LG's latest phone boasts better music abilities

U890_3_3 LG has updated it's U880 clamshell 3G phone, and says it has improved the handset's music capabilities, keypad and screen. 

Although the U890's camera resolution is unchanged, it now takes sharper pictures as well, LG said. Like most phone cameras, its quality is good enough for quick snaps that you'd email to friends.

The U890 can c reate playlists to make it easier to find your fave tunes when out and about - and  you don't need to open the clamshell to get to them.

You can listen to music on Bluetooth headphones, if you have a pair, which gives the added advantage of no more wires. But watch out for the Bluetooth headsets though - some of them will leave you looking pretty dorky.

Being 3G, it means you can have video chats over the the 3 network, plus the phone is pretty light and although available only in silver, you can change the trim colour. And yes, pink is an option.

It's a minor update to the U880, so it's probably not worth signing up for a new contract to the latest handset if you have that phone. And at the moment it's available on pre pay.

Comments

Over the years I have purchased various iPods and have accumulated a few USB and firewire power supplies. My "old" first gen iPod Touch could be charged with any of those old USB or firewire power supplies.

However, the second gen iPod Touch cannot be charged with the firewire power supply. You need the USB one. Also, from what I read elsewhere, some older off-brand docking units will not charge the second gen iPod Touch, presumably because they are based on the firewire spec. Playback through these docks still works, though.

The good news is that all of the improvements and overall performance of the second gen iPod Touch far outweigh the minor setback of not being able to charge via firewire. The USB adapter that comes with it works just fine.

Hi Zusammen, Wie gehts wie stehts? Ich suchte nach einer interessanten Geschenkidee fuer Jung und Alt! Zugeschlagen habe ich letzt endlich auf einer uebersichtlichen Preisvergleich-Website. Geboten werden dort fern gesteuerte Speed-Boote, Untersee-Boote und Jachten. Die ferngesteuerten Boote sind Geschenkideen, die ihr euch unbeding angucken solltet! Guckt also mal direkt auf: ferngesteuerte Boote
