The only information we had on LG's heretofore elusive KB770 was a not-at-all detailed
FCC report. Now, however, we're getting our first good glimpse courtesy of a thorough review and hands-on extravaganza originating in the Czech Republic. LG has clearly designed this one with mobile TV and multimedia in mind, and that huge retractable antenna should make for easy reception for those in DVB-T territories. The overall design isn't a great departure from other like-minded handsets (read: the
Vu), though critics did find the UI impressively simple to navigate and use. Sadly, the actual quality of the mobile TV -- which, again, is the main selling point here -- left a bit to be desired. All in all, the KB770 just didn't seem to execute as well as it should given the 8,900CZK ($471) price tag, but if you're still interested in seeing what it looks like from every angle imaginable (yes, even
that one), the read link should be the next place your browser points to.

His index finger and small finger are same size...
Sweet raptor jesus you're right!
OH LORDS
They look like the little frozen sausages you get in a box from the super market
The creepy thing is that those are the only two fingers on his hand
Lobster boy!
The keys on the front look a little like the ones on the htc 4g. The GUI looks nice tho, better then the old school looking one on the prada phone
What is there are only three fongers all the same size? Is this Homer's hand?
Fongers. Dammit, I meant vingers.
I wish I could delete all this.
Hey, fongers gave you highest rank this round. You should thank them, whatever they are.
Not just 1 , but a triple!
Those fingers made me a little bit sick
Yet ANOTHER resistive touchscreen phone....
Sorry, but there's too many of 'em! Aaaaaaagghhhhh
Kaaaaaaaaaahhhhhnnnnn!
Damn, that is small.
That's what she said.
...
Someone had to do it!
Should've known...
Very nice,
this phone is displaying czech news tv (ČT24) with broadcast named "Před 25 lety" (Before 25 years). This show is serving communism propagandstic news which was broadcasted before 25 years. Funny thing is, that this red comrades never would have thought, that they will be pictured on imperialistic phone, photographed with imperialistic camera and placed on imperialistic website - Engadget. :D
The price is not correct, because 8 900 CZK is including VAT which is in Czech republic 19%.
In internet shops (http://zbozi.cz/?sId=vPREdKSAo785&q=LG+KB770&maxStockAvailability=-1&atDepotOnlyFlag=0&stars=-1&createTime=&credibility=&itemType=new&order=cheapest&minPrice=&maxPrice=&oldRegion=®ion=&expanded=0) is priced about 7 000 CZK excluding VAT, in dollars $372 :).
Personally, I don't think that most consumers are interested in mobile DVB. Watching TV on a 3" screen is not my idea of fun, nor do I think it's most peoples. However, if the iPhone had DVB capability, I'm sure the iFans would be creaming themselves over it,
So its an LG Vu. Whoop de doo. Everything is news to Engadget when it happens in Europe.
I need of those in the US that will work with the ATSC or MPH system, I need a replacement for my NHJ VTV101, but first they would have to make it around $150 or less.
