The days of considering Korea’s LG low end manufacturer’s seems to be at an end with the savvy company following up on the success of their Prada and Viewty with three new handsets aimed squarely at the fashion crowd.

The LG KF750 (pictured) reportedly features 5 megapixel camera and secondary VGA video calling camera and a microSD slot. The LG KF240 is aimed at emerging markets such as Latin America and Asia and may release its 2 megapixel goodness as early as next week.

Unveiled in Korea today the new LG SH150A with HSDPA 7.2Mbps and AMOLED display is a show stopper.

In news bound to have work-shirking executives shuddering LG mobile has announced two new handsets that will be the first 3G models that can automatically roam 220 countries, the LG-KM560 and LG-KP330.

The phones support both the conventional GSM bands and all three WCDMA bands meaning that users will be able to roam across regions and frequencies without the interruptions experienced by other handset’s limited connectivity, even trouncing quad band cell phones.

A panel of experts from Rogers Wireless, Telstra, Cable & Wireless International, Telefonica Movile, Telenor and Entel PCS chose these two LG models to spearhead the Horizon Phone initiative to bring multi-frequency mobile broadband handsets to the world.

These operators will launch the phones in the latter half of 2008 and will later introduce handsets in Latin America, Asia and Europe. Try telling your boss you’re off the radar now.
