LG Vu now in a purple 'wine' color
LG Vu in wine
(Credit: LG by way of Boy Genius Report)Remember the LG Vu? Yeah, that's one of the first phones to offer AT&T's live Mobile TV service. We haven't heard a lot about it since its debut oh-so-many months ago, but apparently AT&T is set to reintroduce it to the public with a brand new purple hue that looks like a wine color.
If you'll recall, the LG Vu has a really nice 3-inch-wide touch-screen display, with HSDPA, and a 2.0-megapixel camera. It'll likely still be available for around $100, but we oddly can't find it for sale on AT&T's online store. Perhaps they've sold out and are awaiting new a shipment? We'll see.

If you use your phone outside often you might want to consider a different phone, otherwise its fine.

- Where can this rare purple Vu be found? I'm switching to AT&T in a few days and I would love to have a wine colored Vu rather than just a black.

(4 Comments)The only place I've been able to find the 'wine' is at Wirefly, and they're offering it free for current and new AT&T customers. Here's the link: http://www.wirefly.com/template/simpleautocontent.aspx?pageid=3558&r=wdclinkshare
No one else seems to have it, so I hope they don't run out before I can get one!
