CeBIT; LG's 3G clamshell gets an update

At CeBIT LG was also parading the latest versions of its hugely popular (in the UK at least) clamshell 3G phones. Likely to arrive in the UK first is the U8180, another new clamshell which features a multimedia player with MP3, AAC and MPEG4 and video telephony with a dual TFT display. It will be available via the 3 network shortly.

Also on the cards is the U8200, the first LG 3G handset to sport a 1.3 mega pixel camera phone. Other features include Video Telephony, Video/Audio streaming and Bluetooth.
