LG's 5 megapixel KF750 with DivX rebranded Secret, shhh {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 24th 2008 8:26AM A couple of weeks ago I talked with LG about the upcoming Black Label 3 phone (this LG Secret). The LG marketing manager said that the LG Secret would be available (in the Netherlands) within weeks after its introduction (today). This is probably the same for the rest of Europe.
We already have three shops with pre-order prices on our site:

So it looks like the LG Secret will have a price level between 400 and 500 euros without any subsidies.
Dutch treat: Samsung surprises with three reveals {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 15th 2008 6:49AM I checked with Samsung Netherlands and the i900 will indeed have a GPS chip inside. The specs on the list are incomplete.
By the way, the i900 is placed in the infotainment segment, just like the L870. The U800 will be aimed at the business user.
All phones are on the Samsung roadmap.
