I cant wait! This thing looks hot. How much???

I'm digging the design too. Probably shows fingerprints like my iPod does, but still a gem. Motorola better hurry up with its RAZR replacements.

Hey, where's the checkerboard keypad? And what's with the round D-pad?

On that 360' view it looked kinda thick and at $359 it better have alot of built in memory. I think I'm goin to still get a Q.

It should be priced competitively, this is a big launch for LG and it has to be able to compete with the RAZR V3m. We'll know Monday I guess :)
