Now There Are 3: LG Launches "Secret" 3G UMA Phone

UMA Today was optimistic that Orange’s would kick off a firestorm of 3G UMA devices. It has proven to be the jump-off point for the market.

And now the 'Secret' is out. LG’s new UMA-enabled phone is the 3G/UMA-enabled KF757, also known as the ‘Secret.’ The KF757 is a new stylish 3G UMA phone. It supports Neon Touch Navigation and Touch Media Navigation that allows users to navigate the phone's media features, such as music, photos, FM radio and more. It has a 5 megapixel camera, video recording, carbon fiber battery cover and tempered glass over the display. The phone also supports the new high definition mobile TV service for Unik.

The LG Secret joins the first Sony Ericsson UMA device that's also 3G - the G705u.  This advanced multi-media powerhouse features A-GPS, a 2.4 inch TFT display with auto-rotation, Exchange ActiveSynch, a full HTML browswer, a shortcut key for Google maps, as well as YouTube direct viewing and upload.  The Sony Ericsson phone is also compatible with Orange’s HDTV service.
