LG and Sprint announce the Muziq

Despite some other music-phone launching later this week, Sprint and LG are announcing the LG MUZIQ.  If it weren't being announced sandwiched between scads and scads of iPhone posts, the MUZIQ might get some extra attention with some interesting features like a built-in FM transmitter that'll broadcast music to any FM reciever within ten feel, and support for SD cards up to 4GB (using SDHC.)

Music features aside, the phone is pretty standard, featuring a standard 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth (with DUN support so you can get your EV-DO tether on) and interestingly support for Pop3 email.  The phone also rocks out some EV-DO love should you need to get some over-the-air music streams or downloads.  If you're looking to clean up some of that pocket clutter with a small capacity MP3 player and clamshell handset, the MUZIQ might do the job come July 15th when it launches for $99 with a two-year contract.
