At long last, the LG Vu is finally official. Yes, the touch-screen phone that was behind glass at CES is out in the open here at CTIA, and indeed, it will be one of the first two devices (aside from the Samsung Access) to support AT&T Mobile TV, AT&T's new live TV service.

It is all we expected it would be--a sleek and sexy handset boasting a 3-inch wide display. As a 3G phone, it also supports AT&T's other broadband offerings like AT&T Video Share and AT&T Mobile Music.

Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, an MP3 player, instant messaging, a HTML Web browser, and stereo Bluetooth. It'll be available starting in May 2008, but we don't know pricing yet.

Does this thing I have a hard drive, if not, than why not? I don't care about the expandable memory as much as I do about it having a smooth interface to add music and contacts. What about wifi?

Nice Phone. I hope its not as expensive as the iPhone. A hard drive might make it heavy. I'll settle for expandable memory up to 4GB.
