LG's SH150A slider: AMOLED, HSDPA, yes please

by Chris Ziegler posted Feb 21st 2008 at 7:13PM

Don't get too excited here, because unless you live in South Korea, odds are you'll never see an LG SH150A in person, let alone own one (though with its global roaming capability, we suppose we could be proven wrong). The domestic market slider looks ordinary enough -- especially considering the milquetoast 2 megapixel cam -- but it's got a couple aces up its sleeve: 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and more importantly, a 2.2 inch active matrix OLED display that should make the integrated DMB tuner an absolute joy to use. If the thought of such a supremely glorious screen in your pocket is too much to bear, hop a flight to Seoul and pick it up for about 400,000 won ($432).

you do realize how BIG the United States is compared to Korea or other countries with superior networks. It takes way more time and money to cover the US with 3G.

Jerad: strawman!

US carriers has proportionally the same amount of people on the ground to get at least a few high-density cities wired up. Unless, you're suggesting that the US is a third-world country and can't even hire the people, nor buy the equipment to do one city.
