After the farce that is the LG Arena, I am never likely to buy one of their devices again, no matter how enticing the specs are.

Before anyone considers getting this, take into account that LG's typical build quality and customer service is frankly appalling (although I accept that at least the software should work properly since it is Android, not their god-awful S Class UI)]]>Apr 13th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Opinions. http://bit.ly/lg-lu2300-series]]>Apr 13th 2010 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/hence they are LG ([only] Looks Good)]]>Apr 13th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/

For sure.

what's the screen rez on this?

HVGA?

Kinda hard to tell, but it looks like it COULD even be 16:9 rather than 3:2]]>Apr 13th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/
That's an excellent question. I'm sure the answer is not easy to come by. The mobile industry is still growing rapidly outside of the US but has matured somewhat in subscriber numbers inside the mainland. I suspect that sales of handsets would correlate with contract changes. The telecoms know the numbers but it's privy to investors and buried and distorted by all sorts of analysts and pundits. The rate of handset introductions, especially among Android platforms, may either reflect contract turnovers or new subscribers. It's probably a bit of both. ]]>Apr 13th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/2. Make it cheap at least less then $550 without contract in Sweden.
3. Make a even huger ad campaign then the GW620 got.
4. Promise that you will release as many updates to newer versions of Android as possible, at least all new versions for 2 years from release date.
5. Make the keyboard awesome, so you can text with lightning speed.

Add all this in to a beautiful mesh and you will have a HUGE hit!]]>Apr 13th 2010 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/Apr 13th 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/
I just hope that if it comes to the US, that it doesn't go to AT&T. I wouldn't want such a beautiful phone gimped with AT&T's bad decisions like replacing Google search with Yahoo! and taking away the Google apps store.]]>Apr 13th 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/lgs-snapdragon-powered-lu2300-android-handset-gets-official/
Thinking the same exact thing...

+ good keyboard
+ no skins
+ nice design

- not coming to the US (or at least not any time soon if the rumor is correct)

I can only assume you were defending the phone and something tells me you are doing it for all the wrong reasons, as many commenters here do whenever a new android phone is announced.
The only thing worse than Apple fanboys are people who defend every product that competes with Apple (HP Slate, JooJoo).
I'm just making assumptions of course, maybe you really do like this phone . . . yeah.
