The FCC site has unveiled a new LG cell phone.

The new LG KE990d has just been approved by the commission and should become available pretty soon. Unfortunately, we know almost nothing about it: a GSM/EDGE handset featuring Bluetooth (class 2) connectivity. And that's it...

No word on pricing and availability either.

Verizon and LG came up with a new firmware update for the LG Voyager. The phone had many performance issues and glitches when it was released, but now most of them can be fixed. You can update your handset at your local Verizon store.

Here's the rundown of changes available in the upgrade:

• Fixed issue with V CAST Music and 4GB+ removable memory read error
• Adds ability to reset V CAST Mobile TV client
• Update power settings to improve battery life performance
• Bluetooth enhancements to audio, pairing, and key tone
• Mobile Web - HTML browser enhancements
• Fixed to display “=” symbol on the bottom in the calculator for LG Joy font
• Fixed to access to keypad through only one step while in a call
• Fixed the auto lock setting so that the touch screen will not lock on its own when auto lock is set to off
• Fixed to allow ESPN application on external touch screen
• Fixed to allow Mobile IM on external touch screen
• Fixed to have no difference between the displayed image (to let you know which scene was taken) and the actual saved image, when you take a picture aiming at any moving objects
• Fixed when device goes to maps.

LG KS20 will soon be available in the U.S. under a different name, the MS25.

Also known as "smart Prada phone" and LG Dominator, it is a dual-band GSM/EDGE handset (no word on 3G frequencies) with a large touch-screen, supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity.

The phone has just been approved by the FCC so we can expect it to appear stateside in early 2008.

The new LG KG375 is a new stylish budget mobile phone.

It has nothing special to offer besides its looks, so if you want a pretty but very low-tech cell phone, you can get this one from VodafoneNZ today.

LG plans to sell over 100 million handsets in 2008 thus catching up with Sony Ericsson who have already sold about 100 million phones this year.

Nevertheless, Nokia still remains number one on the market and holds one third of it.

LG stoke on releasing more low and mid-range devices, while at the same time expanding its share in the high-end market.

Verizon Wireless has officially launched the Pink version of the LG Venus to add more female appeal to the phone.

All specs remain the same, and the price didn't change either.

The handset still costs $200 (after $50 rebate and 2-year contract).

Verizon Wireless has added a new color for its LG VX8350 mobile phone.

It is now available in glossy dark red finish, and has the same features as the original black version including support for V CAST Video and V CAST Music services.

The price is $79.99 with a 2 year service agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate.

LG has released in Korea yet another cell phone, named "Rhapsody in Music", or simply LG LB3300.

As you've probably guessed, this is a music handset. It features a "Wheel Key" (like on the iPod), media player, 1GB of on-board memory + microSD slot, Bluetooth, DMB, 2Mpix camera, and more.

Forget what we told you a couple of days ago about a Korean, who supposedly died because his phone, manufactured by LG, exploded in his chest pocket.

This version was made-up by the guy's colleague, the actual murderer, who this way attempted to cover up his actions. The man told the police that he had accidentally hit the victim with a 15-ton hydraulic drill rig while driving in reverse and that was the real cause of death.

Here's a photo of the LG Chocolate 8550 in its new Light Blue color scheme.

This is the forth color available for this phone; other three include the Original Black, Black Cherry and Blue Mint.The phone is available from Verizon for $99.99.
