LG has unleashed its new LG-SH150A showcasing an AMOLED screen, being among the first Korean AMOLEDs. Featuring an estimated 2.4 inch sized display, DMB TV support, a 2.0megapixel camera, HSDPA 7.2MBps networking capability, and multimedia player, this LG-SH150A will only be available in Korea for 440,000 Won ($466).
Initially, the LG Rumor experienced launch delays and stock shortages and to top all these problems, Sprint is now stopping the shipment of the handset to its retail stores, putting a halt on the sales of the phone while it fixes the error with the phone’s firmware. The debugging menu that was meant for engineers was left active in the firmware thus enabling accidental access when navigating the main menu or dialing numbers. Upon activation, this debugging menu will wipe the phone and the phone will be required to be sent back to the factory to reinstall the firmware.
The LG Rumor will not be sold by Sprint until the problem is fixed and applied to existing stock of Sprint LG Rumor handsets.

The LG Chocolate came in black, red, green and white and now they have added the newest addition to the Chocolate line-up - the LG Chocolate in Blue Ice that comes with a silky smooth slider design coated in frosty blue finish.
Other than the change in color, there will be nothing different with the LG Chocolate Blue Ice which still has the same old vibration feedback on the touch sensitive keypad, a navigation wheel with the classic red trace motion lighting and a microSD memory card slot which is capable of holding up to 4GB worth of data.

Through the latest LG Touch Concept, Designer Yeop Kim portrays what a futuristic phone is going to look like. Nevertheless, we do not have to wait too long before we can get hold of a handset like this as most of the technologies used in it are already available in the market.
LG Touch, simply from its name, tells you that it is an all touch screen phone and comes with a few accessories such as remote control, earphones and to top it all, a mobile phone cradle that has a full QWERTY keyboard. Aside the large screen, it also has a smaller screen on the top for displaying details such as who’s calling or what song is playing.
It would definitely be LG’s BIG loss not to hire the designer.
