LG new phone with hot model

Phone ads or annoucement normally associated with hot models, of course no exception for the LG. LG has been presenting us quite a number of cool phones in its lines-up recently. Now, here is new one, the LG KH1300 has just joined the line.

The new LG KH1300 is a slider. For its design, I’d say it looks a bit plain, although some others claim it nice! When slided open, it shows you the old and standard number key pad. It is HSDPA compatible (up to 3.6Mbps transfer rates). Which means transfering an MP3 file with 3MB size will take you about 7 seconds. It has an MP3 player, a video player, a 1.3Mpix camera, and many other features. Surely, it’s great for those who treat their phone as also their favorite music player, so you don’t have to carry an iPod separately. It will be available soon and should cost about $425.
