So far i am satisfied with my p970 loving it . it is not a high end phone eventhough it packs a 1 ghz processor by today standard and as the benchmark for a highend phone is a dual core processor..now it can be classified as a mid high end class and few fall in this category.. htc samsung sony ericson and other major smartphone brands have at least one entry in this level they offer diff selling point on there devices but here are the creteria i think to consider on your cellphone to be called a mid high end class..
1.price below 500 dollars or below 20 thousand pesos is a big attraction for a mid range phone
2.good screen quality a nova,ips lcd and super amoled is the benchmark to look for
3.operating system and now gingerbread is to look for when buying but froyo is still a good os
4.processor ..well 1ghz is the benchmark here so less than a 1 ghz is a minus
5. aesthetic and design well minimalism and lightweight is cool and in so it depends what is your design taste but for me lightweight and minimalism must not sacrifice durability of the phone.
6.good camera a 5 mp is a standard but a 8 mp is a bargain if is still below 500 dollars or 20 thousand pesos ( remember high end phone now have 8 mp and above as cam) plus also is a dual cam for video calling
well i hope this will give you a idea what a mid high end phone is .. my phone is lg p970 fortunately it meet all the criteria except for the os well i hope the lg tech will roll out the upgrade gingerbread soon for it will really define it on his class range .

      So far i am satisfied with my p970 loving it . it is not a high end phone eventhough it packs a 1 ghz processor by today standard as the benchmark now for a highend phone is a dual core processor.now it can be classified as a mid high end phone few others can now be classified with this class(xperia arc, galaxy s, htc desire to name..) considering that the black is the latest of its class it should have come with the latest os gingerbread but dissapointing enough we end up with froyo i am not saying its not a good os for the black but as i have said being the latest it should have gingerbread already upon its released. As a package with a good nova display solid design a capable processor well its safe to say the 5mp camera is not the best out there but having a 2mp front cam is a big plus ..

        Very nice overall which packeged nicely in an affordble wrap.

        For the budget conscience user who still wants decent Droid. This is a very good phone which offers good value for money. Although I bought it from a competitor in South Africa it's best to get it from Cell C as they include 500MB as part of the package.

        Well done LG!

                              Is it true that the Camera quality is just on par with HTC phones?
