LG Electronics launched the special edition of its best-selling 3G music phone, LG-U880, targeting the premium handset market.

South China Morning Post, a prestigious pan-Asian daily based in Hong Kong, introduced the LG U-880 as a visible improvement on 3G phones in terms of size. The model, which was released last November, is about to record LG's fourth million-seller hit and the newly-released Cavalli edition is expected to accelerate sales.

The LG-U880 Special Edition is exclusively designed by Roberto Cavalli, Italian-born world-class fashion designer and has been simultaneously launched in 7 countries including the UK, Italy, Austria, Hong Kong and Australia. Earlier in December, LG released a limited edition of its U8360 model designed by Cavalli, offering only 999 units in Italy at 999 euros, which proved to be a great success.

The LG-U880 is only 18.2mm thick and is equipped with sophisticated multimedia features to suit fashion-conscious trendsetters. With large memory capacity, users can store more than 20 MP3 songs. The model also supports a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, video telephony, T-Flash external memory and Bluetooth.
