The U880 offers all the major features expected of a video mobile on 3. The new slimline design from LG incorporates the full range of features including 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and an expandable internal memory of 80 MB. The U880 is the first handset from LG to feature an integrated antenna.
