FCC: LG KE800 A-OK
Thanks to a few documents popping up in the FCC's typical pot o' gold, it looks like folks in these parts should have no problem taking a bite of LG's latest Chocolate without those pesky FCC police (is there such a thing?) getting all in your face about it. The KE800 adds a few tasteful (or distasteful, depending on your personal perspective) bits of shiny metal to the original KG800, while the guts get upgraded with a 2 megapixel autofocus cam, EDGE data, and an FM radio. Of course, as long as the phone comes sans GSM 850 there isn't much hope of the KE800 seeing a carrier-subsidized offering in the States, but it looks like the feds will be happy to turn a blind eye now if you're willing to pay the premium to get one imported.
LG's KE800 Chocolate Platinum: the KG800's and KV-6000's pretty baby
Mmm, yummy leaked photos of LG's Chocolate v2, otherwise known as the KE800 Chocolate Platinum, unofficially that is. While it certainly shares the looks of LG's KV-6000 Black Label II slider, this model goes tri-band 900/1800/1900 with GPRS (like the KG800) and now EDGE data while doubling the internal memory to 256MB and packing a bigger 2 megapixel shooter with autofocus and macro mode. What's more, you get an FM radio to accompany that media player supporting MP3/AAC/AAC+/AAC++ and WAV formats along with microSD expansion and Bluetooth stereo support to make this is viable music phone. All these bumps yet it measures a scant 9.9-mm / 0.39-inch thin compared to its relatively chubby 15.2-mm / 0.69-inch VZW Chocolate cuz. No word on where or when but without the 850MHz band, we're happy to wait for this to go quad, right Cingular users?[Via Phonearena]
