LG have just released their newest Digital Media Broadcasting phone, the LB1700, a phone that integrates perfectly in its class, being very small (98x48x19.8mm) and having a weight of 106 grams.

Besides the DMB, the device has many other interesting features such as: 1.3 megapixel camera with self-timer and multi-shot modes, an expandable microSD card slot, a text document viewer, an mp3 player and an IPN function (In-Plane switching).

The most important feature for this DMB enabled phone is the possibility of sending and receiving SMS's while you watch the media broadcasting, not very unusual in other DMB phones, but still a very useful one.

Like many other DMB phones, this one will also be available only on the Korean market.
