LG's musicphone M4300

mobilelife — 2005-03-11T10:52:10Z

Nowadays every mobilephone manufacturer has a musicphone in his productline. SonyEricsson has got the "Walkman W800", Motorola is going to release at least one iTunes enabled device and even HTC/Dopod’s got a musicphone. So maybe it’s no surprise that our LG has been showing off a musicphone of their own this week, the M4300.
This one’s a tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset with Bluetooth, a VGA quality digital camera (with flash!), a miniSD card slot, MP3/AAC playback software, and dedicated player control buttons on front. Most likely won’t be making an appearance over here anytime soon, but we do love the EQ on the external display.

Samsung SCH-V770 7 megapixel phone

mindscud — 2005-03-11T01:01:17Z

A 7 megapixel phone seems to be peanuts if you read this specs:

SCH-V770

megapixel CCD sensor3x optical zoom
5x digital zoom
16M color LCD
TV output T
4.7x optical with telephoto lens and wide conversion lens.
aperture priority mode and manual mode AE lock

Yes, you still will be able to use it as a phone even if it might seem pretty secondary. Can't wait to get my fingers on this beauty :)
