On SE as the other money rippers (if not the main ones), point taken. They don't make a 3.5mm jack coz of their selfishness, the don't put enough software in their phones so that they'll have something ''new" for the next model and considering the fact that Sony makes PSP's they should have made the best gaming phones ever, and so is for LCD's, cameras, speakers and music.

        To me affordable should be around £200 , however lack of 3G will slash the price of this phone by 40% in 4-5 months in UK market.Moreover not sure if this phone is customizable (like symbian) and lacks GPS

The Americans (and our lovely Fin... morei agree that when the new nokia flagship comes they have outrageous prices but they soon drop to a level where you can save up a whole year and buy them, thats what i do just save up a fixed amount each month and in a year i'm bored with the old phone and ready for the latest and i usually stay 1 gen before the latest IE i'll get the N73 when N95 comes and get the N95 when N96 is coming..its a affordable logic but the great thing is that Nokia is making so many high enders that their prices drop much faster unlike SE where the K850i is still more than my N95, wonder how LG are gonna change the market

              Life is Good competition. The Americans (and our lovely Finnish money rippers) wish they were the only ones who came out with innovations every time so that they would rip us so hard and let us pay for everything including downloading files via bluetooth (so Apple wished) or go to their store when you want to download an application and music (now Nokia). The whole world can get innovative gadgets thanx 2 de Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. I'm sick and tired of Americans and Europeans who want 2 make gadgets for their rich mindless population.

                  well i hope isx is affordable which for me stands for 150euros downwards. but if you want cheap toutchscreens there are also the made in china iphone clones which are out there! and they are pretty cheap...dont know about performance and reliability though thats why i am keeping my money..

                    i think this is a great idea. it brings touch hi-tech to the masses. now the pricing will be the critical in uk if its under £200 this will go down a storm.

                    good luck LG. and you getting on top of the world in touch screen phones.

                        LG touchscreens are not that great. Not touch sensitive at all and it breaks very easily. I'm waiting for the Blackberry Storm, shoot.

                                    another touchphone without some real OS onboard.
                                    useless. just cause it's trend.

                                    LG, good advice, beter make an sucessor of KS20!
