LG intros KM380 music phone in China

by Chris Ziegler posted May 13th 2008 at 3:30PM

Thank you, LG, thank you for getting it. A music phone should have a 3.5mm headphone jack -- no exceptions -- and the new KM380 destined for the Chinese market has exactly that, not to mention a clever set of external controls on the outside of the flip dedicated to tune control. Failing to bring something like this onto the low end of your American or European offerings is pretty weak, but maybe this marks the beginning of a new chapter for you -- a "Golden Age" of music phones. Or maybe not. We can hope.

I don't know, I'm not a big fan of the whole flip thing. Looks tacky to me.
