Not available in the US, the LG V9000 sports a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and MB of on board memory. This would be great for Cingular. Instead of just text messaging your choice for the next American Idol, you could watch it live as well on the same device!

TV-enabled LG V9000 swivel phone makes appearance

Taking square aim at Samsung’s SGH-P900 TV phone, LG is offering up a sneak peek of its high-end V9000 swivel handset with wireless TV reception, a 1.3 Mega pixel camera and more.

Offering up some competition for Samsung’s recently unveiled SGH-P900 TV phone, LG this week previewed its upcoming V9000 handset at the 3GSM World Congress 2006 in Barcelona. A swivel model, it – as does the SGH-P900 – relies on the DMB-T standard which has risen to popularity in Europe for receiving wireless digital TV transmissions, and also includes several other multimedia features.

Adding to its swiveling 262K colour display, the V9000 includes a 1.3 Mega pixel camera as well as 30 MB of on-board memory and memory expansion courtesy of an hitherto unknown format; the ability to record up to one-hour long shows; and virtual 3D surround sound. In addition, the handset claims a battery life of up to three hours for TV viewing.

Expected to be available in several European markets including Germany and Italy in the first half of 2006, LG did not disclose further information concerning the expected pricing and specifications of the V9000.
