New LG KF300 Mid Range Handset

A couple of weeks ago, LG launched two handsets into the Indian market – the KM710 slider and KS360 with its slide out QWERTY keypad. Adding to that list is another handset that’s directed at the youth segment - the KF300 clamshell. It seems like LG is going all out to cater to the mid range value mobile segment in all possible form factors, let’s not forget the touchscreen Cookie.

Anil Arora, Business Group Marketing Head, Mobile Communication, LG Electronics Pvt Ltd said, “At LG, we understand that today’s mobile phones have transcended from their functional use and become a style statement. We work towards to meet the growing demand of the new world with our innovative and latest world class products at affordable prices. With the launch of these phones, we are offering perfect options for youth. These phones are packed with dynamic features to meet the needs of today’s generation. We are confident that our new offering will be well accepted and live up to the expectations of the consumers.”

The LG KF300 is presented in a laser cut design with an external 1.1-inch TFT LCD (128 x 160 pixels) and an internal 2.2-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) display. The features also include -

• 2 mega-pixel camera
• FM radio
• Bluetooth
• EDGE/GPRS
• Variable font size
• Mobile tracker
• Internal memory of up to 14MB with microSD card support

The KF300 also packs in 4 hot keys for setting an alarm, schedule or to access the photo album. They can of course, be set to other functions as well. LG claims that the handset can deliver Talk time of up to 5 hours, which we’ll have to wait and see.

The KF300 is available at all retail outlets and is priced at Rs. 8, 500 (MRP) in India.

Sony Ericsson S001 Cyber-shot phone

Sony Ericssion has just released the S001 in Japan, a new Cyber-shot slider that looks to be a dream come true for any SE fan and even for any user who’s into camera phones.

Coming in a slider form factor, Sony Ericsson S001 has a big 3.3 inch OLED display with 480 x 854 pixels, and an 8.1 MP camera with autofocus, flash, smile shutter and protective lens cover. Well, what can I say, a high-res display + a high-end camera = perfect.
The new phone also features mobile TV capabilities, GSM and WCDMA connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth and so on.

Sony Ericsson S001 is exclusively sold by KDDI Au in Japan, in three color versions: black, pink and green with gold.

Now the question for Sony Ericsson is: why can’t you launch a handset like the S001 in Europe and the US too? It would almost certainly be a huge success.

Stylishly simple Samsung S3500

Photos of a new mid-range Samsung S3500 leaked online. The stylish slider has a relatively modest specs sheet and will most probably rely on design and attractive pricing to lure some potential customers.

Samsung S3500 has a styling quite similar to the highly successful U900 Soul. Functionality-wise however it stands a couple of levels lower than the company's upper midrange flagship.

The S3500 sports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity as well as Bluetooth and USB. The handset will sport a 262K color QVGA display of yet unknown size. It also has 35 MB of internal memory, expandable through the microSD card slot.

There is yet no information about the availably or the pricing of the handset but with MWC 2009 due in a couple of weeks we might just get to see it in person.

Here are the main features and specs of the new phone:

• Quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz)
• QVGA display with 262K colors
• Music player
• FM radio
• 2MP camera
• Bluetooth and USB
• WAP browser, email
• 35MB of internal memory
• MicroSD card support
• 99.9 x 48.0 x 13.9 mm
