NTT DoCoMo Japan will soon start offering the new LG L704i Chocolate.

The phone comes in three standard colors, black, white and red, and will feature HSDPA connectivity, 2.2" QVGA display, 2Mpix camera and a VGA camera for video conversations.

I doubt that the new Chocolate will be popular, since NTT DoCoMo usually offers more advanced handsets then this one.

AT&T, the only carrier to offer iPhone in the U.S., will also offer a serious competitor to the Apple's handset, the LG CU920.

The new device looks almost like the iPhone, and has the same specifications, including the touch-only interface.

The only changes are 3G HSDPA support and Firefox Web browser instead of Safari.

LG Rumor is the company's new messaging phone available from Sprint.

It is a middle classl candybar handset with both numeric keypad and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 176 x 220 screen, Bluetooth, 1.3Mpix camera, microSD slot.

The phone will be available in black or white colors for $80 with a two-year service agreement.

AT&T will soon start offering a custom version of the LG Shine.

There is almost no information about the upcoming model at the moment; we only know that it comes in a metal-like finish and is a little redesigned, featuring a circular D-pad for navigation instead of a 3-way scroll.

The phone will be expensive, so hopefully it will support 3G.

LG and Verizon have launched two new cell phones in the USA, the LG-VX10000 Voyager and the LG-VX8800 Venus.

Both handsets combine style and advanced features, such as 2.8" touch-screen, QWERTY keyboard, 2Mpix camera, Bluetooth, microSD port, GPS, and Mobile TV.

LG plans to launch soon its KH1600 slider phone.

There is almost no information on specs available, but we know exactly that it will be a 3G handset supporting WCDMA connectivity, and featuring a 3G cam and large-buttoned keypads.

The price will be around $328.

LG has partnered with Google and will include Google services and applications in its forthcoming handsets.

The manufacturer has already introduced several models featuring Google Maps, Gmail and Blogger, and one click access to Google search site. They will be available throughout Asia, Europe and North America in the second quarter of 2008.

We have some new details concerning the LG VX8800 cell phone.

The handset is equipped with a 2Mpix camera, instead of 1.3Mpix one mentioned earlier. Still, there is no AutoFocus and flash. The scroll wheel is replaced with an interactive Dynamic Color TFT Touchpad. Also, there are two new themes available, the standard "Verizon" and the new one you see on the photos.
