An embedded GPS receiver gives the LG-KC910i the ability to geo-tag photos for later plotting on an interactive map. It can also record video from 5fps up to 120fps, which allows it to record in both fast and slow motion. The phone also plays DivX and Xvid movies straight out of the box, without the need for additional encoding. There are also built in WiFi, microSD card slot and 7.2Mbps HSDPA wireless connection.
