Gadling giveaway - 2 LG Vu phones with Mobile TV!
The LG Vu is a great phone for travelers. It has a 2 megapixel auto-focus camera with 2x zoom (for photos and videos), streaming radio capabilities, 3G speed, a large, 3" touchscreen, and it's equipped with Video Share (one-way live streaming video, meaning you can film something and the person on the other end of your call can watch), as well as AT&T Mobile TV. AT&T's Mobile TV is amazing for road trips, couples who can't agree what to watch on TV in their hotel room, and basically any situation where you're waiting for any period of time. Channels include CBS Mobile, CNBC, Comedy Central, ESPN Mobile, FOX Mobile, FOX News, MSNBC, MTV, NBC2Go, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and Pix, and the service costs $9.99/mo as an addition to any existing AT&T plan. The LG Vu has it, and we have two LG Vus to give away!
You'll have to get an AT&T plan to use them, but if you don't already have one, you should know that AT&T has more coverage worldwide than any other network (click here for more info), and was recently honored as having the "Best Mobile Phone Coverage in the World" by Business Traveler Magazine. You can leave one of these at home with your honey and stream them a video of whatever you're up to abroad; that service starts at just $4.99 per month.

I'd love to say I'd use this on my next trip, but as bad as AT&T coverage is chances are I'd be staring at nothing for a while. :)

I travel weekly and would love to be able to keep up on the TV shows I DVR at home and then never have time to watch on the weekends!
BB Dec 17th 2009 4:27PM
Ready to travel at any time....I'd be keeping up with "Lost" or "Madmen" -- whichever I'm following at the time.

I am often on the road and could definitely use this to catch up on news and current affairs coverage. Thanks for this awesome offer! :)

I'm going to Australia in March and I've heard that NCIS is the most popular American TV show in OZ, so I will be watching that.

A weekend trip to Mammoth has been planned for the holidays. I'd watch Survivor, Leno, Conan on the Tonight Show, Flash Forward, Man vs Food, Man vs. Wild... Myth Busters, and much much more.

I would love to use one of these on my next road trip to the middle of Pennsylvania. We travel from NJ and meet relatives who travel from Michigan.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Thailand early in the new year. Would love to keep up with shows like the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the Big Bang Theory while on vacation.

Since I wasn't able to take my Christmas time cruise this year as soon as I get my tax refund I'll be heading to the Caribbean for at least a week. Phones like these are great when at the airport to keep up with the news or anything on the Discovery channels. I'm also hooked on Criminal Minds.

I'm going to Chicago and will take photos of christmas around the city.
I'll watch Gossip Girl and Saturday Night Live on my new LG!

I'm headed to western China for a month in mid-2010. Would like to watch Nat Geo!
Sara Cooper Dec 17th 2009 5:39PM
Work, for now, and I plan on watching Fringe and Bones.
I do plan on taking my nephew to Disney this year and maybe Jamaica, if only to get away from the cold in upstate NY.

I'd love to go somewhere warm this winter, although I have nothing planned. I'd watch the news channels...Fox, CNN, MSNBS, as I'm a news junkie.
