The much anticipated LG KF900 is soon to be available in the US. The phone was released a few days ago but hasn’t been available in the US yet. But now, it seems as though the wait is over as FCC has approved the retailing of the LG KF900. The  LG KF900 is the successor of the  extremely popular LG Prada phone. This time some fancy features come to compliment the exquisite looks of the designer phone. And believe it or not the only difference in design is the addition of a QWERTY keyboard.

The new 3G HSDPA LG handset features besides the new keyboard a 5MP camera with Schneider Kreuzach lens, 3 inch WQVGA 400×240px touchscreen, Wi-fi, Prada ring-tones, FM tuner, TV out, Bluetooth, media player, and Bluetooth.

LG has yet again renamed its popular clamshell, the LG Wine as the KH4500 for its debut in Korea. The KH4500 is already available in the European market and Canada as the KF300 and NTT DoCoMo has released it in Japan as the FOMA L706ie in July 2008. For Korea, KTF will be the lucky carrier who will start selling this device starting today, October 16. Although the names are different, the feature set has remained constant and the KH4500 is no different from any other Wine versions that have been released already.

The LG KH4500 has a big 2.4-inch 262k QVGA display molded into its flip form factor and along with a host of other features fit for a mid-range clamshell, barring the HSDPA support.

LG has recently announced the release of its three new mobile phones at AT&T. The first among the latest cell phones is LG Incite. It is a Windows Mobile smart device. It bears a resemblance with Vu.

The last model in the latest offerings is the CF360. Well, there is no information of the price and availability yet. Keep guessing.

TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology is a Chinese company which is said to start making mobile devices which will run on Google’s Android OS. Production will start in early 2009. There aren’t that many details to play with yet but we know that TechFaith is usually working with Motorola, LG, Sprint, France Telecom, SK Telecom, CECT, Amoi and Bird. We should get more details in November. I am already starting to thing that TechFaith plus Motorola might equal Android soon!

LG Electronics launches its flagship handset ‘Secret(models LG-SU600/ KU6000/ LU6000)’ in Korea. It features timeless and elegant design of the phone enhanced by stylish materials such as carbon fiber and tempered glass.

The LG Incite is said to be coming from AT&T sometime in the future. We don’t know exactly what the Incite will look like as we have only some rumored stuff about it. The phone will have Windows Mobile, a 240 x 400 touchscreen LCD, a 3 megapixel camera, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth support and more.

By more we mean we have absolutely no clue of what else the Incite will bring to the table. The device is expected to hit later this year so we’d expect some FCC shots soon.

The LG KC780 is a slider phone which has a great 8 megapixel camera. LG has announced it today and we’re going to take a look at its official features. Too bad there’s no 3G, WiFi or GPS to start with. They would have come in handy for sending lots of pictures to friends and geo-tagging them. But it looks like LG didn’t think about that!

Here are the official features:

• GSM 900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE connectivity
• 2.4 inch 240×320 QVGA 262K color display
• 8 megapixel autofocus camera
• FM Radio
• Built-in accelerometer
• Divx playback
• 140 MB of user memory
• microSD memory card slot (up to 8 GB)
• USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR
• 900 mAh Li-Ion battery, 6 hours talk and 450 hours standby time.

If you are interested in an mid-range phone with a great phone, the KC780 will arrive in Europe in November while other Asian markets are going to follow soon.

More and more cellphone manufacturers are getting into the whole App Store movement. Just like the Eee PC concept made most of the PC manufacturers design their own, Apple’s App Store has convinced others to create their own stores. We have RIM, T-Mobile and Google stores and now LG steps up to the plate.

LG launched its LG Mobile Developer Network which will help developers both developers and LG to launch new applications designed for the mobile world. While Apple has a very successful operation going on which is pretty profitable for both the company and the developers, I’ll be really interested to see how LG for example is going to perform.

The LG KC910, or the Renoir, is finally available in Europe. Asia and Latin America will follow in November. Africa and the Middle East are next in December while China will get it in January. Something seems to be missing wouldn’t you say?

Here are the official features of the Renoir:

• Wi-Fi
• A-GPS
• 3G via HSDPA
• 8 megapixel camera
• DivX video and Dolby sound
• 3 inch, 240 x 400 touchscreen display
• 3.95 mm thick

The Renoir seems to be a worthy adversary. It has lots of camera options like the Touch Shot which lets you tell the camera what it should be focusing on. Not to mention it’s the slimmest 8 megapixel cameraphone available so far.

So LG hit me with some prices. And maybe with updated release dates for you know, only the rest of the world?

One of the first times we mentioned the LG Wine was to talk about its South Korean debut, and that happened like 6 months ago, in April. Another recent mention was made 3 months ago, on July, when the Wine was presented in Europe and Japan.

As you can see, the worldwide expansion of this simple cellphone is pretty good, and to prove that point Canada has joined the list by offering the LG Wine threw an exclusive deal with Bell Mobility.

About the phone itself, what can we say… it is basic but works like a charm. It features a 2.2-inch display, 1.3-megapixel camera, bluetooth, and the special detail – being compatible with GPS navigation.

The LG Wine is available in 2 colors – black and gold – for $80 with a 3-year contract.

Adel Bazerghi from Bell, comments:

Not only does the LG WINE dazzle with its sophisticated appearance, but it also sets the standards for ergonomics and ease of use. The LG Wine is more than just a phone. It’s a statement about your lifestyle.

LG has announced yet another cellphone that has touchscreen as one of the main features. The LG KP500 was announced today and will be officially in the shelves on late October, for an unknown price.

There aren’t many specific details about the new KP500, but we could gather that it will come with a 3-inch touchscreen accompanied by a Stylus, making the usability better and the probability of smudges popping up much smaller, unlike with happens when using the iPhone…

After T-Mobile and HTC have finally proven that the Android OS is working properly on a phone, more manufacturers and carriers will want to sell their own Android powered smartphones.

We’ve seen Motorola expanding it’s Android project and now it’s Samsung and LG ready to commit to creating an Android phone each in 2009. Both companies are likely to launch their Android handsets by Q3 of 2009 but not sooner. Mirae Asset Securities says the delay is caused by carriers like Vodafone which are skeptic about Google’s OS, although that’s not a confirmed, official statement. Does that mean that not everyone is thrilled about the Android?
