This doesn't seem that revolutionary. At least not when you look at the RAZR and Chocolate. It is a slider, made of metal. The only real difference I see between this and the chocolate is the material.

Features are a moot point because they can change before the phone gets here.

I think it will sell well, but I don't think it will be as impacting as other phones.

I disagree. It's not often you get a "metallic" phone and definitly not the "mirror lcd". As long as the features stay through to US deployment, the phone will hit better than Chocolate because...they learned to have the speakerphone feature enabled first and not bet on bluetooth sales.(mind you thats predicting it's vzw bound, lg's seemingly favorite target as of late for 'cool' phones). It will definitly sell well because 1. it's thin, 2. it's "cute" 3. it does a lot and 4. It's LG. it's the next "chocolate push" besides the chocolate flip that's incoming. But as the wireless market has proven...people will buy anything (i give you the pantech 215)

i agree about the fact that it will sell well, but I don't see the kind of design innovation in this one that we have elsewhere. The biggest features that make this unique are the scroll bar and the metal construction. Everything else has already been done in the chocolate. So while the Chocolate and Razr were arguably completely new designs that have/are inducing a paradigm shift in the wireless industry, this is basically...
