Monday, 09 May 2011 10:37 Written by Chris 0 Comments

Canadian wireless provider Telus has announced that it is adding the LG Optimus 3G to its lineup, offsetting the Optimus One with its CDMA counterpart.

Very similar to the Optimus S carried by Sprint in the United States and sporting many of the same specs as the other devices in LG’s Optimus One series, the Optimus 3G has a 3.2 inch HVGA screen at 320×480 resolution and is powered by a 600MHz processor. Android 2.2 “Froyo,” slightly altered by LG, is on-board; additional features include a 3.2 megapixel with autofocus along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity.

The LG Optimus 3G is currently available from Telus for free on a three-year contract or at $529.99 with no obligation.

LG Optimus 3D Coming to Vodafone UK

Friday, 04 February 2011 12:38 Written by Chris 0 Comments

The world’s first 3D mobile phone is reportedly headed to the United Kingdom via Vodafone sooner rather than later, according to the mobile technology rumor mill.

LG has worked hard to keep the phone’s specifications under wraps until its official announcement at the Mobile World Congress later this month. What is known is that the Optimus 3D will offer a glasses-free 3D LCD display and will be capable, according to LG, of recording 3D video. Those video features are offset by both HDMI and DLNA connectivity to allow for easy media sharing.

Stay tuned for the important details, including the official announcement from Vodafone and pricing.

The LG Apex will be available via U.S. Cellular tomorrow, November 19, at a price of $79.99 USD after an $80 mail-in rebate (they still do those?).

LG has announced great sales success with its GD510 Pop feature phone with over one million units sold in the first 100 days since release.

With a 3 inch WQVGA touchscreen display and optional solar charger, the GD510 Pop quickly became one of the company’s most popular feature phones, offering mid-range add-ons such as a three megapixel camera and included photo and video editing apps for a low price.

LG Pop offers most of the benefits of a smartphone without the steep learning curve. There’s still a huge market out there for phones that do everything right out of the box.

Dr. Skott Ahn, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications

In celebration of its great success on store shelves, LG plans to release the GD510 in two new colors next month: aqua blue and lime green.
