Looks awesome! But as usual they shoot themselves in the foot by putting a 5MP camera at the back! I refuse to buy anything less than 8MP.

This is budget phone so expect the resolution to be disappointing.

the true HD ips display of LG straight away beats the super amoled hd display of samsung.the super amoled hd is overrated and has oversaturated colors.the image also gets blurred after zooming.see the link below:-

I think it's a mid-range.

and given the fact that it's included in L-series, this should be a budget smartphone. Consumers wouldn't be confused what to buy between this and optimus G. If they want a slightly expensive yet beastly phone, then they would go with Optimus G. L9 is just an alternative for people who can't afford the optimus G.

It's a good way to capture bigger market. It's like Galaxy S and Galaxy Ace line. Galaxy S for high-end market and Galaxy Ace for mid-range and more affordable price.

Damn, LG are out for blood this rounds. This thing looks damn sexy. Lovin the icons as well, is it a new version of their UI?
And I know people comlain about LGs desings but really THIS is THEIR design. It stared with the Prada and i'm glad that it just evolves.
