Wow, It makes me wonder if you lot who are saying negative things about the phone have actually USED it. I was honestly starting to believe all the negativity you guys are spewing. "its too long, remote control, wont fit in hands, or pocket. untill I used it...." first of all, its the perfect size for a portable phone, the ergonomics make sense, its not too small, or long to feel awkward to use. the length fits perfectly in the hand, unless you are a 3 year old child, that's not even an issue. and it has a nice weight to it. all the phones I have purchased were based functionality/aesthetics.

that being said, I have a few gripes with this phone.

web experience is clunky, drains the battery like mad. OS is pretty, but slow, and a bit clunky as well. just consider this an beautiful phone, with cool features and you wont be disappointed. I'll be happy once the APP store is up and running.

style over substance for sure. but it pretty much has all your bases covered. great media playback experience, brilliant form factor, web browsing... makes phone calls...

I had this phone, so far it is 1 of the best phone that i ever had with the looks, features and durable enough, most of my phone i always encounter hang ups even just a weeks from the date i purchase it. but this 1 never i encounter problem so far...This is also the first time i used LG, my first impression b4 is that they are not maker of phones but when i try this one i can really say that its a very good decision i made buying this phone. and i think i will be their customer again.

Nasty phone with any java or brew applications.
LG designers sure goofed up this time.
The BL20/42 is much better with applications compatibility and design.
The length of the phone makes it unpractical and pure ugly.
The touch screen is roughly labeled and crosses touch areas even in the phone's OS.
Conclusions: unpractical, ugly, too long , bad touchscreen, no deal.

for those who want to know, i doubt they will make a 1900mhz 3g band for it. i do know for a fact that this phone will be available throught verizon. but seriously, those remote control comments r right... this thing is so long... i mean even if it fits in ur pocket it will be a hassle :/ but for one ur own so yeah :]

come on, the phone is long but it's not that long if you compare it to the hand in the picture.

if that phone can not fit in your pants pocket then you are wearing your pants way too tight.

I agree now that this piece of junk is ridiculous and is not going to sell at all! I work at the carphonewarehouse in the UK and I thought it looked amazing!! But when it arrived in store my opinion was soon changed by this ugly black lump! The phone has the worst touchscreen, it's so uncomfortable in hands, it's heavy and does not fit in a pocket, the camera takes ages to take a photo and it's just UGLY! Many people have returned it and when suggested to customers they look disgusted and repulsed after using it! We may remove it from the Market! I hate to say it but stick with apple or blackberry! Touchscreens are getting ridiculous, times need to move on!!
