South Korea's LG Electronics has unveiled a cellphone handset with camera for cdma2000 1x EV-DO service to be launched this month.
The new Cyon color phone (Model: LG-KH5000) comes with a 2.2-inch TFT-LCD screen to offer clear images and has a camcorder-like rotating LCD, that can turn through 270 degree, and not the conventional fixed handset LCD so that users can use the embedded camera to take pictures without any restrictions. This eliminates the inconveniences found in existing detachable exterior camera phone as you can take pictures from any direction looking through the LCD screen.
The handset also supports existing simple text messaging, but also MMS along with LMS that can send long sentences (up to 500 Korean characters) as one message. The new color handset also comes with 110,000 pixel high quality CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) camera, and these photos can also be sent via e-mail.
The handset also supports other advanced features like 3-step selection of image resolution (88x72, 176x144, 352x288 dot), image quality control (low, medium, high), and image conversion.'"
