LG should be using this money on improving their products reliability and software instead.

Their phones are absolute rubbish. The software on every LG is useless, it always freezes and on many of their models, they become bricks that can't even turn on anymore.

LG is reluctant to put any money in their support department to provide firmware updates and fixes for existing models. All they care about is sales. Sadly, it works because most of their phones look quite good, but in the long run, everyone will realize what crap their phones are.

If you have a chance, visit their HK website and go to their warranty section... it appears to be "Under Construction".... How is this company alive?

you guys are just lucky that LG is unheard of in the philippines (that's why we're not in the contest!). guys from the phil is either on nokia and SE so there's no reason for LG to invite filipinos in this contest. yay! @_@

and as i've said, all you guys are lucky that we're not participating coz IF we are, a gradeschooler will hand out yer @$$3$ on a silver platter hahaha ^_^

philippines is the texting capital of the world, it's so hardcore that we have unlimited texting plans for as low as US$6 a month haha lels @_@

I'd know, I had it, pathology confirmed, and had 1 day off work. so did my girlfriend. it was p*ss weak, had worse hangovers. People just love to panic.
