I envy the Koreans, they get first hands on the freshest tech all the time, not to mention the cute promotion girls that come with it. Take this new LG SH150 HSDPA phone, which comes with a whopping 7.2Mbps download speed, fast enough to download a 40MB video file in less than a minute. Other features include DMB, e-dictionary, audio/video player, and Bluetooth.
Pantech has recently announced that the Cocoon will be available soon through the English operator O2. FYI, the Cocoon is an HSDPA Phone with an original external screen. It’s a pretty hot looking phone, but it won’t be available in the States. Hit the jump to read the list of specifications.
The KH1400 is a new T-DMB HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) phone from LG that comes equipped with 2.2-inch LCD, Bluetooth connectivity and supports video call, music player and optical sensor called ‘Digital Eye’. By adopting ‘Time Machine’ feature, the handset allows users to watch their missed DMB during phone calls. The KH1400 also offers PC-out function so users can enjoy the DMB via their notebook PC, a pretty cool feature. What’s more, the phone offers 3.6Mbps transmission speed enabling users to download 3MB MP3 track in just 7 seconds or 40MB music video in 90 seconds. Other features include 2M shooter, external memory, electronic dictionary, subway map and portable disk. The LG KH1400 T-DMB HSDPA phone retails for approx. $550 (after conversion). Since DMB (Digital Media Broadcasting) doesn’t exist everywhere, this phone is currently only available in Korea, but it would be great to have here (as opposed to other overhyped phones).
