Sprint prepping to launch LG's "Fusic II"?

LG's original Fusic was fairly well received and reviewed, but left a little bit to be desired in the phone-as-iPod-replacement category -- and with a name like Fusic, this may have been LG's goal. Not to be dissuaded, rumor has it that LG is set to bang out a revision two handset named, you guessed it, Fusic II. The specs we peeped don't show too many changes as the screen resolution remains the same at 220 x 176, it is still rocking EV-DO, and while the camera is still only spitting out 1.3 megapixel pics, it has been relocated to the front. We don't have specifics on the handset's size, but we do hear it's weighing in at 99 grams now instead of the portly 120 grams of the original -- and smaller, thinner, and lighter are three things we definitely adore. Release is apparently slated for "Mid 2007" and you can be sure we'll be back before then with more info.

It's also much better looking. Cell phone hut owners all over American shopping malls were yelling, "I could have sold a million of these if it was only black instead of white!"

The "Fusic II" will actually be called "Muziq." Mark my words.

Whatever they call it.. Expect it to release on July 15th at an SRP of $299.99 in Pink and Black.

Is that anything like "fugly"?

[Johan S @ Jun 19th 2007 2:41PM]

220 x 176?? This phone isn't worth more than $50. When are we going to phones made with this display: http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/007/01/3_inch_wvga_display.htm

There was a Fusic I?

[Nando @ Jun 19th 2007 4:03PM]

Fusic makes the people come together! Yeah!!!

[Kal-El @ Jun 19th 2007 5:21PM]

No offense to Fusic owners, but the Fusic I was fugly. It was a great phone, but if LG put the Fusic in something like the body of the Chocolate, it would have sold millions.

Fusic:portly 120g vs. iPhone:svelte 135g

Good thing the iPhone isn't in the "phone-as-iPod-replacement category".

[Chris @ Jun 19th 2007 6:45PM]

Is that like Fugly?

Q: Are you playing music right now?

A: Not just Music. F***ing Music. FUSIC!

I really like the design...

[strider_mt2k @ Jun 19th 2007 10:41PM]

The best thing about the Fusic was it's built-in FM modulator for listening on a nearby radio or stereo.

More media-phones should offer that.
