LG Mobile (LG) announces this year’s hottest music handset, the LG U400, exclusively on the 3 network. Available in the UK in black, this music rich, slim-line, 3G slider also has an external scroll wheel which allows easy navigation through a multitude of cutting–edge features.
Downloading tunes couldn’t be easier with the integrated 3 music player which allows searches by artist, title or genre as well as the creation of playlists at the touch of a button. The U400 allows the user to multitask – tunes can be accessed and played through 3 music player at the same time as surfing the web at full 3G speeds.
Once tracks are downloaded over-the-air, music lovers can stream their favourite tunes through to wireless stereo headphones or simply play out over the stereo speaker which automatically pauses music for incoming calls. An array of TV clips and music videos are also available for instant download, played through the video player and brought to life on the crystal clear colour display.
Equipped with a unique scroll wheel, the features of the U400 can be navigated using the external wheel as a click-scroll or as a five-way joypad. The scroll wheel and handy shortcut music keys mean that tunes can be played instantly without even opening the phone.
In conjunction with the launch of the U400, LG Mobile have partnered with scratch DJ experts DMC to offer exclusive preloaded content to LG U400 enthusiasts.
