Proving that the Prada phones are somehow still relevant in the exciting world of cell phones, LG Electronic today issued a short, concise press release announcing that the company has sold one million units of said model.

The phone debuted in March 2007 and is one of the first few phones to feature a complete touch-screen. Despite its stellar performance and overall good features, the phone was panned for being too expensive and not featuring 3G.

LG is currently prepping a sequel to the Prada series.

The KC910 aka Renoir’s 8-megapixel camera and its touchscreen interface were caught on camera recently and although it’s not a huge leap for LG in terms of technology, the camera alone should be enough to win over LG Viewty fans and photogs alike. The LG KC910 is shaped up in the usual bar form factor for a touchscreen cellphone and is a multimedia powerhouse with its ability to play Xvid and DivX videos natively in addition to many other usual formats with a big beautiful QVGA display to watch them on. Dubbed as the Veiwty II, the KC910 also carries a host of connectivity options including Bluetooth and WiFi along with 3G/HSDPA support and a GPS receiver for turn-by-turn navigation and geotagging photos. With the Schneider-Kreuznach-certified 8-megapixel lens being the strong point, this touchscreen device has a lot of camera-centric features like a Xenon flash, auto/manual focus, face/smile tracking, blink detection, and a bevy of creative shot modes to equal that of an average digital camera.

The LG KC910 will hit the streets in October, but until then, a couple of more pictures after the break should keep you satisfied.

The 5-megapixel shooter from LG just got a touch more sexier as the LG Secret will be available in two more hues of Ruby Violet and Titan Gold in addition to the Aqua Blue and Dark Silver that it presently wears. As we already know, the LG Secret is made from carbon fiber and tempered glass to get its dainty look and has a 2.4-inch touchscreen display to watch those 120 fps videos captured on its 5-megapixel lens. Other secrets it holds include 3G support, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, and microSD expansion up to 4GB. With a suggested price of 690,000 KRW (approx. $606), LG plans to add the Ruby Violet model to its European ranks while the Titan Gold will be limited to Asia when it is released.

Sprint has recently lifted the curtains on LG’s latest handset the, very sleek, LX600 Lotus. This phone will feature a very unique design, as you can see above, in the sense that it will feature a full QWERTY keypad in a flip style phone.

The Lg LX600 will feature Bluetooth 2.0 along with a 2.0MP camera and will be avaiable on Sprint in October for $149.99, with the QWERTY keyboard as the obvious selling point.

This is probably one of the more femenine phones due to it’s compact size and, hopefully optional, purple finish.

I know I wouldn’t want to miss Prison Break’s latest episode even if it had too many shark jumps for my taste, but if I am ever stuck in a meeting during its air time, LG seems to have the perfect solution to keep me updated. The LG KB770 is a bar-style phone that integrates a DVB-T tuner that can pick up free terrestrial signals along with a huge 3-inch touchscreen display and TV-out feature. Apart from this fact and its HSDPA support, other features are less than stellar with a 3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and microSD support. The LG KB770 is currently available in Germany for about 448 Euros.

We have seen two cell phones that can boast of a 8-megapixel camera as of now, but the LG KC910 has another trick up its sleeve, a touchscreen. Built along the lines of LG’s successful Veiwty, the KC910 is endowed with a 8-megapixel camera with a Xenon flash, auto and manual focus, face tracking, and smile/blick detection. It can also record videos at a whopping 120 frames, although that would probably mean recording in QVGA instead VGA resolution. Apart from the camera, the KC910 is also a multimedia behemoth, being capable of playing DivX and Xvid movies while putting out excellent sounds by way of Dolby technology. Coming to its connectivity options, this touchscreen cell phone has WiFi, 3G/HSDPA support, and built-in GPS for turn-by-turn navigation. There’s also a Jogging Buddy feature for the fitness fanatics, which uses GPS to track the user’s jogging routes and provide useful information. Photogs won’t have to wait long to get their hands on this device, as the KC910 is scheduled for an October release with an undisclosed price tag.

We have a new phone set to arrive soon from Verizon Wireless. The LGVX9600 has just been approved by the FCC. There’s no official new from either Verizon or LG. The phone will have CDMA 850/1900 support, EVDO and Bluetooth with A2DP connectivity. There’s a 3 inch LCD screen with a resolution of 480×240. A QWERTY keyboard is also said to be available. The game pad will go well with the 3D graphics GUI. The MP3 player with BGM and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR will play its part. (more…)

A new LG phone was found approved by the FCC this week. The phone, identified as LG CP250, has not yet been officially announced by LG. It’s a dual-band GSM phone capable of EDGE data speeds and works in the US 850/1900MHz networks.

Not too heavy on the features - it’s got Bluetooth and a basic VGA camera.

Remember the LG Prada phone? It’s updated, enhanced version - which, by the way, is not confirmed - is already making people sit up and take notice. According to the rounds doing the Internets, the phone, dubbed Prada II, will feature a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera and a wide QVGA display with touch capability.

As far as cell phone networks go, this one can happily work on 850/2100MHz as well as HSDPA. The thing is also supposed to bundle an FM radio and WiFi on board.

Yeah, the Olympics is almost over. In fact, there’s only one more week to go. But I guess its still worth mentioning LG’s new M-Sports Edition that allows users (mainly the Korean Olympic team) to receive game results and scores in real-time.

I guess this allows users to keep track of results, schedules and scores of their favorite events. But of course, users would need to sign up to a service to be able to use this.

(more…)

The KF390 will be available in select stores and dealers across the island country starting on August 4 retailing for 559 AUD (about $526) or on a 30 AUD monthly plan from Telstra starting on August 18.
