LG KU250 the 3G genie
LG’s new KU250 is an excellent example for all cellphone manufacturers to follow when it comes to 3G handsets. This candybar phone features a 1.76″ LCD display, 3G video telephony, a 1.3 megapixel camera and VGA camera for video calls, Internet connectivity, and support for a vast array of audio formats including MP3 and WMA. The KU250 is widely tipped to come with a low price tag, aiming to make 3G affordable across all levels of society. The handset will be available at wholesales pricing (about 30% less than normal) and contains a chipset supplied by Qualcomm.
“The 3G for All campaign has had a great response from both handset and chipset vendors demonstrating their commitment to work with operators to drive usage of 3G services,” said Craig Ehrlich, chairman of the GSMA,”A highly-capable device that is as attractive and cost-effective as the leading 2G multimedia handsets, the LG-KU250 has clear mass-market appeal and will help fuel interest in third-generation services across the world.”
“Qualcomm believes that one of our responsibilities is helping to make advanced wireless voice and Internet connectivity available to more people worldwide,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm. “We are proud to have been a part of this program with the GSMA and applaud their initiative in bringing the industry together toward this common goal of speeding the growth of 3G and multimedia services worldwide, though enhanced competition and consumer choice.”
