I know. I saw that. I should have provided more detail when I said to thejonnotjohn to look at verizon.com. It seems the name has changed. Marketing reasons? The "V" means something to someone.

My only thought... and im reaching here, maybe the way it looks when it is open... a (V)
...
I thought about that too, BUT, that would be the same for all clamshell phones.

Per Jim Grothjan, senior sales manager for LG the name change came at the request of Verizon. It is nothing more than a marketing strategy, a number of customers would see the phones advertise on television and could not remember the specific model number of the phone when they would visits the stores or call customer care. They are hoping it will be easier to remember a name rather than a number, for example the Verizon V, the Migo, or even the Motorola Razor. Hope this helps!

Yes I just heard about this as well. Went to the website and it is defintely called the V. LG has just changed it to V for marketing reasons.
