Mysterious LG KE990 Gets FCC Approval with some few details

[cell4use]

Found this one quite interesting. I wonder what would be in this phone that whould be cool enough to spend $600 on it. Hopfully we will find out before it launches.

A new high-end LG phone has just been approved by FCC: LG KE990, a GSM / EDGE device with Bluetooth support. Unfortunately, this is all the info known about the handset and there is not even a picture of it available. This is because both LG and Samsung have recently kept very quiet about their future handsets for the US market and asked FCC not to publish photos or too many details about the approved phones, until official launches approach.

Rumon is this LG KE990 will look like this LG KU990 from Vodafone


Anyway, if we look at the phone's name, KE990 seems to be the successor of the KU990 model from LG, also known as LG Viewty, which I suppose you all know is a very good looking handset. So LG KE990's design most probably resembles the one that LG Viewty came with.

Aside from the design, the features of LG KE990 could also be similar to the ones that Viewty packs and hopefully they will be even greater. We should expect an excellent phone with a 3 inch touchscreen display and a 5 Megapixel camera. Viewty doesn't provide a full keypad, it only has three keys and the nice touchscreen display, so we may assume the new LG comes in the same format.

While the Viewty model's camera is a good one, packing Schneider-Kreuznach optics, Xenon flash, Auto focus and macro mode, it doesn't have optical zoom, but hopefully the KE990 will bring this feature, to make it a true professional photography device. What's not quite admirable about LG Viewty is that it came with a built-in memory of only 90 MB, so a bigger one would be great for the forthcoming handset.

There is no word about when LG KE990 will be available nor about its price, but if its features are indeed similar to LG Viewty's features, we assume its price will be somewhere around 600 USD. Time will tell.
