I fully understand what’s being said, but “All your market share are belong to us”??? If this was suppose to be witty, maybe someone should proofread the grammar!

Lg is a pretty good company and its fair to say we sell that brand the most outside of blackberry. Their lowend models do leave a lot ti be desired but then again you get what you pay for. I just hope their black label isn’t going to have a resistive screen bats 3 inches or less.

I agree the iPhone wouldn’t be much without the iTunes/app store. This says a lot for Steve Jobs the man is a pure genius!

LG will need to match the level and mastery of Steve Jobs. Otherwise it’ll be just another phone.

@ FarmerBob,

The phrase is from a video game (Zero Wing), originally a Japanese video game, which was poorly translated.

Original phrase is “All your base are belong to us.”

NO PHONE that runs Win Mobile will ever be a threat to the iphone PERIOD. Android is an another matter and in a few years could threaten the iphone with the right hardware.

It funny how this company says, “We’re going to aim higher and try to make better phones” and all you all have to say is how your old/current pieces of crap suck. Yeah… ok… isn’t that that point of them trying harder?

If your wives/girlfriends (assuming you’re not gay) said, “I’m getting new breast implants”, would you reply with, “Whatever, your old tits sucked anyway and probably will still suck if you upgrade” ??

In the end, I won’t judge until I see the actual final products. It’s too bad Ericsson and Motorola don’t adopt a similar, do-better, competitive attitude.

Every brand is using term “Black Label” as a up market branding tool. G2 Black Label (clothing company), Samsonite Black Label and now… LG Black Label. Seriously, can people name a premium brand something other than than what they mix their green tea with in karaoke rooms?

Really? LG?

Anyone seen the Incite outside of an ATT store? NO! Give up.

“All your market share are belong to us.”

Good start. Poor “English”. Is this a sign?

I think LG has the potential, its just that they need to utilize it in this “Black Label”

Hopefully LG’s new phones are more useful than their internet connected refrigerators

Damn what was I thinking.

I personally like LG phones. And I havent had any problems with the ones I’ve had (Versa, Vu, Wave). But they are pointed more towards teens. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Im tired of th iPhone.

When someone makes a phone with big processor, big CAPACITIVE screen, Android or?, lots of memory and runs it on CDMA, THEN you have an iPhone competitor. If Samsung was running Android and had ditched the resistive screen on the upcoming Omnia II, it would sell the living shit out of them on Verizon. Someone needs to step up! Toshiba?

hmmm, so LG is now trying to be the Hyundai of cell phone companies (my auto enthusiasts would understand that comment)

I wonder if the Black Label phone is a new version of the Prada.

My fiancee has an LG Lotus, first LG phone that anyone I know has owned. It has been the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever seen. Software and signal are alright but she’s on Lotus #4 now in a 6 month time period due to hardware problems. First 2 had screen issues, the inner and outer screens became all distorted and eventually stopped working and the last one started making a bad static noise during calls. Sprint knows it too, when phone #3 went bad they offered her an early upgrade so she could get something else, if #4 goes bad she needs to take them up on that offer. LG phone are junk.

The first manufacturer to launch a hi-res, OLED, Tegra/OMAP/Snapdragon driven Android phone wins.

If that describes the Black Label, then LG wins.

You know, the HTC Ozone might be considered a Tour competitor, or at least a BlackBerry one.

Damn, Steve always with his -.02 We get it, you love apple/iphone. Competition is good for the market, it leads to more options and innovation. I’m not a fan of anything LG, but I hope they can make good on what they are saying. People need to realize that there is more out there than the iphone (which is starting to remind me of the razr craze, only worse!).

i really don’t think lg has the potential of coming close to an “iphone competitor”. I’ve never seen a smooth, innovative os or hardware come out of them, all their products are mid to lower end. we’ll see tho.

Over the years I have bought a number of LG Phones. Some i have liked others meh. I don’t think I will buy another LG phone though I can’t really figure out if it is the LG phone I hate, or the fact that verizon keeps crippling all the features of the phones I buy.
