There isn't a problem for those that want these phones. The Katana 2, Sync, and Chocolate are phones that have been made. Who wants to pay for a phone. I'm pretty everyone would like a free phone and service. Hail Mary, I think not. It's marketing and...

LG will be an entry level slider, w/ full QWERTY aimed at younger crowd. Should have a nice price point.
