LG KU580 and the “Google Phones”

Apple is doing it. So is LG. And the tech industry has been abuzz with Google partnerships. Take for instance the LG “Google” phone that upon further inspection, doesn’t really offer much apart from Google-bundled applications. The only reason I would see why I would want this particular model would be because it looks like a slightly better Chocolate.

If phone manufacturers did it right, a Google partnership would offer incentives to making searches on your phone. This in paper does make sense to advertisers, as your phone’s real estate is confined to a 240 x 320 screen that allows for more conversions for text links.

LG KU250 “3G for All”

LG has released one of, if not the cheapest “3G for All” phone. This is supposedly the mass market booster for 3G phones in the worldwide market. The phone retails for about $100.00.

The phone comes with two cameras, a 1.3MP camera behind and a 640 x 480 camera in front for video calls. The phone’s real estate is one of its main attractions, apart from the 3G features. It is tight, robust and boasts huge buttons.

Other features include the following:

* MP3 and video recording
* Full Internet Browsing via WCDMA (384kbps)
* MMS / Email
* WAP 2.0 / JAVA 2.0
* microSD expansion
* Bluetooth and USB connectivity

For what it is, the KU250 is a handy phone for a cheap 3G solution. It offers nothing really spectacular with regards to its feature set, but the $100 price cannot be ignored. It is a bit of a turn off though that the device includes memory expansion — but has no bundled card in its default package.

I would like to say that this phone may make for a cheaper 3G modem alternative which you can pair easily with your computer for wireless surfing.

Don't look now, but that Nokia in your pocket means you're over the hill

A survey of cellphone users in Australia, conducted by Panorama and released by Nielsen Media Research, has proved what pretty much everyone already knew: people are likely to base broad, stereotypical assumptions about you on your cellphone, just like they do with everything else you use and wear. We're guessing this breaks down a bit differently in Aussieland, but here's how mobile users tend to associate down under:

Nokia: Family-minded, middle aged managers, balance seekers, health conscious
Motorola: Fashion conscious, under 24, fun seekers, individualistic
Sony Ericsson: Ambitious young men, professionals, success driven, individualistic
LG: Favorite of mums, stay-at-home parents, success driven, harmony seekers
Samsung: Young women, career focused, success driven, fun seekers

The upshot of this research is that since most phone service providers rate the same, people are for the most part picking a carrier based on phone selection -- again, we're not exactly floored by the analysis here. Now all that's left is how to pigeon hole HTC and Palm users. We're thinking "good looking, fun loving, Engadget reader" would be a nice start.
