LG keeps them coming and, after the VX9900 enV super star going to the American carrier Verizon, my eye was caught by the C280 handset, a mobile device that has been spotted somewhere in Taiwan together with some other phones coming from the same mobile phone manufacturer.

There is one catch about this one though: it is one of the few CDMA cell phones that are boasting a 3 megapixel digital camera. The reason why LG has decided to bring a higher quality CDMA remains unknown to me, but this will surely be another reason for one to buy it and enjoy the higher quality snapshots this device will take.

The C280 has a quite reasonable size, measuring only 87.5x44x23 mm and will offer its future users a dedicated music player to enjoy all their favorite songs while on-the-go, a bundle charger and high quality headphones, features that give us a hint of a possible multimedia niche of the mobile market, that this handset is going to be targeted to.

Info about the release date or the store price of the C280 is not available yet and, until that happens, one can only hope that the rest of its spec sheet will match or even top the digital camera that LG has prepared for all the customers ready to buy this cell phone.
