            And our special guest (Craze) also thinks that LG soon will going down :

            "Hello everyone, I m perhaps the most eager fan of LG mobiles...thanks to their sleek designs. but i am worried about the future of the company since they are offering nothing when it comes to smartphones.Since the success of their Chocolate kg800 (the older one), they have been focusing on fashionable devices. Look at KF750 secret, GD900 Crystal, Viewty Smart, Shine ,BL40 new chocolate and now this on GD880 mini. All of these are amazing looking phones, but....what about OS. These are just feature phones( in other words DUMB phones).Now if they continue in the same way, what will happen to them in the nextone to two years. I am sure they will have to leave the third place for sony or MOTO. LG has not released even a single high end device after new chocolate BL40 (back in september 2009).Their sales are increasing but profit is decreasing. All of my..."

              asad, 18 Apr 2010LG in simply the worst there no satisfaction at all in the... moreBut they look nice.
              remember the original LG chocolate.
              they sold millions.
              It only took days for owners to realise that the phone was crap. But LG had their money.

              By contrast se phones such as the k750 and k800 are used for years.

                Buying LG phones is like throw my money to the ocean.
                "X10 can run android 2.1, it's a nice smartphone. It is unlocked in america, it should be a good news to all SE fans, but $1000 is too high, we should consider it is really worth the price.
                Although the price is completely un acceptable to us, there are still many users buy it. And the feedback is very well, 96% users give the comment that it is worth the price."

                    Woot, Congrats to Sony Ericsson on gettin back to profits!! So excited and can't wait to try the X10 and future products.

                    Some exciting things are going to come from SE later this year, such as the tablet, bravia tv, playstation etc:

                      LG in simply the worst
                      there no satisfaction at all in their phones
                      their menu and functions are baseless
                      i like their S Class
                      but except that all things are bad

                          I wonder how u people say that SE has better designs then LG. Can they ever think of creating a piece of art like BL40 new chocolate. I have checked BL40 and believe me , it is an amazing piece of art, super chic, luxury, sexy, attractive, fabulas..........
                          As far as UI is concerened, Your comments make me laugh. How can SE compete with LG'innovative S-Class 3D UI. Sony is not capabl;e to bring multi touch to any of its devices including X10 super phone( so-called). LG put multitouch in Arena in way back Feb,2009. They sold 1 million Arenas in just 5 months. SE's X10 will never reach to 1 million mark. Because we have much better options like , Desire, Nexus one, Glaxey s and one and only LG lu2300.

                            @craze LG do have great phones as well but we like SE more, better go to LG forums and praise their phones if you have nothing good to say. Take care

                                Don't you think that SE didn't a fabulous job? Experts were expecting it to lose 168m and gain profit by the beginning of 2011!! Imagine Adiel that no one expected SE to gain profit this soon, but they really did it ;)

                                I was talking to one of the girls that was planning to get the new iphone, after I showed her the X10 she told me she loves it and wants it now! So things are turning great for SE no worries :)

And if sony ericsson learned from the past this is totally great! And means they will really get stronger and stronger. Don't forget that the previous manager was responsible for many old mistakes and the new manager seems that he is fixing the mistakes! I mean for god sake look at the profits already!

                                    [deleted post]Only a ret*rd will say that LG makes better phones than SE, because its clearly not the case. Yes LG tries to pack too many features in some of its phones but always fails miserably when it comes to actually using these features as most of these don't even work the way they are suppose to. To me all LG and Samsung phones looks the same, the same boring designs over and over again,and the UI is so l-a-m-e that I don't want to ever see it again.
                                    Just compare a resistive touchscreen of SE with a LG and although you got a mind of size of a korean peanut but maybe you will see how good SE touchscreen is compared to LG. X10 capacitive touchscreen on X10 is another story, its just perfection.

                                      It is a full touch walkman running on Android with a 5mp camera, a 3.2'' screen and it looks similar to the Vivaz but sleeker and more beautiful.

                                      Expect that in Q3.
