A sleek, slim and feature-rich 3G handset, was chosen this year for the GSM Association's "3G for All" campaign by a consortium of the 12 largest mobile operators. LG's new 3G bar-type phone makes it possible for customers to access a wide variety of wireless multimedia services -including video clips, audio files and other content -in less time and at a reasonable price. A supporting external memory slot makes the phone perfect for playing video and music. Its multi-tasking capability also let customers use the phone without turning off the music.

What a great slogan by LG, 3G for All! I wish I could say the same for my fellow in US where 3G are more like 3 Where? But enough about my jealousy of those 3G zoned users. The LG-KU250 will be available from twelve of the largest mobile operators in the world.

The phone will support GSM Tri Band and UMTS under WCDMA network. Sporting 1.76” LCD with 176X220 resolutions, 3G Video Telephony, Dual Camera (1.3Megapixel + VGA), Easy Internet Access up to 386kbps, Audio codecs such as MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA, Micro SD Slot, and speaker phone.

“LG is very excited about collaborating with the GSMA to lead the ongoing evolution and deployment of 3G technology worldwide,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Through this partnership, we will bring all people closer to new mobile capabilities and they will benefit from higher-quality wireless multimedia 3G services. LG will provide them with attractive and feature-rich 3G devices while at the same time breaking price barriers for subscribers in the global market.”
