Its entirely unwieldy, the shape is completely wrong. What is the matter with LG's design crew?

    Why is the note its arch nemesis?
    You cant draw on it so it rules out the use as a scrapbook.
    The battery is verry tiny
    Its unconfortable to hold like a square .( buy a moto flipout if you want a square phone)
    It resembles nothing to the note.


    SO where you guys come with that conclusion that the note will compete with this useless phone.

      And for all of you who complain that this thing has low ress screen compared to Note, let me just say this: this screen uses RGB matrice thus it has 768 subpixels per inch compared to 570 that note has so picture on this minitab will be sharper and it will have better color reproduction, not speaking of saturation here because IPS has realistic colors and OLED's tend to oversaturate them, let's just hope LG has done something to make the blacks on VU as close to OLED blaks as they possibly could

                  I like this phone. But it's too late for a release. I already have dell streak 5 and galaxy note. My not be buying this. I am waiting for a 5inch IPHONE and 5 INCH windows 8 phone. 4.3 inch phone is too small for me. Had IPHONE 4 but always wished it has bigger screen.

                                  AnonD-39775, 19 Feb 20124:3 ratio is biggest stupidity. all movies are 21:9 or 16:9... morewell this screen ratio is great for games and web browsing, and what do you do more often on mobile, browse web and play games or watch movies?? Not that I'm defending LG, I to think it is bit too wide and I love LG but you guys find 1 flaw in mobile phone and just cant stop whyining about it and you ignore all the good sides of it...
