Like I've said b4, this set is awesome. But there r couple of this which bothered me. Does it have Zip? Are we able 2 create our own personal files? Is there MSN, PTT n stuffs? I am sure there is Flash which is cool. Yeah?

hey, first thanks gsm arena for this wonderful review.
second, for those from usa who are worried about triband, i'm from france and just spent an entire year in CA with a Sony ericsson W800 (Tribande (900-1800-1900 Mhz)) and it was working fine for me(i didn't say perfectly, but i also never had the opportunity to compare with a quad-band)
May be i got lucky ;)
Anyway, i'm definitly going for this "viewtyful" phone to succeed to my old SE (which unfortunatelly doesn't know how to swim, laughing)

It sure is getting lots of attention. But why no quad band? LG needs to take some cues from Nokia and Sony.

Ki - I have not seen a retailer carrying this phone in Canada yet. However, my guess is Bongowireless.ca will soon. I go to them to get my unlocked phones as they back them up with a warranty.

Thanks for the heads up on your use with tri-band.

I'm from Nepal n u guys r not going 2 believe how SLOW mobiles r released here. Especially LG which just sucks. (i'm not sure if i'm allowed 2 write tt word).
Anyway, i used 2 b a die-hard Nokia fan but after reading this review, i'm in love with this mobile. (thanks alot, gsmarena.com. Honestly, I am online EVERYDAY checking 4 new updates. Love this site.) But i can't wait 4 LG KS20 too. Post a review 4 tt mobile too, PLEASE. Thanks a million.

@mimstyle very strange...

@ Tordrumguy
@ XP

I live in Canada too and intend on buying one of these when it's released. I currently use a Sony Ericsson W700, which is triband.. and it's reception works fine (minus some places in my house). My sister uses an LG Chocolate which is also triband, and that works just fine. I don't think you should let the fact that this phone is triband turn u off it!!

O yea, and where do u intend on buying it from? I'm looking for potential stores and sellers.

Thanks

This phone is awesome, as a rule i usually steer clear of touch screen phones... being a clean freak i hate fingerprints but this may change my mind... having used a prada i must admit i am very impressed by its ease of use and quality... I may just have to aquire one of these babies when it gets unleashed in the UK market... Heres hoping that they dont get too crazy with the price tag! Keep up the good reviews GSMARENA! I regulaly refer to your reviews for details on phones in my job at vodafone and please keep it up!

It is tri-band! The specs are right and the review is wrong!
They shlould fix that, I presume. The official LG press release states tri-band GSM/EDGE.

In one of the earlier prototypes, LG had included an icon called "TV" in their menu. I see that is has been taken out. Seems like they are trying to narrow down its scope?

XP - they must have updated the review because it now says Tri-Band.

Sucks for us here in Canada ... so limited with phone options.
