AT&T and LG just launched the LG Invision, a brand new cell phone which they claim is made for video on the go. We mentioned this awhile ago as a rumor, but now it's finally official. The Invision joins the LG Vu and the Samsung Access as the only devices capable of supporting AT&T's live mobile TV service, which currently broadcasts programs from providers such as CBS Mobile, ESPN Mobile TV, NBC2GO, and more.

Here are the specifications: The Invision measures 4 inches tall by 2 inches wide by less than one-half inch thick, which makes it the smallest Mobile TV device of the lot. It features Video Share calling, a 1.3-megapixel camera, HSDPA speeds, AT&T Mobile Music support, a music player, stereo Bluetooth, and more. The Invision will be available for $99.99 with a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year service agreement.

seems like there would be a significant learning curve associated with those controls. Look at the keypad and the weird navigation toggle. Odd phone.

LG?? Their phone's are awful.

Just wait for the Samsung version of the same phone. You see Samsung and LG R&D for phones seem to take montly meetings with each other, where they tell each other what they are working on, allowing the other to make a version of the same.

LG Choc - Sam E900
LG KF600 - Sam Soul
LG KF390 - Sam U600

it goes on.
