LG KC1 cellphone adopts WiBro
Lookee here – we have yet another WiBro-compatible handset that was recently released at SEK 2007 in Korea, and this time it is the LG KC1 PDA cellphone that benefits. This candybar handset looks pretty unremarkable, coming in the standard jet black color. The LG KC1 will be powered by the Monahans 806MHz processor, where most of the PDA functions are accessed via its generous 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen LCD display. Makes me wonder why it is still running on Windows Mobile 5.0 though when everyone else and their monkey have already moved on to greener pastures in the form of Windows Mobile 6.0.
Samsung SCH-B710 boasts 3D LCD display
Samsung has recently unveiled the SCH-B710 cellphone at SEK 2007 in Korea, and this isn’t any ordinary handset. What makes it stand apart from the rest would be its 3D LCD display, giving you 3D effect without the need to wear dorky glasses. It will remain a novelty at best since there aren’t any practical applications other than giving you the best looking screensaver-on-a-phone among your mates. Even 3D images can be captured, thanks to a couple of 1.3 megapixel stereoscopic cameras. You also get DMB capability, where the screen swivels out 90 degrees to give you a landscape orientation when catching up on the latest TV soaps. There is no word on pricing as at press time.
Nokia E61i and E65 arrives in U.S.
 Nokia has finally made available both its E61i and E65 handsets in the US, addressing demand from business and individual market segments. Both handsets will be powered by Symbian OS 9.1 and come with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, support for push email, an Internet browser, Push-to-Talk, a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capability, and an integrated MP3 player. The E61i features a full QWERTY keyboard and a generous 320 x 240 display, while the E65 ships with the standard numeric keypad and a 240 x 320 display instead. Expect to fork out around $400 for either phone as there is currently no US carrier available for both.
Samsung SPH-M8100 does WiBro
WiBro service has already taken off in a big way in Korea, and KT has launched the Samsung SPH-M8100 at the recently concluded SEK 2007. This CDMA handset supports WiBro and EV-DO connectivity for super fast Internet access and data downloads, while DMB capability doesn’t allow you the chance to miss your favorite TV show even when you’re out of your home. This slider cellphone comes with a 2.8″ LCD display and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0. There is no word on pricing, nor whether it will make its way Stateside. I’d say probably not, just like the dozens of other delectable offerings from Samsung *sniff*
