This may be just a typo, but according to the official source the LG's KC910 Renoir actually supports all the GSM bands (850/900/1800/1900), which means worldwide roaming. Until now we thought that the 8Mpix handset would be available everywhere except the U.S., now we're not that sure. And just think of this baby having US 3G support if it ever makes it stateside.

Today LG has officially announced its KF900 Prada II fashion phone. The only dissapointment here is the lack of GPS support, but in rest the specifications are fime:

• WCDMA 900/2100, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity;
• 3" WQVGA 400×240 pixel TFT touch screen display;
• 5Mpix camera;
• Front camera for video calls;
• Wi-Fi b/g connectivity;
• USB 2.
