3G-less LG KE500 unveiled

The recently concluded 3GSM World Conference saw a bevy of beauties being launched, but unfortunately the LG KE500 isn't one of them. This handset does not come with 3G connectivity, relying on EDGE instead for your mobile data needs. Features of this handset include a 2" 256k color LCD display, a wide range of support for audio and video formats, a microSD memory card slot, and internal speakers that offer pretty good quality sound. In addition, you also get a 2 megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth 2.0, and a built-in FM radio. Pricing and availability details are unknown, although the KE500 most probably won't make it to the U.S. as it does not support GSM 850.

Feb-13-2007
The LG CU400 is a speedy and attractive cell phone with access to high-speed 3G content, such as Cingular Video, and cool mobile applications like XM Radio Mobile and MySpace Mobile.
