LG's "3G for all" KU250 on sale this month

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 14th 2007 at 8:02AM

What you're looking at here, LG's KU250, might be the first 3G phone some folks in developing nations ever see. Chosen to lead off the GSM Association's "3G for all" campaign to bring high-speed data outside its typical industrialized comfort zone, the 15mm candybar goes on sale this month in parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East on a variety of carriers. Pricing will likely vary from market to market, but the goal is to keep it cheap -- pretty impressive considering the phone's video calling capability, media player with support for AAC+ and WMA, microSD expansion, and 1.3 megapixel cam.

3G for all? Even those who can not pay the often-usurious rates for data?

AT&T is lagging terribly by launching EDGE models even today - pretty much all new phones on Sprint and VZW are 3G nowadays.
