LG Electronics India, one of the top mobile phone manufacturers in the world, launched the new LG series of mobile handsets, the "Dynamite Series". The two devices that will take this pretty awkward name for a cell phone are going to be the KG300 and its cheaper (and less good looking) sibling, the KG200. There is a catch though if you do buy one of these two phones. Don't forget that in case you are in an airport, you shouldn't say something like this near the guys that check the boarding passengers for dangerous stuff: "Hey! Dude! What do you think about my Dynamite?!".

The candy-bar LG KG300, pictured in the left side of the photo, is going to have a price of 9.999 Rs (the national Indian currency), and it will offer enough goodies to justify the price. First of all, you'll have a 2 megapixel digital camera to play with and a 262k colors display to see the pictures and the videos you made with the camera. Furthermore, you will have access to features like video caller, call conversation recording, intelligent call, in-flight mode if you want to use the phone without being interrupted by incoming calls, MP3 player with graphic equalizers, 56 MB of built-in memory, plug and play, external memory expansion card slot, USB charging and FM recording so you can save your favorite radio program for later audition. The package will also include a stereophonic headset kit and an USB Data Cable and so you will have the complete set to enjoy the multimedia experience offered by this handset right after getting your hand on it.

The cheaper piece of Dynamite, the sleek and stylish designed KG200, also comes with enough features to justify its 7.999 Rs price. You will have a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera with recording capability, a 65k colors display, 56 MB of pre-installed memory, an external memory expansion card slot, MP3 player, FM radio that also records your favorite programs, video caller ID, call recording, in-flight mode, and same as its bigger brother, it will also come with a stereophonic headset kit and an USB Data Cable.

H.S. Bhatia, LG India's National Product Group Head, has declared that "the Dynamite series encapsulates the world's best technology, wrapped in a stunning style. The phone has unique features like Video Caller ID, Call Conversation Recording, Intelligent Call and FM Recording, which is exclusive to LG. With the sweet success of 'Chocolate' LG is now geared with an aggressive strategy for the GSM Market. India Markets are craving for stylish and feature packed phones. The Dynamite KG300 is extremely fascinating in terms of style, fully loaded with unique features and is available at unbeatable price."

Both Dynamite mobile handsets are going to be launched in India and later on, they might get a release in some other parts of the globe. The faster they will get in our pockets, the better, and now, only one last thing to say: good job LG!
