LG Electronics said Tuesday it has signed an agrement with YouTube, the world's biggest video-sharing website, to develop a mobile phone which can operate the service. The proposed model will enable users to upload, view and share video clips or user-created content online freely without using computers.

For upcoming YouTube-enabled handsets, LG will apply a new user interface for easily accessing and uploading video content. LG's YouTube-enabled handsets will be available worldwide starting at end of this year.

LG first announced its agreement to pre-install Google's services on its handsets in March 2007. As a first step in this partnership, LG and Google have already launched the world's first HSDPA smartphone with Google services pre-installed, the LG-KS10, which features Google Search, Gmail Mobile, and Google Maps Mobile. The LG-KS10 first hit shelves in Italy this past April.

: With that case in mind, does a particular LG user have to have mobile-enabled web and data plan? What if a person doesn't want to use them, but still have an LG handset, such as the LG VX9800, LG VX9900, Motorola Q, etc.? (Regardless of phone carrier) Also, what other plans (other than text) does a user have to have? Thanks.
