LG's Shine and Vu for AT&T: colors, dates, and FLO -- oh my!

So here's the deal for AT&T's CU720 Shine: AT&T looks to be preparing the anticipated slider (or, at least it was anticipated like a year ago) for a Black Friday launch. The silvery model will launch first, with black and red both planned for early '08. The Vu -- alias Prada, alias CU920 -- is still on track for an early '08 launch, too, though LG and AT&T are apparently pushing hard to get it rolled out in December, presumably to catch some last-minute holiday sales. MediaFLO support is confirmed in this bad boy, meaning that glorious display should see a little more action than the Cellular Video and MobiTV options AT&T subscribers have today. Oh, and are you wondering how that name's pronounced? Turns out it's "view," not "voo." Thank goodness.

[Thanks, Kal-El]

This very nice but it would best I think if they released Lg Viewty here I mean the prada has been out for almost a year now (international) and the viewty can do much more.

Is this the LG KS20?

I'm confused, I have a Prada and it's a KE850 not a CU920 (aka Viewty). Or is the Viewty(CU920) branded as a Prada in the states? It's branded as a normal LG in Europe.

I think that if LG wants to launch different colors, it should color the screen accordingly. Like the original version has a silver tinted screen, the pink one should have a pink tinted screen and so on.

I don't think that MediaFLO will be included in the Vu if it launches a bit early in December: http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUKN2564705420071025?rpc=44 AT&T has delayed the launch of MediaFLO until sometime in early 2008.
