LG Electronics today showcased its 2006 lineup at CTIA, highlighting the latest in multimedia messaging, video telephony, terrestrial DMB functionality and quad band technology. Style is exhibited with several new swivel designs while other handsets give a glimpse into the future of mobile phones in the U.S. Featured LG handsets at CTIA 2006 include:
LG LX550 - The LX550 plays MP3s from a microSD removable disk allowing consumers to download and play their favorite full-length tunes right on the phone. Audio can also be transmitted to car stereo or other FM receivers via Bluetooth. Other fun features include an integrated camcorder and 1.3-megapixel CMOS camera, and 64 MB of microSD (TransFlash) external memory. The phone's touch wheel, automatic speech recognition capability and speakerphone make it fun and effortlessly easy to use. Users can express themselves creatively with interchangeable faceplates and by composing their own ring tones manually or by humming a melody.
LG VX8300 - Music lovers can use the VX8300 music-on-demand capability to download songs they want to play on the VX8300's integrated MP3 player. Like the LX550, the VX8300 offers music through dual stereo speakers or on a Bluetooth enabled stereo headset. For imaging, the VX8300 also features a 1.3-megapixel camera/video recorder. Its EV-DO and mobile Web capability go hand in hand to make the phone a high-speed portal to the Internet. The VX8300's advanced voice recognition combines with other features like Simultaneous GPS to provide end users with new and interesting capabilities.
Chocolate Phone - LG's ultra-thin, lightweight phone, the Chocolate Phone gives users a stylish handheld, while including the functionality including touch pad buttons, MP3 music player with stereo sound and multitasking capability.
LG VX3400 - The VX3400 from LG is for consumers who believe in keeping life simple, offering a full-color internal display, melody composer for creating custom ringtones and an easy, one-touch speakerphone, all packed into an ultra-compact clamshell.
LG LX350 - With Bluetooth capabilities, speakerphone, and speaker-independent voice recognition the new LX350 camera phone keeps consumers connected wherever you go. With dual full-color LCDs, users can see who's calling without a flip or view Picture Mail on the large internal screen. The external LCD also conceals when the phone is inactive, giving the LX350 a smooth and sleek appearance. With 3D graphics support, games will look great as well.
LG CG225 - The CG225 provides essential functionality and superior performance. Packaged within a sleek, black clamshell, the CG225's VGA camera lets consumers take color photos, show them off on the rich color display, or send them to friends via MMS. With its full-duplex speakerphone users can talk handsfree while on-the-go around the globe. And now with MSN Messenger, users can IM around the world, as well.
LG CG300 - Launched in March, the CG300 is the latest Push-to-Talk phone with Cingular. The CG300 allows consumers to speak with up to 30 people instantly. It offers advanced Bluetooth and camera features as well. Talk handsfree using a Bluetooth headset, take and save up to 300 photos, or switch to speakerphone with one touch. With the advancement of quad-band technology, users have the ability to communicate almost anywhere worldwide.
LG CU320 - Launched at CES, the CU320 is one of the first UMTS phones created for Cingular. The phone's key features include support for 3G Cingular Video and a 1.3-megapixel rotating camera/video with flash and the ability to record up to 25 minutes of video. The CG300's built in MP3 music player features stereo sound and a TransFlash memory port for added storage. The first true multi-tasking phone, the CU320 allows users to create and send text messages while listening to music.
I don't know about the other phones, but the VX8300 is the one I'm interested in.
