The KU970: LG's HSDPA Shine launches
LG's taken its glamorous Shine series to the next level -- the 3G level, that is -- officially rolling out the KU970 this week. Despite FCC involvement, the KU970 doesn't include any bands of particular interest to Americans, rocking only 2100MHz HSDPA (at 3.6Mbps, no less) in addition to triband GSM. Visually, the Shine formula remains the same (why mess with a good thing?), while guts include 2 megapixel primary and VGA secondary cams, a QVGA display, a full half gig of internal storage, and the full suite of media support. Though clearly destined for the European market, there's no word yet on when exactly it'll hit.[Via Unwired View]
LG KU970: a Shine with HSDPA?
One area where the LG Shine doesn't, well... shine is in the data department. If you can look past the rather dazzling shell of the KE970 and take a glance at the spec sheet, you'll find that it lacks any semblance of 3G-ness, but not to fret: it looks like LG is acknowledging that fatal flaw and correcting it with the KU970. Czech site iDNES.cz is reporting that the phone's formula will stay basically untouched from its predecessor; improvements will be mostly in the guts, with an HSDPA radio, 512MB of onboard storage, and a front-facing cam for video calling. Seems believable enough, considering that the Shine's look is fresh and a model matching the KU970's description just hit the FCC. Any love for the US 3G bands here, LG?[Via Unwired View]Read - iDNES.czRead - FCC documents
