You could say this phone is a carbon copy of the I phone. But LG is my most favriote electronic company and I like all their fabulous inventions. This phone looks more advanced then the I phone because I absolutely hate the company Apple, I thought apple was a fruit.

> In reply to Leo @ 2009-02-20 22:14 from G2GSi think this phone looks excellent, has excellent specs but its got one big let down, the battery, if they upgrade that battery then this phone will be an animal, but for now its useless as a mobile phone with that battery.

i currently own the nokia 5800, its ok, nothing too amazing, but the one thing to be proud of is its battery, a phone with amazing power and specs this may be but its not much good to you when its dead every other day. ok yeh its not that big a deal but the n95 posted similar specs and was let down by the battery, lets hope LG figure this out before a launch.

overall tho, wow this phone is shaping up very nicely!!, update that battery LG!

did u guys see the UI test video?
Its so slow and un-responsive. Not as fluid as iPhone.

They still have a long way to go....
Good start, but knowing LG, they will release an exact same phone with slight modification to the UI in a month or two (where as they can just release firmwares).

This is going to be a disappointment.

Thanks for the detailed specs!
Just three juestions:
1) Is H.264 (AVC HD) supported for MPEG4 files?
2) Document viewer (DOC, XLS, PDF) - have you used this viewer? If you have, what are your impressions?
3) Can you tell more about GPS in KM900? Is there any custom app - or just Google Maps?
