Telstra soon launching LG KF390 .

The new LG KF390, announced a month ago by LG, is soon going to hit the global market.The dual band HSDPA slider phone will first be launched in Australia by the Australian mobile carrier Telstra which has added the phone to their Blue Tick range of Next G cell phones, which means excellent coverage in regional areas without the need of using an external antenna.However, the antenna can still be used for further signal boost.



Thus, Telstra is recommending the KF390 as a competitive offering to both rural as well as urban consumers in Australia.

Other than the basic specifications, the most highlighting feature of KF390 lies in its dual-band HSDPA network support which will offer a pretty good downlink speed of upto 7.2 Mbps. The KF390 will also offer you access to a host of content including FOXTEL mobile, Yellow Pages, BigPond Music and WhereIs maps if you are a Telstra customer.
