FCC approves LG KG112

LG’s latest KG112 handset has just received approval from the FCC. This candybar phone is a welcome departure from the slew of clamshell designs that we have seen over the past few months. Features of this quad-band GSM cellphone include an alarm clock, a task list, a notebook, calculator, currency converter, world time, and some simple games to keep you occupied while waiting for the bus. Judging from the feature set, the KG112 will most likely fall under the budget category, making it suitable for students and adults who need the most basic of cellphone services. Pricing and availability details are unknown at press time.
