This phone will fail.
1. LG phone. LG smart phone sales have been really poor on Verizon. They hardly market them.
2. It is going to Verizon… Means it has been altered from its original release to be underwhelming and heavily laden with crap ware.
3. Knowing Verizon… it will have Android 2.3
4. Verizon will allow you to pay a premium price for their watered down mid range version + plan upgrade to crappy plans, and 30$ loyal customer fee.

They are basically the same phone if you use a ROM, but the main advantage is the non pentile IPS 2 HD screen. I’m certain that it will look much better. I would go for the GS3 as far as build quality though.

Since LG is a sister company of Samsung, this is a SGS3 wearing a different jacket.

Anyone else totally digging that Neutral UI color scheme? I love it.

I thought moto devices were banned from entering the country because of another company?

I’ve had no issues with my Revolution, I’d consider this depending on how it feels in the hand.

They could’ve also made all the bezel smaller to fit a bigger screen as well….the top bezel has a lot of wasted room….that could’ve been used for the screen…and with on-screen buttons the bottom bezel could’ve been made smaller as well..

The phone has specs almost on par with the S III, but LG will slap an IPS display on it. I have a spectrum now and it’s been a great phone so far. The LG UI is awful but got a launcher on it and it’s be good to go. I will be interested to see what the final device will look like. The only thing is more phones need to come out with a more stock look like Moto is doing with the new blur. But, very interested to see what comes out of it

I think they are slow playing the Razr HD to launch a month or two before the iPhone 5. They way that Verizon is able to push Razrs has got to have Moto wanting to undermine the iPhone release. Also, they want all of the SGSIII, DInc 4G and Family Plan dust to settle.

Isnt it funny how verizons “Flag Ship” feature phone back in the day was the LG Voyager. Now they are the more the lower end of smartphones.

Who ever is incorporating on screen buttons is my friend… also helps to have a large dev community and that’s hard to do with so little know about the phone, going to hold off on judgement until I see what type of support it gets.

Yeah, it makes you wonder if VZW will push back the release of the Incredible 4G because of this. =

While I do think the S3 looks pretty bland…this design pictured above also looks squarishly bland. The whole squarish and edgy feeling didn’t bode well for me with the Razr so I stayed clear.

$100 cheaper would be pretty compelling.
