The Korean firm's cellphone division generated a profit of $187 million between January and March but sold 7 percent fewer phones than it did a year earlier, sinking to 22.6 million units. The reduction is an unusual drop for the company and is blame... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/21/lg.q1.2009.results/ Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/20/lg.viewty.smart/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/lgviewtysmart.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG on Monday officially took the wraps from the Viewty Smart. Unofficially known as the Viewty II, it has the same 480x800 capacitive touchscreen and iPhone-like S-Class 3D interface as other 2009 LG phones but centers on an 8-megapixel camera that can record video in widescreen 480p and can handle light sensitivity up to ISO 1,600. It carries an LED flash and supports modes often reserved for d... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/20/lg.viewty.smart/ Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/29/lg.kp500/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/lgkp500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG this evening planned to cement its hold on touchscreen phones with the KP500. Unlike LG's normally high-end full touch devices, the new handset is designed to be inexpensive enough for those who would opt for a conventional phone without sacrificing some of the core touch features: it has the same three-inch touch display as the Prada, Viewty, and similar phones but a simpler design that has m... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/29/lg.kp500/ Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/22/lg.kc910/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/lgkc910.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG this morning surprised the phone market with an early look at the KC910. Considered a spiritual successor to the KU990 Viewty, the new device has both LG's highest-resolution camera at eight megapixels but is still thin enough at 14mm (0.55in) to fit comfortably in a pocket. The new camera sensor is also said to lose nothing in image quality over the Viewty with full speed, 30FPS 640x480 vide... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/22/lg.kc910/ Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/31/nokia.cuts.phone.prices/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/nokian81-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia has been cutting the prices of its media phones in a bid to stay competitive with rivals, according to sources speaking to Reuters. The news organization points to industry and market research leads which say that Finland-based Nokia is dropping prices across much of its lineup but is making the most substantial cuts to music- and video-friendly phones, including the N81 8GB smartphone as w... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/31/nokia.cuts.phone.prices/ Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/29/sony.blames.loss.on.phones/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/sony-ericssonxperiax1-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony today reported that its profit had dropped approximately 47 percent in the spring quarter versus the same quarter a year ago, representing one of the company's steeper drops in recent history. The Japanese company chiefly attributes the company-controlled aspects of the shortfall to poor Sony Ericsson results, which saw the company's cellphone sales virtually flatten as customers turned away... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/29/sony.blames.loss.on.phones/ Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/21/lg.sells.7m.touch.phones/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/lgtouchscreenphones.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG on Monday revealed that it has sold about seven million touchscreen cellphones since the company first introduced a full touch device through the Prada Phone in early 2007. The company claims to have the "leadership" of the category and notes that two million of these are the KU990 Viewty cameraphone; the next most popular devices are the North America-focused Venus and Voyager at 1.6 million ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/21/lg.sells.7m.touch.phones/ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/24/lg.secret.phone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/lgsecret.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />As promised, LG this morning took the covers from its next phone in the Black Label series. The Secret (KF750) follows in the steps of the Chocolate and Shine, but focuses as much on its craftsmanship as it does on specifications. The slider design is partly made of carbon fiber that increases the strength of the phone body without affecting weight; tempered glass protects the LCD while also rep... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/24/lg.secret.phone/ Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/28/lg.viewty.t.mobile.at.fcc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/lgku990-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />T-Mobile USA may get its first LG touchscreen phone without some of the features seen on others, if a new FCC filing proves accurate. Spotted as the KE990, the device bears initial similarity to the Viewty in its original KU990 form but makes unusual tradeoffs that suggest a release for the specific American carrier: while it supports US calling frequencies, 3G access has been removed entirely in... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/28/lg.viewty.t.mobile.at.fcc/ Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/15/att.mobile.tv.delay.reason/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/lgcu920-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The delay in AT&T's mobile digital TV service has been confirmed, says a claimed source. While a company roadmap the tip suggests that both "legal issues" as well as technical troubles with the MediaFLO digital TV tuning processor have pushed the release back by as little as two or as many as eight weeks beyond existing delays, possibly resulting in a mid-April release. An initial release had be... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/15/att.mobile.tv.delay.reason/ Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:20:00 GMT
