LG announces 9400 with MediaFLO, sort of

by Chris Ziegler posted Jan 7th 2007 at 12:53PM

Wait wait wait, LG, let's be sure we have this straight: you've gone ahead and distributed pictures of the rumored 9400 with your CES press kit, but you make positively no mention of it in your press release. Didn't something just like this happen at CTIA with the VX8600? Either you've truly mastered the fine art of brilliant viral marketing, or you've accidentally announced yet another critical phone in Verizon's lineup early. Our money's on the latter. Anyhoo, here's the 9400 finally in all its blur-free glory, finally ushering in the age of mobile TV stateside. Though it's not branded as a Verizon release, we know from our candid shots that it's due up as a launch device for the imminent unveiling of Big Red's MediaFLO network -- possibly as soon as this afternoon at Verizon's press event. As always, we'll keep ya posted; in the mean time, check after the break for some more eye candy.

judging by that big red menu button I would say it is Verizon branded, just lacking the peel and press V sticker at the bottom.

I would judge by the fact that engadget has been talking about the 9400 for a while, the tag which says "Verizon Wireless" or the "accidentally announced yet another critical phone in Verizon's lineup early" Would be the dead give away that it's bound for the big V..

What is with LG and there 1.3 MP cell phone cams. On the other side of the pond they have 2 and 3 MP and even the A990 has a 3 MP. I think this looks like a nice phone but come on I want more power. Grunt Grunt Grunt.
