I'm betting it's gonna take ages for these to arrive to my country Malaysia.If I have to compare LG to say Samsung they're uber slow at aggressively courting South East Asian markets.Which is particularly odd considering the proximity.Having that said LG as its rival Samsung are South Korean companies with what's arguably the's world's largest "local" cellphone market at their disposal so maybe the behavior are somewhat understandable.

Still...

      The Chic phone looks nice, yet a bit like an iPhone.

        I don't know, even with beautiful ladies...LG phones doesn't have an appeal to me. They're way behind with Samsung.

          Anyone have any idea of the spec, whats the screen size, please not the usual LG 3.2", hopefully a proper 3.5 or 3.8" screen size.

            Apple never thought of this marketing strategy. I'll take the girl in the left. Nevermind the phone.

              Chicks aside (yes, they *are* distracting, lol), not a word on the GW620 / Eve, I suppose?

                Dear LG,
                I would buy those phones at premium prices with those chicks included.
                Thanks

                        copy-paste Android;
                        put some logo in the middle;
                        forbid all customization;
                        do some empty cycles;
                        do some stupid message;
                        comment "Android"
                        place "Windows phone 7";
