Life is Good competition. The Americans (and our lovely Finnish money rippers) wish they were the only ones who came out with innovations every time so that they would rip us so hard and let us pay for everything including downloading files via bluetooth (so Apple wished) or go to their store when you want to download an application and music (now Nokia). The whole world can get innovative gadgets thanx 2 de Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. I'm sick and tired of Americans and Europeans who want 2 make gadgets for their rich mindless population.

i think this is a great idea. it brings touch hi-tech to the masses. now the pricing will be the critical in uk if its under £200 this will go down a storm.

good luck LG. and you getting on top of the world in touch screen phones.

LG touchscreens are not that great. Not touch sensitive at all and it breaks very easily. I'm waiting for the Blackberry Storm, shoot.

what's the point of having affordable touchscreen device but with such entry-level features?
it's like, LG trying to copy apple (iphone) strategies by releasing this phone.

this phone is so cool until i reach the point where it says "fixed focus" camera. If it had auto focus it would be a perfect phone for me

I like the way LG is rising and making a strong position day by day. Its been more than one year, they are making innovative marketing strategies and competing with the giants rivals. If this product becomes available within 180 euro, i think it will be a mass hit. Keep it up LG!
