Good news for those of you interested in reducing your energy use:

The world's top five cellphone makers last week launched a common energy rating system for phone chargers, making it easier for consumers to compare and choose the ones consuming the least energy.

The new rating system is a cellphone industry response to heavy criticism from environmentalists. The industry has become the world's top consumer electronics business by volume.

The new ratings system covers all chargers currently sold by Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG Electronics, and ranges from five stars for the most efficient chargers down to zero stars for the ones consuming the most energy.

Kodak hits the South Korean conglomerates with some lawsuits.

Eastman Kodak Co. is not happy. At least not with the current #2 and #5 largest phone manufacturers, Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. The imaging giant filed a lawsuit against both South Korean conglomerates in New York, and, as an added bonus, also lodged a complaint with the International Trade Commission. According to Kodak, the two companies - what else? - infringed on a couple digital camera patents 1993, 1997, 2001.

LG have made some really sweet looking mobile phones over the past year and a bit. The Viewty, the Secret, the LG Renoir… they could all be described as “dead sleek” and “ooh, look, aren’t they pretty”. But, as many people know, there’s a fine line between looking cool and looking absurd.

According to Engadget Mobile, LG may have just crossed that line with their new mobile phone, the LG KC560.

According to research firm Strategy Analytics, Samsung Electronics surpassed Motorola in the third quarter to became the largest mobile phone vendor in the United States. Samsung's broad device portfolio across multiple carriers, technologies and segments were the key reasons behind its growth.

We all know there are some really scarily powerful mobile phones headed our way this Christmas… but what if you don’t want to go for the top of the range phone? What if you want something similar, but want to stick to a budget? What if you want a mobile phone that’s nearly as powerful as the really new, exciting ones, but it’s loads cheaper?

What, in fact, if you want awesome power on a budget?

Over the past few weeks, mobile phones have started coming out that have redefined the world of the camera phone, and their prime achievement has been to make 5 megapixel mobile phones, something we all raved about a year ago, look rubbish in comparison.

You may well have guessed that I’m talking about mobile phones with 8 megapixel cameras.

Well, since all of the ones that’ve been announced have either gone on sale, or will do soon (and since regular blog reader Diana contacted me, since she really can’t decide which one she wants), I reckon it’s about time I did a rundown of the 8 megapixel mobile phones you can get your hands on so far.

News from the world of Windows Mobile, now, thanks to an article from the Boy Genius Report. A preliminary deal’s been signed to further ensure we’ll see some top-end LG-made Windows Mobile phones in the future. Which is good, since the only one in recent memory was the LG KS20 (the one in the pic), and we didn’t get it in the UK (even though it was made famous in Iron Man)…

This is a good thing, because the combination of Windows Mobile and LG brings together two disparate, but important factors:

1/ Windows Mobile is dead powerful.

2/ LG mobile phones are dead sexy.

According to data released today by Strategy Analytics, 303 million cellphones were shipped worldwide in Q3 2008, up a disappointing 5% year-over-year. A marked slowdown in shipments to emerging markets caused the industry’s weakest growth rate since 2002. Four of the top 7 vendors grew at single-digit rates or less. Apple was the star performer, grabbing a 2% global share. Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG were below par, while Apple, RIM and Samsung outperformed.

Specific details:

You may remember that I’ve blogged about mobile phones on display in the top BBC drama Spooks, before. You may also recall that I said they should probably be jealous of their MI6 equivalent (a certain Mr Bond), because he gets better mobile phones than them.

Well, now that the 7th series of Spooks has hit our screens, we can finally answer the important question: have MI5 given their field agents better mobile phones?

Oh, and is Jo dead, obviously…

Well, I’ve been hearing rumours about this for a while, but, me being me, I wanted to wait until something official arrived before I shouted about it. Well, now, it’s gone official, according to Engadget.

It’s the LG Prada II, and it’s set to meld the worlds of high-tech and designer fashion, like never before.

Well, we’ve had the revelation that is the LG KC910 Renoir, but that’s not the end of the story…

LG have only gone and confirmed they’re bringing out another 8 megapixel mobile phone, according to Electronista. Only this time, they’ve gone not for a big touchscreen, but a slim, sliding phone that sits just right alongside its big brother. It’s called the LG KC780, but what can we expect from this sliding little beauty?

Now, this is an interesting story, broken by one of the retailers we have on site, Phones4U. After all the searching for mobile phone news, it pops up on our own doorstep! It seems that very soon, Samsung are going to be launching a second 8 megapixel camera phone, to go with the already-released Samsung i8510 INNOV8. Details are very, very thin on the ground, but we do know its name.

It’s going to be called the Samsung M8800 Bresson. And there’s no point Googling it, since every story links back to Phones4U. So, I’m guessing ‘exclusive’…
