Yeah, we've seen the PR, ogled the specs, but real honest-to-goodness pics are doing nothing but make our grins bigger. LG's KC910 packs everything under the sun into its newest and flashiest handset, from an 8 megapixel cannon to Dolby Mobile, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, this will be a tough review unit to return if we get our paws on one. Apparently still slated for an October release, we've no word on pricing, but you can expect it to sting dearly off-contract. We'll be following this set really closely, so do swing back and we'll be sure to tell ya what we find out. Follow the read link to get the pics

You call an iPhone clone "high art?"
(And the UI's kinda fugly, to boot...)

Oh right, an iPhone...! I was wondering what that piece of hi-tech art actually reminded me of...! ;)

Yea, it MUST be an iPhone clone because the iPhone was the first device to have a touch screen, be rectangular, have chrome on the side, and have a camera on the back?
But oh wait! the iPhone also has at least a half decent camera and a removable battery... wait a second.. whoops it doesn't :x

I have to admit it. The iPhone is something like never before! I mean I've had an iPhone clone before. Yeah, I admit it. It was called the TouchPoint 3000 on Sprint, and I had it in '99. Apple's iPhone is so far advanced, that I had a clone 8 years before it launched! Now that's impressive!

Not that anyone cares, but assuming sensor size remained the same, that camera would give better results as a 4MP than as 8MP.

There's another LG Touchscreen in the making. This one will be exclusively sold by The Phone House. I got my hands on one of those, last wednesday, at The Phone House Christmas event in Holland: http://www.mobilecowboys.com/mobilerumors/176

I think any phone using a font like Comic Sans for their URLs is an instant fail.

Um . . . yeah . . . well . . . hmmmmmm . . . you can change your font on the high end LG phones now. So . . . well . . . I guess that means your argument is moot. Then again . . . ummm . . . well . . . I've never heard that before, so . . . hmmmmm. Is it friday yet?

I've had my Viewty for 9 months now, and it definitely hasn't lived up to what I hoped for. The camera sucks for motion, but more importantly, the touch panel is so poor that i can't go a week without recalibrating it and it gets bogged down so poorly during simple usage that I just have to wait for the processor to catch up. But it is damn pretty.
Though I love the specs of the new 910, I just cant swallow another disappointment.
