The top of the flip is black anodized aluminum and painted gloss black metal (I think). The 4 way directional pad is metal, and the area around the keys is metal but the keys are black and they are actual buttons. |

So bthe successors of the ZX-10 and CU320 would both have HSDPA, not just the ZX-20, right? |

It seems to me that most of the phones I see are not set up for real web browsing (like my Treo 650) even when they do have nice screens that seem like they would be capable of browsing. What would you do with all the speed of an HSDPA device?

If not, This may be coming to the US. We can only hope that Cingular will pick this one up. http://www.infosyncworld.com/eu/mob...e/lg_u8500.html http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/...ming-to-the-us/ |

In case you (or anyone) were wondering, It is a 2.0 inch QVGA screen that is 320 x 240 pixels. So it's not a "small screen" per say. As for your comments on the "bump". The antenna has to go somewhere, it can't just "disappear". The RAZR, they decided to to make the phone asymmetrical by putting the antenna on the bottom of the phone, and not moveable, hence the bottom of the phone is larger than the top. The LG phone makes the phone look more uniform, but putting the antenna on the top portion of the phone. And it is thinner than the RAZR in width (but slightly thicker in thickness) , and I find thinner to be more important than antenna placement. |
