LG intros 410 series sports car phone
So this isn't exactly the typical integration of
car and phone we're quite used to seeing — instead of the phone coming to the car, this time the car comes to the phone. LG is launching the 410 Series of mobile phones designed to look like sports cars. The series is a sequel to their
M4300 musicphone, and will sport (so sportily) a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording, 260K color TFT LCD, MP3 playback and mobile banking functions. For an even more sporty feel, you can set a car starting sound to play when opening or closing the flip folder on the phone. Plus, use a command from the "Fun" menu (we want "fun" menus on our phones, too!) to select images of luxury cars for wallpaper.
The 410 Series will rev up by June in Korea, then it's on to North America and Europe soon after.
