LG offers bargain Chocolate: the KG280

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 4th 2007 at 12:02PM

It'd surely be nice if we could all find ourselves with the disposable income necessary to snag the KE800, but even LG realizes that not everyone can afford that 80-percent cocoa. Thankfully, the firm looks to be readying a ~~cheaper~~ less expensive version of its Platinum offering, and it shall be dubbed the KG280. Reportedly, the styling will be dumbed down a bit, the external screen will be smaller, and it'll only boast about three hours of talk time, but you can still chat it up with the tri-band connectivity and sync with your devices via USB / Bluetooth. Nothing official with regard to price just yet, but coming in about half as pricey as its flagship sibling wouldn't be too tough to swallow.

There's a similar phone here in Brazil for a while now, it's the MG280, dubbed "Chocolight", available in two triband GSM/GPRS models: 850/1800/1900 (for Vivo) and 900/1800/1900 (for every other carrier).
