How would a 21:9 screen work? Since a standard widescreen display is 16:9, wouldn’t the image be stretched out a little too wide?

@ Joe

I like it and i’ll like it even more if the app stores holds interesting apps [dictionaries, books, media players, nice games]

It could be a killer, specially with a big soft keyboard with multi-language support.

Looks like Verizon will finally have a good iPhone competitor.

Why does everyone say this is headed to VZW?

Ok, obviously this phone isn’t. Its a GSM phone, so lets get that out of the way right now. Second, lets look at the other “black label” phones. There was a version of the chocolate that went to VZW and then the Shine ended up at AT&T.

Thats 50-50 so far (I don’t think the Secret has a NA version yet but the rumors point to AT&T for that one too).

that phone is hella ugly. It looks like a gigantic thin brick. Eh. seems like great specs tho. I just don’t really believe in lg. btw is this supposed to be a smartphone or a featurephone?

@gadgetchic

Agreed. Their crap UI could ruin anything. Perhaps another reason why Apple decided to give the big middle finger to VZW in the first place? VZW has great service and all, but to monopolize the UI as they have done is a shame. They’ve killed so many phones that could be great without it.

That is the funniest/truest comment ever.

i dont think thats fake. that would take waaaay to long to edit. too bad, its a nice phone but if it lands stateside it will be on verizon and they will ruin it with their stupid ass software. i feel like verizon is the only thing holding lg back from being a real innovator in the cell phone game. their phones are nice but it doesnt matter if the ui is shitty ass verizon’s.

@Apbtlvr,

Um, are not all QWERTY keyboards identical? After all it’s what’s known as a “standard”

Anyone else think it’s funny that they used U2’s “Salome” b-side for music?

By: zach

zach — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:03:58 +0000

if only the software ran like it does in the demo videos. It’s probably really laggy and slow unless it (hopefully) runs on tegra or snapdragon. looks pretty decent though, but s-class ui is trash.

That’s a sexy phone. And yes the original chocolate was shitty but that doesn’t mean this one will be.

Nice. But I still gotta have the keyboard.

Does any one remember the chocolate? It was a piece of sh!t. So now lets get excited over the next bigger piece of sh!t.

What are the other dimensions? Same as existing chocolate?

By: linuxfanatik

linuxfanatik — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:16:07 +0000

Amazing how someone can always find something to bitch about…We possibly have here another 4in. Touchscreen and you still whine….

It seemed to have an identical keyboard as the IPhone. I’d find that questionable.
