AT&T today announced the new LG Trax, a sleek multi-purpose clamshell device that offers blazing-fast 3G HSDPA data speeds and the convenience of stereo Bluetooth functionality. 
The LG Trax features AT&T Mobile Music, giving users access to subscription music services such as Napster and eMusic, in addition to Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. The handset is MobiTV and XM Radio Mobile-capable, so customers can enjoy streaming live TV and digital radio all in one device.
The Trax's 3G data speeds through AT&T's UMTS/HSDPA network allows users to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while they're on the go. CV features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. The phone will also support AT&T's Video Share service, the first service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video over their wireless phones while on a voice call.
In addition to Video Share and a 1.3-megapixel camera, the Trax also offers in-camera photo-editing. This feature enhances the mobile photo-editing experience by allowing users to rotate, resize and crop photos and insert text into the photo images directly on the handset.
