i doubt it will. Pradas never become available to purchase on US carriers.

Too bad, King. This might actually compete in our market.

I doubt any US carrier will carry it.

If it does its probably gonna be a limited edition mid range phone. It would get lost in the shuffle.

Maybe a prepaid carrier has a better shot. Like Virgin Mobile, Boost or somebody else.

Is dual core and nfc mid range already?

12. remixfa posted on 06 Nov 2011, 10:01 1 1

it could be depending on what kind of dual core it is. Ask the iphone4s with its 800mhz dual core.. laaame :)

14. KingKurogiii posted on 06 Nov 2011, 10:09 0 0

some dual-cores are and NFC isn't a big deal...yet.

We dont even know that much of the phone itself, could be a 3G phone, could pack 1.2 dual core, display looks like something from the LG G2x

I wonder what would happen if lg had stopped selling his displays\technology to apple.
But they won't because of money.
I have that feeling that lg is one of the most inconsistent company in the mobile world. They had first dual core, they had first announcement about ips 720p screen...and they are still behind competition.

7. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2011, 07:19 2 0

yeah coz they r more interested in makin money frm apple

10. snowgator posted on 06 Nov 2011, 08:55 0 0

They do seem like they want to stay on Apples good side.It is like they are waiting for Samsung and Apple to fall completely apart, and than they can swoop in and replace them as Apple's main supplier.

13. remixfa posted on 06 Nov 2011, 10:02 0 1

LG doesnt make the chips that samsung does. the only area they compete in that I know of is in displays, and samsung wont share their displays with apple.

Back in October, the LG-LS831 got through the FCC as a CDMA Windows Phone. Still not seeing that bad boy making it to shelves anywhere, either. Puts a lot of credibility into the arguments the K2 will never see the light of day here in the US.

I really am confused at the idea of having a phone jump through the hoops to get a release, than not release it. What is the point? It's not like LG doesn't know what it takes to get approved here, they do not need the practice. Seems stupid.

11. squallz506 posted on 06 Nov 2011, 09:21 0 0

LG wants their phones to be global. To operate in the us it needs to pass FCC specifications. Just passing through the FCC doesn't mean its going to be sold by carriers it just means that the phone meets the FCC standards.

Geez ..... I never thought of the world phone requirements. Kinda common sense. I am putting myself into the "Mobile dumb question" corner.

Thanks squallz.

Though a US carrier may not have it, Amazon .com will.

Yeah every phone needs to pass FCC to be usable for anything.
