Until a few months ago I was working in tech support for a major cell phone company, and I can tell you that LG phones suck.

Why Google would go with them is beyond me.

i have used a touchscreen (not a smart phone) from LG, and i would say it sucked.

OK, color me stupid, but is that an iphone on the right in the top most picture? Now if there were ever a reason for Apple to be suing the shit out of somebody for copying a phone, THERE would be the reason. I.e., my dumb ass couldn't tell the immediate difference.

Yet CrApple beats up Samsung over a phone I damn sure could tell the difference from. As Louis Wu said, "TANJ! There Ain't No Justice..."

Anyway, I haven't owned an LG phone so I'm on the fence as to the longevity of Google's offering here. Much less as to whether their OS is going to cut it or not. However, I'm definitely interested in seeing it work.

I wonder if we are looking at the same picture ! The one on the left has curved top and bottom + 3 buttons at the bottom in stead of 1. A very distinctive difference I would say.

They're both rectangle and have a touchscreen. Which there is really no other way to have a touchscreen phone.

Other than that - c'mon.

Like I said, I must have been daft, but the phone on the RIGHT

NOT THE LEFT - the phone on the RIGHT - looks like an iphone 5, running Google, whatever...

That's why I'm scratching my head trying not to displace what little hair I have left from falling out.
