sorry if this has been posted before (i went through the older posts and wasn't able to find anything) but i was wondering what this new "lollipop cellphone" was/if it works in canada/where i can get it. i found it on the big bang fansite, the guys were posing with it in a photoshoot.



any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

It just came out in Korea right?
Its most likely not unlocked yet, then.
Whats the formal name for it? (cant seem to get anything from google)

yeah i have no idea what it's formal name is (google didn't work for me either). i'm assuming it's release has been fairly recent.

i found information on it :)

"LG, Korea announced the release of another clamshell device aimed at users in the country, namely the LG SV800 / KH8000 / LH8000. Also known as LG Lollipop, the handset is obviously targeted at young mobile users, and it comes in three color versions: Cutie Pink, Aqua Blue and “Boyish Titanium”. This fashionable clamshell phone features 220 LEDs on the outside that can display pixel animations. Additionally the Lollipop phone can light-up in 35 color shades that can be associated with specific callers. Another highlight of the new LG phone is the self portrait camera with software that helps to make a good photo of you.

Here are the handset’s main specs:
• CDMA and HSDPA connectivity
• 2.8 inch TFT internal display with 240 x 400 pixels
• Media player
• 3MP camera
• 1.3MP secondary camera (for video calls)
• MicroSD card support
• 106.5 x 51.5 x 13.4 mm
• 92g

The LG Lollipop is expected to become available in South Korea starting this month, and it should be added to the offerings of all major carriers, including SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom. There are no details on a possible availability of the new handset on other markets at the moment."

so yeah, it just came out in korea .. i don't think it's gonna be available overseas for a while.
i personally think the ice cream looks better ;P the outside looks weird >__O
the inside looks NICE though. it would be perfect if the inside of the ice cream had a long screen like that!

anyway, some pictures~

[danceplaylove]

I don't get it. They don't look like lollipops. Nor do the icecream ones look like icecream....

[naivegal]

I have another one pic here!
If i'm not wrong it's the same lollipop phone ^^

Bigbang also has an ad with 'Big bang girls' who will debut soon

ps. just only the first half of the pic

[s0y0un*]

so cutee! i have an ice cream now but i want this when the unlocked comes out around $200 which will probably be in forever
the external led is SO cute o_O and you can change it to 35colors! ><

[Rainyraven]

I have to admit that they're going a bit to far with this whole "food" themed stuff..

And the most pathetic thing is that I want the phone *head desk* Seriously why do they keep throwing great design at me that aren't unlocked yet! What to do now? icecream 1? Wait for icecream 2 (hoping for a better quality phone) Or wait on this cutesy thing? Why is lg only bringing these out in Asia? They're cruel!

Just to torment us some more:











Those models are annoying! Why don't they just use bing bang all the time?

[anthonymarie]

lmao.
this ad is useless, sure doesnt make me want to have it.

[A m a r a n t h]

I agree that I wish the inside of the ice cream looked like this instead lol.

The buttons look nicer and the bigger screen is a definite step up from
the small ice cream screen.

[AiMango]

on the contrary i think that the buttons look uglier than icecream. reminds me of american phones, ewww.
the LED thingy is bigger though.

[ac.]

I want to have this one. but i don't have money and I'll have to wait for this to be released in the Philippines LOL.
How much do you think will this lollipop phone cost?

[xmelody-love]

this may not be helpful but i thought it was called an ice cream cell phone not a lollipop cellphone.

Ice cream is made by LG. Lollipop is made by Cyon. They look similar, but there not

[A m a r a n t h]

^ LG is the mother* (I guess in light of a better word) company of Cyon.
Cyon is just like a branch, the name of the LG korean branch.

Cyon makes lollipop and the ice cream. It's just that there's the Cyon's
in korea and the GSM versions with the LG logos on them.

aahh(:
I get it now, thank you!

[Rainyraven]

The LED lights are way bigger but for some reason I don't think it's as cute. It doesn't have the whole chunky cutesy thing going on

This is what I found on a site:

The Ice Cream phone is currently available only in South Korea, for a suggested retail price between 400,000 and 500,000 KRW, meaning about $400 - $500. No details about a future availability for other markets, but I guess Europe and America will also want to get some mobile ice cream.


We'll have to see if the unlocked version comes out fast.. I think we'll have to wait for quite a few months.. And then the prices won't be low..

I like it less than the Ice Cream 1 and more than the Ice Cream 2. But...lollipop? Kind of silly.

-ginger

[Bby-GIE]

i agree, why do most of the nice looking phones only come out in asia.

i like this phone.
i want one. i wonder what the buttons on the phone are like.

[colloquy]

The lollipop cellphone? Sounds... dirty.
