The FCC today approved the LG F9100, a new GSM phone with a focus on IM (instant messaging) and text messaging. The phone features a unique QWERTY text keyboard that slides out from the side of the phone. Photos available on the FCC web site show the device with Cingular branding. Other key features of the F9100 include an internal antenna, world roaming, and a color display. The F9100 is expected to compete with the Motorola A630, although the F9100 lacks a camera and Bluetooth.

Moto A630

The Moto A630 looks much better, more compact, and has bluetooth and camera. It's $99 on Amazon.com for T-Mobile. Cingular version should be out soon.
I agree... It is free on

another GSM plastic phone

what kind of man could hold his head high carrying that phone around with him.
Looks like a phone for barbie
Honestly who really cares. A cell phone is a cell phone and it is meant to do what it is designed for...be a cell phone.

It's the new American Idol Phone

The series comesback in January so the phone will probably be out shortly after if not maybe a little before.

Probably priced around $99.99 Like other AI phones.
Could you elaborate? What do you mean AI phone? Featured on the show? Details please?
...
So it'll probably suck as much as the show. American Idol, LG and Cingular. LOL!

What happened to Bluetooth?

I'm not sure why they make phones that lack bluetooth capability these days. Not having a camera on the phone is no big deal though.
I think the reverse..but maybe it is because I am naive. I would much rather have a camera than bluetooth anyday.. And the reason they lack that it because they want to reach out to all people. not just you.. or anyone else who believes this. some peo...

What Will They Think of Next?

I have to say- that is one funky looking device.
I think it looks awesome, I wish it had a camera and bluetooth though, it would be perfect then.
...
It's actually a really nice phone. I was picked to test this phone out and it's really nice. A camera would be nice and bluetooth would be great but the phone is amazing. I hope that it gets released soon.
