looks like NV Mobile intends to do the same. Inspired by the attention that LG Watch Phones had during the said event, NV Mobile is now taking on Australia with its own range of watch phones.

    The OZ outfit, which also manufactures handsets in traditional form factors, has three models. Designs range from childish (NV Motch) to tacky (NV Smart Watch with dial pad on the wrist band), and prices begin at US$249 for the former to the priciest of the lot, the Smart Watch for US$410. Basic features include touchscreen displays, onboard

  • Verizon LG Migo

    Verizon LG Migo

    Does your child really need a cell phone? No doubt your child would be glad to accept one if you offered it, but the real issue for most parents is security. Parents feel better when they know their child can call home under any circumstances. The Verizon LG Migo is especially designed with parents in mind. Dubbed the “Shrek Phone” of its bright green handset and stubby antennas, the Migo has limited options for calling out. When the child presses almost any button the phone will prompt the child with a question, “Call home?” or “Call Dad?” or whatever you program into it.

    The child then presses yes or no to call. An option GPS tracking feature allows parents to keep tabs on where their child is at all times whether the child uses the phone or not. The LG Migo is designed for children between the ages of five and eight and costs $49.99 with a two year service contract. The “Chaperone” GPS service runs an additional $19.99 per month.

  • The LG Pink Flare in the picture here isn’t a phone made for Valentine’s. Well, it can be, but it’s main purpose is to help us fight breast cancer. With every purchase $5 will be donated to Susan G. Koman for the Cure, which is the largest breast cancer organization in the world. The phone will be available from Virgin Mobile in the U.S., and the carrier will donate at least $150,000 to the Cure.

    The LG Pink Flare is a simple clamshell phone which won’t surprise you with extravagant features. It’s so cheap that you could actually purchase one just for the sake of donating those $5. The Pink Flare will be available at Best Buy only for $29.99.

    LG 150 Phones Recalled

    A voluntary recall was announced by LG Electronics Canada Inc., on the LG 150. It seems that the LG 150 mobile phone is no longer certified as meeting the Radio Standards Specifications 102 (RSS 102), Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus and has thus becomes a primary concern for the health of people carrying this phone.

    Health Canada is of the opinion that the past and current use of the LG 150 should not pose immediate or long-term health concerns.

    Here is the official announcement made by LG Electronics Canada Inc.:

    “LG has mobilized quickly in response to these findings on behalf of our customers,” says Mr. William Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Canada. “LG’s preliminary testing indicates that only LG 150 phones from specific production runs may be affected by this issue. LG is therefore recommending that all LG 150 phones manufactured within such production runs be returned in accordance with the guidelines set out below. LG is continuing to test the LG 150 phones. However, because customer satisfaction and safety continue to be our primary commitment, we are taking a proactive approach and working in cooperation with our carriers to recall all LG 150 phones in Canada.”

    LG VX9600 Versa Spotted


    LG has a new phone in the works, the VX9600 or the Versa. We have no official details yet and therefore we have no idea when the phone is coming and how much it will cost.

    One of the most obvious features of this phone is the detachable QWERTY keyboard module. Besides the detachable QWERTY keyboard we should expect a detachable gamepad, a pair of speakers and an Internet module with WiFi.

    The fact that LG has just became the third largest manufacturer shouldn’t be such an unexpected event considering how 2008 turned out to be. Two major handset manufacturers have suffered deeply. These are Motorola and Sony Ericsson. We expect them both to recover sooner or later. But in the mean time LG has surpassed them and it won’t be stopped soon. LG surpassed Moto by only about 100k handset as both companies produced around 100 million phones last year. Sony Ericsson managed to sell only about 96.6 million in a disastrous 2008. What will 2009 bring in terms of handsets? Well we know Moto has a few good looking phones set for a Verizon release, but LG won’t surrender! The company wants to launch no less than 100 different handset this year. That’s almost two new handsets per week. And we’re going to cover them all for you!

    Oh, and as usual, number one and two are the same companies. Nokia sold 470 million phones while Samsung trailed behind with only 200 million phones in 2008.

The full price of this handset is $239.99 which is a little to much for what this baby can do!

    So let me remind you what the LG VX8360 is all about:

    • 1.2 inch TFT external display with 96 x 96 pixels

    LG Watch Phone - The Video


    The LG watch phone is not necessarily my favorite CES product so far but we’ve got to hand it to them. LG has managed to create a 3G touchscreen watch phone which is really cool. The video above will show you LG Canada at work demoing the watch. But just in case you missed it, the LG watch phone will get you 3G support, Bluetooth connectivity, Voice commands, 3 mechanical keys and 2 hours of talk time with 240 hours of standby battery life. The watch is waterproof and comes with a Bluetooth headset and it’s own charging cradle. The phone watch will only enter production at the end of the year so go ahead with those Santa letters.

  • LG’s new watch phone

     

    I remember watching TV when I was younger and seeing all of those secret agents with their high-tech cellphone watches. Now when I look back, the devices they used seem largely prehistoric. 

    Enter LG’s new G-GD910 watch phone, pictured above. This thing comes complete with a 1.43-inch LCD touch-screen, 3G connectivity, and a built in camera. The real selling point of this device, however, is that it’s not hideous.

    No word on pricing or avaliablity but we are sure to see this beauty at CES.

  • LG is making significant progress in the cell phone business. It has just announced its first dual-SIM handset, the KS660. It will feature a 3 inch touchscreen WQVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and video recording, tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 50MB of memory space upgradeable via microSDHC and an accelerometer to play with. This dual-SIM device has sacrificed the 3G and WiFi connectivity options but we might get those in future versions.

    The KS660 will arrive in China, Russia and a few of its neighbors in Q1 2009 for. Other countries? We’ll just have to wait and see. And we also need a price for it.
