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.

Did you also notice the empty LG Vu shelves? And was the answer ‘Don’t know’ when you asked the seller when will they get more? Well rejoice, LG Vu 920 is coming soon!

We’ve covered the LG Vu some time ago so I’m not going to let you in on all the technical details again. But since it is one of the cheapest touchscreen phones on the market, I thought of letting you know the new Wine colored version is going be out soon! The coolest thing about it, except for the large 3 inch touchscreen, the HSDPA support and the 2 megapixel camera is the extraordinary MediaFLO technology incorporated! Well I went all specs all over you didn’t I?

All those interested just go to AT&T and you will get it for about $100. When? The words “real soon” come to mind.

You’re in for a deja-vu here. The LG KB770 will remind you of HTC’s Touch HD smartphone when it comes to watching videos on your phone. There’s a big difference though. The LG KB770 comes with a DVB-T tuner which will get you free-to-air digital TV broadcasts. It comes with a 3 inch touchscreen for a great TV watching experience.

Other than that the KB770 has tri-band GSM and WCDMA 2100 support, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA connectivity, but not WiFi support. And there’s not GPS which is really surprising. The 3 megapixel digital camera with autofocus will also come in handy and you get a second camera for video calling. Well we could be impressed but we’d rather disappointed it lacks two major features.

The phone might already be available in Germany and you’ll get it for 449 Euro without a contract.

While this year’s Formula One season has come to an end, the next season is approaching. We’re not interested in what FIA is going to do with the new engine rules but we’re rather keen on checking out LG’s Formula One special edition handset. If there’s ever going to be created! We don’t have the exact details yet but we know that LG has reached an agreement with F1. LG’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dermont Boden said that LG is “looking to develop products in the future with Formula One.” Other F1 themed LG products might be created to and we might not have a handset at all!

While the LG Rhythm was recently launched by Alltel, it doesn’t mean other mobile carriers can’t do the same. With that being said, the Rhythm is now available at U.S. Cellular.

As for the features, this LG phone is considered a music handset so it comes with a 3.5mm headset jack, a graphic equalizer, and FM radio.

Yesterday Kodak filled a lawsuit on the US against two of the most popular companies in the mobile world: Samsung and LG.

The lawsuit is related to digital-camera patents, and includes the following functionalities: image capture, compression, data storage, and preview of images in motion.

So, what does Kodak really want? Basically they want to prohibit import and sales of the Samsung and LG products that use the patents. As for what they ask in the lawsuit: unspecified damages. Classic!

We’ve mentioned the LG-KC780 two times before: once when the first pictures surfaced, and twice when more details were found and the phone officially announced.

This will be the third time, and the purpose is to take note that the LG cellphone will soon become available on the UK market thanks to the popular mobile carrier Orange. In case you don’t remember, the LG-KC780 features a 8-megapixel camera, USB 2.0 as the interface to transfer files using wires, or Bluetooth if you want to go wireless.

So, besides Orange which carrier do you think will be the next target for the LG-KC780?

KC560 is the codename of the new cellphone made by LG, which is suppose to be the upgraded version of the previous model KG550.

One of details that makes this cellphone unusual is the inclusion of colored LEDs located on the bottom, and everytime there is an incoming call, those LEDs will start blinking. Additionally, the lights will blink accordingly to the music being played on the mobile phone. This can’t be considered a useful feature, so just consider it a stylish detail.

Anyhow, in terms of technical specifications, the LG KC560 boasts a 2.4-inch TFT screen, a good 3.2-megapixel camera with flash, and FM radio.

What will future phones bring us? We’ve seen Sony Ericsson’s expectations yesterday but a 20 megapixel camera is not enough. We need more hot details! Today we’re taking a look at LG Japan’s Mobile Design Contest. Designs like the fbt, a phone designed to make braille text messaging available; the Tap, a phone similar to a light switch; and the winner, Planet Phone which you can see in the picture here. It’s surface is round and it’s dotted with LEDs shic represent the friends you have. The more you talk with some people the more centered the light marking that person.
