This press release makes me wonder how if LG even had a chance to look at it before it was released. MPEG3 video support is rather novel given that MPEG3 video does not exist. I guess the good news is that since you can't find MPEG3 video content you can't prove the phone doesn't acutally support it.

BTW, this is a GSM phone, not CDMA so don't expect Sprint or other CMDA carriers to pick it up.
