Yup, you read that right.
YES there is an LG Mobile Developer Network. Finally. Excellent.
Unfortunately it is stuck in the year 1997.
Yes indeed! If you’d like to get your application on to LG handsets, it’s as simple as:
1. Spend AGES writing a sodding proposal. (Ok so it’s only two pages…)
2. Formally submit [...]

After a restart, and another restart, we were good.

My LG Cookie is connected!
The key function I want is the ability to sync my contacts:

I click on the SYNC button.
I get the following problem:

Well, I started Outlook as I thought you’d need it opened.
Ok. Let me close that then.
Ok now we’re looking good:

I’m only going to [...]

I’m quite impressed with the LG Cookie handset. On first glance it reminds me of a cheaper, mass-market version of the LG Renoir. I suspect that’s exactly what it is.
I do like it. It’s the sort of thing I can see a 17 or 18 year old girl walking into Carphone Warehouse [...]

I have just taken delivery of one of LG’s newest models, the KP500 ‘Cookie’ handset. The last LG handset I actually used for any length of time was the LG Shine and LG Secret - a good 6-8 months ago. I’m on record as being deeply unimpressed at the ‘insides’ of the LG range (I [...]

Now I know I’ve said it a couple of times in the past few months, but I’m looking for a new phone. The reason I haven’t yet bought one isn’t because I can’t be bothered to purchase one, or because I can’t afford one; in fact I’m more than happy to now pay a little [...]

I got this note in from Paul Newton, a reasonably happy LG Renoir user.
Paul saw the footage we shot at the Renoir launch and, suitably impressed with the device, took the plunge.
But there’s a glaring, glaring issue with the device.
Have a read:
Hi Ewan,
I am looking for some advice. I recently upgraded my handset to [...]

At the press launch, we spent some time with the handset to get a good enough feel for it, see how it works, what features it [...]

LG and Prada also launched at the event the PRADA Link. It’s a fairly stylish leather strap based Bluetooth watch for use with the phone.
Once paired, the screen on the phone indicates the likes of an incoming call from the mobile, via sound or vibration. Where the call can be silenced or rejected from the [...]

Late today we’re at the launch of the new LG PRADA phone, set to be the next exclusive designer mobile from the joint partnership of those two industry players.
It’s their second handset from the venture, with the first arriving on the scene like a sex machine in mid 2007.
The new model almost mimics the first, [...]

Thanks to a tweet that piqued my interest the other day, I can tell you that LG Mobile is doing research and they’d like your opinion, particularly in the run up to the festive period that is fast approaching.
They’d like to know what is important to you.
And I think that’s a good thing because LG’s [...]

With a headline that will be lost on some, Samsung’s 8MP Pixon touch screen camera phone gets an exposure on O2.
This builds on from their first 8 megapixel i8510 phone launched in August, along with almost marrying the full touch screen abilities of their Omnia i900.
Recently LG made the claim of having the slimmest touch [...]

That’s apparently what we’re about to find out tonight at T-Mobile, according to a highly placed source who’s been texting me. We won’t have to wait too long to find out as the MIR Team is descending on the T-Mobile Winter Preview as I type.

Last night the MIR Show team was at the LG Renoir Blogger launch. It’s always an interesting exercise to get close to a mobile manufacturer and to see how they handle their blogger relations.
You can tell a lot about a company from how it manages bloggers. Journalists and mainstream media, that’s a piece [...]

The KC910 is heading this way very quickly. We’ll be there tomorrow night at the LG blogger launch. In fact we’re doing a lot of the filming for next week’s MIR show there.
If you remember at the last LG launch, I was a bit repetitive with the UK Marketing Director about their total [...]

No seriously! Despite how rubbish you can be (note, not all are that rubbish), you have this ability to make me laugh, even when it’s not funny!
You see, on Wednesday I took a trip down to my local high street, a busy one at that; in all I would hazard a guess that there are [...]

If the latest figures from industry watchers Strategy Analytics (via The Financial Times) are anything to go by, it’s all change in the US market when it comes to mobile handsets. There are two notable big winners: LG, which has leapfrogged Samsung to take the number two spot, and RIM, which has seen its share [...]

The phone is called the LG Decoy and it is a slider phone that has a built in Bluetooth headset. Pretty nifty.
The press release doesn’t say, but I’m assuming that there will be a holster designed specifically for it too.
Actually this is quite interesting and certainly seems to be an interesting development from Verizon. Will [...]

Have you caught the LG Secret ad on UK television lately? Here it is:

It features a chap with a physique so close to mine we could be identical twins. Ripped stomach etc.
The Secret is a brilliant handset for it’s target demographic. I’d like to see them introduce a lot more developer access [...]
