I was hoping it was Sony Ericsson. :(

Sony has gone :(, but wellcome LG, we hope new amazing things from you :P

I agree. This is actually a big oppotunity for LG to shine and create full-featured Palm OS smartphones.

Same. I guess they are sticking with Symbian OS. Bad Choice!!!!!!!! LG makes some sick camera phones anyway. If they ever use flash media, we'll have the benefit of the doubt - SD, miniSD, RSMMC :)

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!! I just didn't say anything because from all the reviews I read it didn't mention LG being top 5 so I didn't want to say it and be told I was a fool :D.

I dont care who it is, just knowing that there is a new company jumping into the game is good. Its even better that its LG.

Huh, LG. I have and LCD monitor from LG, but their phones just left me unimpresed. Hopefully that will change in the future.

I'm glad SonyEricsson isn't the licensee. Because of their ceasing of development of CDMA phones, their products are useless for Verizon and Sprint customers. LG has some great products for CDMA and GSM, hopefully they'll make some great PalmOS products for both sides.

Wish they make more palm phones then the other korean company~ samsung did.

I love GSM and hate CDMAs because if I wanted to move to a Treo right now, I could do so without the middleman T-Mobile butting in. Just buy a Treo, place SIM in device and your set.

I have a LG Sprint phone, it was the only "phone" they had with bluetooth. All the rest were smartphones. It is a well-built phone, and is stylish. I hope LG makes a cool smartphone :) .

They do, check out sprints LG MM-535. Takes mini sd. I've heard nothing but good things, except that battery life is crap. The 545 will have bluetooth and EVDO :)

Battery life on my LG isn't good from what I've seen...
