LG announced today a new dark silver color option for its popular camera phone, LG Viewty. It has now sold over 550,000 units.

LG choose this new color to further the LG Viewty’s polished, premium image, after researching colour preferences in countries where the phone is sold and colour trend forecasts for 2008. Another improvement to the LG Viewty is a redesigned jog wheel that makes scrolling through menus even easier.

The LG Viewty, which includes a 5M camera and a 3inch touchscreen has now topped 550,000 units in sales. This comes only two and half months after the phone’s November 2007 release in Europe.

LG Electronics launched its latest music phone, the LB3300 Rhapsody model, created in collaboration with Mark Levinson, founder of the high-end audio manufacturing company now owned by Harman International.

LG and Mark Levinson worked together to develop this new handset, presented by the South Korean manufacturer as a real music phone, hence being in the same league as Samsung U470 Juke or BenQ E61. Rhapsody LB3300 comes in a slider form and provides 8 preset equalizer positions optimized by Mark Levinson to play any music genre, for any listener: from pop to jazz or from classical to rock.

LG has announced a new mobile handset named LG-LB2005H. the new handset is comprised on an entirely wood-like body and features metal accents to make the design even more stylish. LG explained that it was going for a “more natural look” with this handset, and promised the same feature set you expect from comparable products.

LG’s decision to call the handset the Wood Shine is a bit of a misnomer. According to the company, the device is not actually made of wood, but is comprised of a wood-like high-end design pattern that looks just like wood.

Echoing that sentiment, the LG-LB2005H supports DMB TV, and includes a 2-megapixel camera, an MP3 player, Bluetooth, and an electronic dictionary. LG has yet to announce any further details on the phone.
