1.) I can't believe he went through that entire review without showing an on screen keypad!! With as popular as texting is world wide, that would be one of the MAJOR elements to it.
2.) I thought the design cues were carried out well through the entire phone, and this is probably going to be $600 w/o contract, so a better bargain (as this will probably also run Java games/apps).
3.) Looks like a definite prototype, there were some miscues in the software that can possibly be tweaked out. I liked it, personally, and I really like that there are call/end buttons (so I don't dial the number 4 like Mr. Jobs), and that the programs have a direct open / play key at the bottom to not allow for accidental double tapping
4.) Iphone definitely has the cool factor of the accelerometer and the sensor to turn off the touch screen while in use. I wonder if LG thought of that, or at least a hard key to lock the keypad whilst in the pocket.
