              Anonymous, 23 Sep 2014That is indeed your problem. And basically only shared by o... moreIt's so funny how they go for it now. Just like half the g line and most mid rangers looking like galaxies. Just like Optimus ui and most of the features being a touchwiz knock off. Just like them randomly coming with the stylus integrated device. And now the flip phone just like samsung.

              Yet they can't actual match in most ways. Not that they are bad. I like them. But the obvious is obvious.

                      Janz, 22 Sep 2014Ignorant? I think you are the ignorant one... T9 works ... moreI agree 100%, Janz. There are way too many Eurocentric comments made on the Internet these days. Just because this is an English-only website does not mean that everyone has to think like a European.

                      Many Koreans prefer the numpad to write. It is quite efficient and very fast. I have witnessed it. I've seen grandmothers texting very quickly. It's quite astonishing. Their language is very scientific, so their is no need for a QWERTY-esque keyboard on a phone.

                        AnonD-291771, 22 Sep 2014You do realize that it has a numpad and not a qwerty keyboardYes. That was his/her point. The original poster was saying that a T9 keypad was dumb. The responder, Janz, rebutted by saying that Koreans don't require a QWERTY keypad. Honestly, the original poster was being very Eurocentric, which actually is quite ignorant.

                              Then it's relevant.

                              And LG is well known for copying samsung. Loom at the Optimus ui and the g line.

                              This comes after Samsung is paving this market and does nothing to differentiate itself except being cheaper.

                                Just another attempt to copy samsung that the fans will deny.
                                The didn't match the Samsung ones in anyway. The only win at one thing and that's price because they made this much cheaper in every aspect.

                                      Also they should've made it a swivel fold. As Samsung's Android Flip Phones have screens on both sides.

                                        3.5 inches? It should be 3.7 or greater as like Samsung's W2014 and G9098. Or at least make no bezel like the Sharp's Crystal phone to get to 4.0 or greater.
