I just spoke to someone I know at LGE. This phone is currently in production right now and should hit the store sometime this year.

You might want to wait on it, the Samsung u710 just got approved by the FCC. That phone has been guarded really well and there are literally no pictures on the internet of it yet. All that is know is that it is an ultra thin flip phone. Might want to wait till you see that first.

We have the dummy phone in the stores now which typically means its only a matter of weeks before we get it online for sale and a month before the store gets it.

Any idea what the initial price will be?
