Third Generation
First there were big, clunky analogue mobile phones, then came 2G digital handsets, eventually followed by the first 3G video phones, big on features but also big on size.
LG has announced its forth 3G mobile phone for the UK.
3G LG is a Winner
The first thing that hits you about the 3G LG 8138 is size. Compared to all previous 3G video mobile phones, it's tiny. Compared to current state-of-the-art 2G and 2.5G GSM phones it's the same size. Think about that for a moment.
This is a top of the range 3G Video Calling mobile phone with built-in 180° swivel camera and yet it's all but the same size as the Motorola V600. The 3G LG 8138 is a winner.
Video Calling
Video Calling from 3 is live, two-way video communication between 3 customers, using your 3G LG 8138 mobile phone.
Video Calling makes communication both practical and fun because you can now see people and show objects, surroundings and activities in real time as you talk.
Quick Map
Some of the most useful features of the 3G LG 8138 mobile phone are the Locate services from 3, A to B, Quick Map and Find.
On request, your 3 mobile phone can work out where you are in Britain and then display your location on a clear, easy to read map using the LG 8138 high resolution screen.
Even better, type in a destination address such as a postcode and A to B will give you a straightforward map and direction on how to walk there! In the future this will be expanded to include car journeys by road as well.
