    This phone looks nice, it has a wi-fi and i wonder about battery live on it, the OS almost symbian look, where that would be one advantage for this device, must have been some stereo speakers in both ends, but anyway it's quiet long thing, you could kill man beating with it in head..., lol!

          With regards aspect ratio, although wide screen is all the rage - and does look cool - the human eye much prefers square displays. Palm did much research into this before launching the original palm pilot. Our field of view is not wide screen, more two overlapping ellipses. Our two eyes are to provide stereoscopic (and therefore) depth perception vision - not a wide screen view of the world. Yes, wide screen is useful for displaying multiple pages of content and so is not an invalid concept. The BL40 from LG while looking cool, appears to be a mix of the iPhone, their original Prada and the Arena. The shape is not practical, a square or short candybar is still the easiest to slip into a pocket. This one is for the ladies who will probably drop it into their purses/handbags when not updating their Facebook profiles... ;)

                  Lg make nice looking mobiles but before they succede they need to work on the reliability on there mobiles,we do not want buy mobiles then never stick up to there potential,the Renior an Arena that my mates have have really been a waste of money as they always freeze an the camera functions are not working correctly

                      That aspect ratio, as interesting as it might be, just doesn't look right. The phone looks too long.

                        it really looks like a choko tablet,but it's too long. The photos and clips are 4:3 in general,especially photos. They will be too small in the center of 21:9 display,so 4 inches are useless. Only for hd movies will be good. Toooo looong,i repeat. 16:9 is the best

                                Intresting phone but at the end of the day it's an LG people will think twice before buying it and let's not forget that Apple iPhone is still the major market share holder and now Sony Ericsson will be launching their 4" Screen touch phone powered by Android very soon.

                                But I guess overall from what i read about the specs and the quality it's a really good option for people to buy but they have to see all their other options first...

                                  LG could be a great Samsung competitor, as I can see, they are working very hard, to take the crown from Samsung, but this is possible?Well we will see!:)

                                        Great phone, I'm sure it will be faster than the Arena. The S-class ui is probably one if not the best looking ui out there. I'm using the Arena right now and the renoir, was going to by the idou for a smartphone but this definitely shakes up my plans.
