The Verizon's new LG VS750 is probably one of the last handsets from this manufacturer to come with Windoes Mobile Classic (6.5.3) on board.

• Quadband GSM with UMTS/HSPA;
• Windows Mobile 6.

LG introduced three prototype handsets capable of receiving OTA digital television (DTV) signals. DTV is an alternative to Qualcomm's MediaFLO network and FLO TV services, but unlike the latter it's free and provided by television broadcasters.

These three handsets include a CDMA phone with twin LCD screens; a CDMA model with a 2.8" LCD display and up to four hours of DTV-viewing battery life; and a GSM handset with a 3" LCD screen also with up to 4 hours of DTV time.

It is now clear that the Korea-only LG LU2300 from SK Telecom is will be released thin month in the home market. No word on whether it will be available anywhere else. I guess we'll have to be content with the C710 Aloha.Features:
