        Ugly!I think LG sgould stop designing their own phones. What this world needed was not a 4:3 phone.

          They say the clothes sizes are odd in China an now the Jeans or Trouser Pockets have really got to be changed to put one of these phones in your pockets,LG are always trying to succede but they got themselves a bad name in the U.K by releasing below par mobiles on the 3 network an now not many people seem to put any Trust in buying any LG phone since then,an all we seem to get is a copy of a samsung phone by Lg

            another big brick phone
            mobile phone is a phone that u can bring anywhere with ease. So phone with more than 4' screen is not good. 3'7 is enough for me

                    I'm using a Galaxy Note and even with a 2500mAh battery, web browsing barely lasts 3 hours. The SuperAmoled screen takes up juice too fast.
                    For Optimus Vu, its no way gonna beat Galaxy Note.
                    Just look at that thing, its wide like a wall plug.

                      This look like a stretch Nokia N9. Look at those curve edges on the sides. Better dont release this, get some good design of your own.. LG same as Samsung copycats.

                        4:3 ratio is biggest stupidity. all movies are 21:9 or 16:9. this means that watching a movie on this crap will make it with black bars up and down and loosing a lot of screen. who needs a 4:3 ratio nowdays? stupid

                          1. An omap4470 would have been a better pick.
                          2. don't like the resolution and ratio
                          3. Battery

                                  I'm not gonna complain about the size of this thing. Sure it's wide but I don't worry. Pretty soon evolution will kick in and our palms will start growing to accommodate those bigger devices (you'd know that from carefully watching movies about aliens - slim palms, super long fingers) :P

                                  I still wouldn't buy that - after my last disappointment with an LG phone it's gonna take a lot (and I mean , a LOT!) of convincing before I adopt another one of their devices.

                                    Start downloading and browsing with such a battery. Would it even last for 4 hours? I doubt it.

                                      Way too wide. In terms of handling a phone, the approximate size of Galaxy Note is the limit.

                                        A Galaxy Note beater, this isn't. The design seems out of touch with what people want or need from a mobile device. I now know where the people who used to make these same bad decisions at Sony Ericsson found new employment! Inferior battery and lower PPI than the Galaxy Note when that's it's only competitor at the moment; shocking! Seems like a classic SE move to me... In the future, I see.... Quarterly loss reports. Well at least LG have their TV division will keep them afloat, Oh wait...
