14 DAY TRIAL // LG has just released the SV300 Wine phone model and, with this, has brought good news for those that just couldn't wait for a new phone concept coming from this company. It follows the elegant look of the last models that LG has released, which means that it might also bring the same appreciation.
LG SV300 is a flip phone with a stylish design that will probably appeal mostly to women. It's not that it has rounded, smooth, feminine shapes, just that it looks like an accessory that would probably look best in some small hands. LG Wine is only 93 grams heavy and is 16.2 mm thick, 19.5 mm wide and 99 mm long. Come to think of it, the phone will never manage to stand out with these sizes, but all added together, it looks well proportioned and elegant, which probably counts most of all.
The flip phone has two displays. The internal one is a QVGA LCD 2.2 inch large screen and is also capable of displaying colors up to 260k. The phone's performances are not out of the ordinary and make this cellular nothing more than an accessory that could easily be replaced by cheaper phone models when it comes to capabilities.
LG SV300 comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera and also an integrated MP3 player. Still, the cellular has only 45 MB of internal memory. It may not seem that small, but considering the fact that it lacks a memory expansion slot it will be more than insufficient. An MP3 player, as performing as it may be, will prove useless without enough space for storing at least an average amount of songs. Not very impressive, but, on the other hand, such a phone is meant to attract attention not through technological aspects, but through good looks.
LG Wine comes in two colors of red and black, which are basic in terms of elegance. For now, it has been released only in Korea, at the estimated price of USD322.
