is windows 7 mobile gonna be as easy and useful as windows 7 desktop?

i find windows 6.5 and 6.1 on an orange handset very tricky and confusing. A newbie smartphone user will never like windows 6.1 specially.

      Don't really like the real-keyboard type. Prefer the one at MWC Conference.

          Corleone, 01 Mar 2010Why the hell would you want 720p@60fps , HDTV on your regul... moreBecause you should watch at least 50fps - human physiology (eyes and brain). The current TV sets in US today are 120Hz(60pps) and 240Hz(120fps). In Europe 20 years ago was 100Hz(50fps due to PAL and SECAM). So, 60fps is more than welcome! Of course Japan is always way ahead (shame on Europe and US).

            I think I am gonna love this phone. I actually prefer thicker phone with big wide screen. Well done LG.

              It may have 1gb of RAM, but how much of that will be user available after boot up.It seems that alot of companies advertise handsets as having 'x' amount of RAM, but it's quite common that a lot of that is taken up by programs needed to make the phone run. By the looks of the keyboard, it's only a four row keyboard.
              Although it's a good looking handset and not overly huge in the hand.

The LG expo looks like it has the same build quality as this phone, so if that phone is solidly built (it looks fairly sturdy), then this one is probably better.
                                      Let's hope LG's bad reputation won't get worse with this phone, the first WP7 device being a flop would not be a good start. It looks very nice though.
