  • LG's CB630 "Invision" coming to AT&T Mobile TV in August

    Filed under: Handsets , Multimedia , LG , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS So, we figure one of two things has happened here: either the Samsung Access has been a solid seller for AT&T, leading the carrier to request a near-clone from competitor LG -- or LG saw the Access and felt compelled to provide a clone of its own volition. Either way, the CB630 Invision is getting to the AT&T Mobile TV fight a little late, because we're actually hearing that the Access is already scheduled for an official sunset (not Sunset ) on August 24, along with the Sony Ericsson Z750 , Samsung SLM , and the Mobile TV-less version of the LG Vu , the CU915. We're also hearing that it'll launch on August 13 for $99.99 on contract with a $50 rebate, so getcha popcorn ready, people. [Thanks, anonymous tipster] Permalink | Email this | Comments
  • Hands-on with the LG Vu, Samsung Access, and AT&T Mobile TV

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , Multimedia , LG , Samsung , ATT , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS These days, voice is the tip of the iceberg. Carriers are always -- and we do mean always -- looking for crafty ways to boost their average revenue per user, and with everyone and their brother offering an unlimited voice plan at this point, it's about data and value-add services more than it ever has been before. To that end, Verizon and AT&T have embraced MediaFLO as a way to keep their subscribers entertained on the road to the tune of a few extra bucks per month. AT&T's service, simply christened Mobile TV, has just launched with a pair of devices from Samsung and LG; naturally, we wanted to know whether the phones were worth the $199 and $299 AT&T's asking, respectively -- but perhaps more importantly, we had to figure out whether the service was worth sucking another $15 a month out of our already-strained wallets.
