Even the display is at 5.3", the 16:10 aspect ratio still allows me to put the Samsung Note into the front pocket of my jeans. I respect the attempt by LG to be different, this one has low resolution (or pixel per inch) and is too big to be put into the pocket of my jeans. Bad design for mobile computing!!

I bought my jeans at Costco (USA). Galaxy Note fits in OK. I could sit in chairs and sofa. I have no doubt that the 4.7" or 4.3" phone would leave more room. But, I am pretty sure that this 4:3 LG phone won't fit into the front pocket of my jeans or else, I won't be able to drive or sit without first removing the LG from the pocket. I admired the courage of designers who chose this form-factor but I don't believe that one can carry this LG Optima Vu without either a larger-size pocket in the pant or a carrying bag. Because screen size beyond 4.7" is by default a compromise between the very portable (

You shouldn't keep your cell phone in your pants pocket anyway. It's unhealthy.

This phone actually looks great. Just not really sure how will it fit in the hand since it's very wide. But I will never by an LG phone again( i have the optimis 3d), not since the ghost call issue that this phone is suffering from ever since it was updated to gingerbread.

I have a Lg Thrill 4g and samsung galaxy s2, frankly speaking lg thrill is as powefull as gs2, but i am disappointed that still its on froyo in USA.. the performance is good.. but this upgrade is much needed, when every one talking about ICS, thrill is still on froyo ... i heard it gor updated to GB in Europe buy has ghost call issue... i love the 3d on it.. if lg makes a successful update to GB in USA, i will buy the new 3d2 also... but without upgrade.. NO... the phone has super performance and powerful specs.. and 3DDD... but froyo is letting it down

As far as I'm informed optimus 3d 2nd edition will have ICS on it, or mb GB but it will be upgraded to ICS

if nokia was like apple.. they would have sued LG because the O.VU looks like the lumia 900...

It's weird, I give you that, but I actually like it :-) A bit too big for me though, since I never carry around a satchel, manpurse or handbag. But if I did, I might have considered it :-)

Since it's weird i could see Sprint picking this up. They have a habit of picking up the odd phones in hopes of it turning out to be a huge hit.

well if you dont mind the fact that it is soo wide, it is quite good imo, because this aspect ratio is great for web browsing and for games it only sucks for movies

Why is that by the way? (the aspect ratio not being good for watching movies)
34. Guest_star posted on 19 Feb 2012, 10:32 2 0
because all modern movies are made in 16:9 and this is 4:3 so there will be some black lines around the movies when you watch it
