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.

@ 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.

I'm from Canada. I really like to find a source that can confirm whether it supports GSM850 . GSMarena spec said it was quad-band before and had been updated to tri-band since a few weeks ago. And this review says that one of its advantage is that it is QUAD-band again? I relaly like to this phone but if it's tri-band, then it won't receive well in Canda/US. Pitiful :
