A 3.5G touchscreen phone with an integrated digital TV tuner, the LG KB770 is an impressive looking multimedia monster that competes directly against iPhone class handsets, but it is just a little bit different enough to be distinctive.

The LG KB770 has a large 3" 400 x 240 pixel touchscreen display, but the key feature here is the KB770's DVB-T tuner which allows it to receive free-to-air digital TV broadcasts. In this respect, the KB770 is very like the LG HB620T, but this PDA-style format perhaps lends itself to television better.

In case you're confused by the letter soup that accompanies modern TV broadcasts, then DVB-T is the standard digital terrestrial signal that you might watch on your digital TV at home or via a set-top box. Unlike some other "TV capable" phones, this means that no special infrastructure is required. By comparison, the Nokia N96 uses the different DVB-H system which has much more limited coverage. On the other hand, DVB-H should have a lower power drain and give a more seamless viewing experience while on the move.

Remember though this is actually a mobile phone, and underneath this is a tri-band GSM device with WCDMA 2100 and support for GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSPDA data - in other words this is a 3G/3.5G capable device, but one aimed primarily at Europe. One thing missing from the LG KB770 is WiFi support, which is odd.

On the back is a 3 megapixel digital camera with autofocus, with a secondary camera on the front for video calling. The maximum video capture resolution is 320 x 240 pixels at 15 fps, which is adequate but not as good as many rivals. The LG KB770 also comes with a microSD slot, stereo Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The software includes a comprehensive multimedia player, email client, web browser and a personal information management application. Another omission from the KB770 is GPS - it would have been an ideal device for personal satellite navigation.

Despite all the features, the LG KB770 only weighs 109 grams (according to LG), and measures 108 x 53 x 14mm which isn't too bad for a device with a large display like this. Maximum talktime is quoted as 4 hours with up to 12 days standby time. We aren't certain of the viewing time for television transmissions.

LG say that the KB770 will be available in Germany from November onwards for a SIM-free retail price of about €449 (around £360). There's no word on the KB770's availability in other countries.

This is an impressive device, but just think how much more impressive it would have been with WiFi and GPS.. and perhaps a more sexy name than the "KB770".

The information came from the materials Bluetooth SIG - on the site of the organization appeared mention of Motorola Q11. However, the characteristics of the device is not known, except for the operating system Windows Mobile 6.1. According to some foreign sources, Motorola Q11 - an improved version of the model Motorola Q9h, perhaps it is already known on hearsay, as Motorola Alexander. This is not a CDMA-smartphone, a device for work in 2G and 3G networks (GSM / EDGE and UMTS / HSDPA), which will be sold worldwide. No details about the characteristics and timing of the issuance of Motorola Q11 no.

LG may be far behind Nokia in terms of total handset sales, but when it comes to CDMA-based devices, the Korean electronics manufacturer rules. As a matter of fact, LG led the global CDMA handset market for the sixth straight quarter in the Q2 2008, with shipments totaling 12.7 million units and accounting for a record-breaking 27.5% share in the segment.

Of that number, 7.6 million units or about 60% of all handsets were sold in the US market, only.

During the first quarter of this year, LG secured 25.9% of the global CDMA market - a substantial increase from 18.1% of the same quarter of a year earlier.

The second ranked CDMA handset vendor, Samsung, shipped 8.2 million handsets for a 17.7% market share in Q2 2008, and Motorola followed with shipments totaling 5.1 million units for an 11% share.

Now they [Sistema] along with their newly acquired company, Shyam Telecom, became the first new telecom operator to get pan-India start-up spectrum to offer mobile services.

India’s Communication and IT Minister A Raja has signed the file for allotting CDMA spectrum to Shyam Telecom for 21 circles except Rajasthan where the company is already offering services under the Oasis brand.

Shyam-Sistema has started rolling out network in various parts of the country and is hoping to start the services soon. They will be the third private CDMA-based pan-India operator apart from Anil Ambani’s Rcom and Tata Teleservices.

Other new telecom operators like Datacom, Unitech, Loop Telecom and Swan Telecom got the GSM frequencies in six circles and the government is looking at the availability of spectrum in other circles, too.

First of all, the lines between a portable media player with phone capabilities and that of a phone with portable media player functions are extremely blur these days, no thanks to hardware manufacturers that cram in just about any and every function imaginable into a handset, and the LG KC910 is one of them. This quad-band GSM cell phone will feature the following specifications :-

  • 7.2Mbps HSDPA
  • 14mm thin
  • 3" display at 400 x 240 resolution
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • 8 megapixel autofocus camera
  • GPS navigation
  • Video recording capability
  • TV Out
  • DivX and XviD video support

The LG KC910 will be out later this October, but there is no word on pricing just yet.

…so says Nokia.

The statement is based on the results of a trial run between a number of parties, including the aforementioned Finnish vendor, O2, London Underground, and Barclays. In the “O2 wallet” trial, users carried an NFC-equipped Nokia 6131 mobile, which was able to make payments much as an Oyster card (season pass for London Underground)  would do. It was also able to make retail payments using “Barclaycard Visa payWave” in certain stores - and all via the magic of contactless (NFC) technology.

NFC relies on inductance to create a current that is then passed through a chip in (typically) a plastic card, but in this case, a mobile device. The technology has long been around in Japan with Sonys Felica system, however, this trial of 500 people reasonably proves the demand over here.

  • 78% said they would be interested in using contactless services if available. Convenience, ease-of-use and the status of having such an innovative device were seen as the main benefits
  • Interest in having Oyster on their mobile phones was particularly strong with 89% of trialists saying they were interested in taking this up
  • Over two-thirds of trialists also said that they would be interested in having the Barclaycard Visa payWave feature on their mobile in the future

All sounds good to me - give all the upcoming Nokia devices some form of NFC, and you never know, this idea might just develop the critical mass it needs to go mainstream!

No worries, the land of media censorship and propaganda has turned out yet another low-end handset designed to evoke images of the Beijing National Aquatics Center, otherwise known a the Water Cube.

The handset bears an exterior design reminiscent of the Water Cube’s glowing bubble-wrap-like architecture. It sports Bluetooth and a tri-band GSM radio that lacks the 850Mhz band that us Yankees love so much. The Water Cube Phone also uses some sort of “3D interface” that is sure to not live up to its name.

Water Cube Phone

But, if Water Cube-themed handsets with lackluster feature-sets and questionable build-quality are your cup of tea, then you’ll be happy to hear that the Water Cube Phone is available in your choice of six different colors for $175. We’ll save our coin for something with some actual substance, thanks.
