You think that's bad I don't have a home!

I'm glad another company has made a 5" screen smartphone :),

I'm hoping I'm not the only one thinking it's a good size for a smartphone screen - I think LG have made one but wont' be selling in the UK :(

The phone dimensions shouldn't be like the Note :)

No, that's 4.7" screen.

1024 x 768 resolution :)

That'd be great if LG had any idea how to manage OS updates and software. Sadly, they don't, and it's likely to be a beautiful piece of hardware hampered by god awful software. Shame, I've always preferred 4:3 screen ratios, and they don't seem to be common outside of Apple devices, the now-dead Touchpad, and cheap Chinese Android tabs of dubious provenance! :o

Indeed. I was tempted by the 4x at first until I researched on their past performance in this area...
In the end opted for an SGS3.
