Hi, has anybody read something about LG G8000, showed at SMAU in Italy?
It has a TFD 65535 colour display; which is the difference with a TFT (eg the one of panasonic gd87)?
Bie and thanks!

i still like gd87 way better... this looks cheap and lg is like a cheap ass korean manufacturer... i don't trust them... panasonic is japanese.. anyway, don't want to wait, gd87 there i go...
but the hottest phone right now (actually had an eye on it for a while now, just not enough info on the web) is this one... just read the specs... wonder how much...

I wonder which is bigger, the GD88 or the LG 8000.

I cant decide between the two phones. I want a phone with Java and LG one has it. I guess I would have to see other aspects.
Cant find much info on LG8000, dont know if it is triband, how much memory it has,e tc.

I know GD only has 1 MB i think or less without an explansion slot. The LG can record and playback videos, i believe the Panasonic one cant do it.

oh crappppppppppppppppp

I am so pissed off

Why didnt they make this triband

Well that certainly is eliminated now on my list...

Would have been a better choice over Panasonic IMO. With larger memory and can even record and playback videos.

It just doesnt make any sense why they only made it dual band

thanks mylondon, however, if u are certain it is only gonna be dual band, then I will not be interested anymore. I only look after those triband phones.

Thanks
