LG Electronics posts disappointing quarterly results: handset loss grows bigger

I think the Thrill is a great handset. LG can still do a good job when it so desires. I am waiting to see where the LG Fantasy, a CDMA Windows Phone, ends up. Verizon and it's 100 million strong subscriber base without a viable Mango option would be a great oportunity for LG to get a hit. I am sure Sprint users would welcome the choice as well, but it has a smaller base and the excitement of the iPhone 4 and 4S which is new to them.

The Optimus LTE sure sounds like a contender. But as far as their Android offerings go, do they try a UI to set themselves apart, or just use vanilla Android?

And these geniuses release a Froyo LTE phone after Gingerbread has been out for months and wonder why no one wants to buy their phone.

Typically LG is good on Verizon and sucky with AT&T - the LG thrill, as I have been told, is a good phone - 50.00 deductible for insurance and dual core. But, they always seem to release inferior product to the Big 3 makers of Android - not sure why.

LG Double Play is an example of why they're losing. Only a low grade carrier like Tmo would sell crap like this.

Even though they have really been slacking lately, I'm not worried about them as much as I am Nokia or Sony Ericcson. Or even Blackberry! Wait now that I think about it, it seems like only Apple, Samsung, and HTC are actually doing well now.

To the the masses, Apple=god and Htc/samsung=higher specs, nothing more.

Seems like LG has been overshadowed by Samsung for the longest time. They'll need to release a top notch android handset in order to catch up. I haven't been an LG fan, but we'll see if that changes sometime.
