World's First, Full-packaged Google Experience
Stylish with high speed Internet browsing and advanced PIM functionality

SINGAPORE, September 20, 2007 --- Raising the bar in the smart phone sector today, LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology leader in mobile communications, announced in Singapore the availability of LG KS10 – a luxurious slider smart phone equipped with high-speed, full Internet browser enabled by the new HSDPA technology.

With the LG KS10, users can experience high speed internet browsing and high quality TV streaming on a large 2.4 inch black window LCD, as well as advanced PIMS such as a file viewer and push email services. The multi-functional slider maximizes convenience for users with features like Internet hot-key, predicts web addresses on input and records previously browsed pages for easy sorting. With a full browser, accessing web mails, doing quick searches, watching the sports news, finding maps and driving directions as well as shopping and booking flights are made more convenient. Boasting a stunning 3 hours talk time and over 220 hours of standby, the phone is indeed a leader in its class.

Equipped with dynamic S60 software on Symbian OS 9.2 platform, LG KS10 is a powerful phone with high-speed mobile browser, video player and convenient messaging applications. S60 software allows users to add extended functionality and versatility by downloading customized applications online for free.

Another key element of LG KS10 is the availability of Google that is designed specifically for smart phones, allowing simplified access to various services the website offers, such as GMail, Google Search, Google Map, and YouTube.

"The availability of Internet on mobile phones has been around for a while but it has been very difficult to go through complicated log-on process or the connection was extremely slow. The LG KS10 takes full advantage of the available technology and empowers users with easy access to Internet at broadband speed," said Mr. Howard Lee, Managing Director of LG electronics Singapore.

"With LG's innovative technology and award winning design credential, this may be the perfect smart phone for stylish consumers who are looking for up to date applications to meet their daily needs anytime, anywhere."
