    this preview compares the lg phone to the iphone way too much, considering apple didnt invent a fraction of the stuff on the iphone.
    and to correct my previous post, iphone wasnt the 1st phone with a capacitive screen. lg prada was.

      Mahe, 04 Sep 2009LG finally did a great job of copying from iphone.. If they... morelol iphone barely introduced anything new. they were the 1st phone to hv a capacitive touchscreen but thats about it. apple did NOT invent/introduce:
      multitouch
      slide to unlock (appeared on neonode phones 1st)
      touch to focus (on 3gs)
      the way iphone calls was copied from palm
      ambient light sensor for display brightness (from palm) and several other patents that palm had
      accelerometer (htc advantage had it before)
      flick finger to scroll thru menus (copied from neonode)

      idk y ppl keep thinking apple is so innovative and came up with certain features when they hvnt.

          LG finally did a great job of copying from iphone.. If they want it to be revolutionary mobile think new and implement it.. Moreover feature phones never be revolutionary..

              The features look promising, but its functionality will be compromised due to its insufficient battery.

                the features are awesome but everytime i look at the BL40 it's still a f*cking remote control

                  The features are impressive; however, it makes me think that it has just copied most of the features of the iPhone and added some more to make it extra special. The length also bothers me. Other than these, I think it's a magnificent phone.

                    They should have made this an ipod type device, as a phone it kinda blows

                        simply made it longer, they made a revolutionary design. simplicity is easy to get but difficult to apply.
