Why LG?
Why only Samsung make swap-able battery, SD card support, not onscreen buttons waste of display..... lately???

Wake up LG, Nokia, HTC. SONY...... Wake up. We need real rival to Samsung. We need choice.
Otherwise Samsung will burry you all, and will be alone on the market.
You are not Apple with their faithful zombies, that can buy any shining handicap crap.

      LOL, did samsung say ' not wasting space with a mechanical button at the bottom" ????
      So WHY is the SAME space wasted with the LG logo????

      Also I can see many putting down/ picking up, and accidentally pressing the button on back.... :/ :/

            With UHS104@128gig extra-sd available I can't believe some or most G2 devices will lack external sdcard slots. Shows me the "learning from you" is total.hype from LG. Why design a cutting edge flagship device then restrict storage to as littlenas 16gigs? And pardon but using the "free cloud storage" isn't the same. You can't install to the cloud. LG has made a sweet phone but soured it some. Just hope the carriers I use offer the sdcard variant.

If its not Triluminous i will keep my Xperia Z a little longer, it has great battery after the most recent software updates, nothing wrong with the display as well.

                              Lg are making a Big mistake announcing the G2 to late in the year,as Sony an Samsung will release more feature phones in the last quarter of 2013,the camera might be o.k,but will the back functions really attract buyers seems odd,LG have really got stop copying Samsung phones before there presence in the mobile market exist,as most of there phones look like Samsungs All the time
