Is LG Renoir too feature rich and too expensive for you? LG has a solution for someone like you. LG KP500. It will be just like LG Renoir, without the 8Mpixel camera (3MP instead), GPS, WiFi, 3G, DivX, XviD, etc. Still a nice looking phone. Myabe we wouldn’t consider this a true iPhone Killer now that the bar has been raised very high but still it’s worth mentioning.

The latest rumor is that Apple may be working on a CDMA version of iPhone to go after the market currently not able to be addressed with the GSM/3G iPhone. However, don’t expect to see iPhone in Verizon or Sprint store anytime soon. AT&T had signed 5 year exclusivity in the US market so it’s highly unlikedly that even if Apple releases CDMA version of the iPhone, they will be sold in the US. However, South Korea and Japan could see the new iPhone on their stores.

Some Verizon version and some Vodafone version photos.

This 8 Megapixel camera iPhone Killer phone is finally official and should be available in mid October. What’s so special about this LG Renoir competitor? For one thing, it can support video recording up to 720 x 480.

While Apple is “standing still” with iPhone 3G, other companies are constantly coming up with newer and better iPhone Killers. The latest additiona is an 8M Pixel camera phone from Samsung called PIXON M8800.

It is originally targeted for the European market and the rumored launch date is mid November with price around 550 EUR.
