Cnet reviews the Virgin Mobile LG Aloha: “The LG Aloha for Virgin Mobile is so devoid of outside features that even an external display and a volume rocker are absent. Normally, we’re not fond of flip phones that have no external displays. While we realize that its lack of a screen helps account for the Virgin Mobile LG Aloha’s low price, we still miss being able to check a caller’s identity without opening the handset. That leaves just a headset jack on the left spine, a charger port on the LG Aloha’s bottom end, and a small red light that shows through the front flap. It blinks to let you know the Virgin Mobile LG Aloha is on, but you can turn the light off if you prefer.

The good: The handset is a simple, user-friendly phone with voice dialing.

The bad: The Virgin Mobile LG Aloha’s design feels somewhat cheap, and the phone’s call quality wasn’t reliable. Also, it lacks an external display and external volume buttons.

The bottom line: The Aloha is a functional, basic phone, but there are better such handsets in Virgin Mobile’s lineup.”

Powerful dual stereo speakers, external music controls and screen, and a microSD memory port that supports up to 4 GB of memory round out this media-rich handset. Bluetooth-capable, the Red LG VX8350 supports headset, hands-free, stereo music, phone book access, basic printing, object push for vCard and vCalendar profiles and is also equipped with an easy-to-use 1.3 megapixel camera and camcorder.”

PART I: Viewty... The Phone I am conscious that I will be looking at LG Viewty as a connectivity-dependent mobile user as much as a serious photographer. Expectations will be high, naturally. I first savoured a pre-launch engineering unit a month ago, and wrote about it briefly on how it enticed me, superficially, as a 5-megapixel cameraphone with a real camera. Now it's time to take a deeper look, up-close and personal. Viewty uses a F/.8 lens certified by Schneider-Kreuznach of Germany LG

Cnet reviews the Verizon LG VX8550 Chocolate: “The Verizon LG VX8550 Chocolate is definitely a luscious-looking handset, with a design that doesn’t stray too far from the original. It retains that familiar chocolate bar shape; a rectangular chassis clad in a glossy surface and silver accents reminiscent of candy wrapping. At 3.85 inches tall by 1.87 inches wide by 0.67 inch thick, the LG VX8550 Chocolate’s a little taller and wider than the original Chocolate, but not by much. You slide the phone open by pushing the bottom of the phone, which can be done easily with one hand. The slider mechanism moves up and down easily, and the phone feels pretty solid in the hand and when held next to the ear. The phone’s glossy exterior does make it really prone to fingerprint smudges however.

The good: The Verizon LG VX8550 Chocolate has a much improved design over the original Chocolate, with a mechanical scroll wheel that has a trace motion light, a touch pad that vibrates, and an overall sleeker look. The LG VX8550 has an impressive multimedia feature set that includes a megapixel camera, a music player, and access to Verizon’s V Cast ...

Cnet reviews the LG VX8350: “The LG VX8350 is now in a smooth, pebble-like shape with soft curves all around. Measuring 3.73 inches by 1.97 inches by 0.87 inch, the LG VX8350 is a joy to hold in the hand due to its curvy design, and it’s also quite lightweight at 3.3 ounces. The overall design is far more ergonomic than its predecessor, with a much more streamlined and stylish appearance.

The good: The LG VX8350 has a stylish and curvy design, external music player controls, and a microSD card slot. Its robust feature set includes a megapixel camera, EV-DO support, stereo Bluetooth, and more. Performance was excellent as well.

The bad: The LG VX8350’s camera lacks a flash, and its stereo speakers are located in the back of the phone.

The bottom line: The handset is an excellent multimedia phone that’s compact as well as powerful.”

Addicts of Activision's Guitar Hero console game will no longer be confined to fretting their faux guitar in the living room, game room, or basement. Soon they'll be able to play from their mobile phone.

Thanks to Hands-On Mobile, a mobile games company from San Diego, I got to test my rhythm-matching mettle with Guitar Hero Mobile on a slick LG VX9400.

The first thing you'll notice about Guitar Hero Mobile is how familiar it feels; just like the console game's little cousin ought. Being able to seamlessly hop into the popular rock-star universe is no coincidence. Hands-On Mobile worked closely with Activision to import songs, graphics, characters, and gameplay from Guitar Hero editions II and III. Players of the mobile version choose from two characters, Axel Steel or Judy Nails, and at first have a nonchoice of a Les Paul guitar. Stellar guitar skills unlock three Gibsons, vetted by Gibson itself....

The LG Chocolate is becoming a timeless classic. First released by Verizin in August of last year, the phone cannot stop selling and continues to be a popular option in all its minor iterations. Now that we’re officially in the Christmas season, Verizon has an interesting new LG Chocolate for its customers: Blue Ice.

It’s the same LG Chocolate with the touch-sensitive controls and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Needless to say, some are going to hate the new “fresh” color while others are simply going to love it. We’d be looking out for some live photos of the LG Chocolate Blue Ice. Hopefully, we could update our readers on it before you finalize your Christmas shopping list.

United States seems to be slow to catch up the pace of mobile phone development in other countries (Okay, iPhone is the only exception. Special thanks to Steve Jobs!). As we were celebrating the arrival of LG shine to AT&T right before Christmas, LG announced that the sales of LG Shine had reached 5 millions mark. So, that means there are currently 5 millions people in this world using their LG shine phone while we as Americans are celebrating the arrival of this LG phone with metallic finish.

Well, I must admit that LG Shine is definitely a gorgeous looking cellular phone that comes equipped with nice features and specifications. The Shine phone deserves to be successful. Features include a 2.2-inch QVGA TFT screen, 2.0-Megapixel digital camera with Schneider-kreuznch lenz, built-in MP3 music player, micro-SD expansion slot, and Bluetooth.

MobileBurn reviews the LG Venus VX-8800: “The LG Venus VX-8800 Venus is suitable for both men and women. Men will appreciate the clean lines, solid feel, and high-tech dual-screen wizardry. Women will like the LG Venus VX-8800’s compact form factor, and how pretty the user interface and touchscreen are when compared with other phones. I think it is a win for both groups.

Personally, I really like the LG Venus VX-8800. If not for the recently launched VX10000 Voyager, I would have probably thought the Venus to be the most interesting phone in Verizon’s handset stable. The Venus is stylish and different, it has all of the core functions that people need or want, and it has no major problems. That is what I call a winner. I give it a “Highly Recommended” rating.”

A Light Blue version of the LG Chocolate VX8550 for Verizon Wireless is now available for all you sky-blue aficionados.

The price has not been changed and is still $99.99 (at Verizon Wireless stores) which makes the LG Chocolate VX8550 a pleasant gift for the holidays.”

First of all, it wasn’t a Samsung A303 but an LG phone that melted inside the shirt pocket of a Korean man found dead two days ago.

LG has been at pains to explain their safety precautions regarding the batteries in their cellphones: `But we believe that the battery was very unlikely to explode. Our battery is wrapped in aluminum foil, so when there is an external shock, it should just melt, not explode.”

It turns out they were right. The LG phone has been used to cover up a manslaughter incident, which killed Seo. Fellow employee Kwon Young-sup accidentally hit Seo while backing up a hydraulc rig. He is now charged with manslaughter. How Kwon managed to melt the cellphone we don’t know but wait for more updates to this very interesting case.
