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.

In terms of prices, the LG Rhythm at U.S. Cellular only costs $80 after rebate and picking a 1-year or 2-year contract. 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. On top of these music features, it has GPS, bluetooth 2.0, and a slot for microSD memory cards of 16GB.

We have a hot rumor for you all. It looks like LG is working on multi-touch displays somewhere in its Korean factories and it looks like these new display will be manufactured for Apple’s iMac soon. The only question is what is Apple going to do about touchscreen displays? Is Steve Jobs going to get those touchscreen displays in iMacs or MacBooks? Well we’ll keep you updated on this matter. For the time being we’re going to see what LG is going to do with the new displays and then we’re going to look at what Apple is planning to do.

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!

Boy did LG surprise us or what? In the following year the company is going to release 125 totally unique handsets. That’s a phone released fore every three days. Who said that the economical crisis is going to affect everyone? 25 new handsets are said to arrive in the UK alone which means a totally new LG phone is going to be launched every two weeks. It seems we are going to have an interesting 2009 from LG. We’ll just have to wait out and see what’s going to happen.

So guys and gals what do you think? Is this LG a winner?

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?

LG has announced yet another mobile phone into the Asian market, this time codenamed SH460 and categorized as a flip cellphone.

At this point there aren’t exact details about its price or availability date, but there are a few known features, like a 2-megapixel camera, bluetooth, and a built-in electronic dictionary. As for the screens, both are TFTs and while the external is smaller and measures 1.3-inches, the internal has a screen with 2.2-inches that provides a resolution of 240×320 pixels.

It was just about time LG launched the Prada II, and so they did! Here we have it. It is of course designed in that same way. But enough of that, let me tell you something about its features, because there sure is something to talk about: 3G via HSDPA, WiFi support, a 3-inch capacitive WQVGA touchscreen and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. There’s also a 5 megapixel camera and a second camera for video calls, a microSD card slot, haptic feedback and active flash menu system.

The Prada Link watch can be bundled with the phone for just $867 over in Europe for now. The watch has a 0.9 inch 120 x 56 OLED display, Bluetooth and a leather strap.

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. The more you ignore your ex girlfriends the farther away from the center the light gets.
