LG GW990 - User Reviews

  • Ah, too bad it was cancelled. It was the perfect size.. and the display looks amazing. The specs however, I would say the LG Arena packs better internal specs.. a 2015 version of this would be amazing!

  • Iphone 6:))

  • I love it, i love long display, nice for reading doc. please don't canceled.....

  • 4.8inch is too big, 480x1024 display resolution? wow

  • It's a shame...

  • no cancell

  • I really wish that this wasn't cancelled. This would have been a great device.

  • actually this should be the greatest phone for LG . so please don't cancel this product. i would to buy it too .. i'm fans on all of LG products, from smartphone, fridge, air con ,notebook ..

  • Oh, this phone got cancelled? Too bad... It reminds me of the new chocolate... haha Im sure it would be a big hit if it was a smartphone

  • Im also sad it go cancelled. But Im not sure it will last forever, I could see LG making a new version, just updating it, with HDMI, 720p recording, and to fit the MeeGo-system, a USB-host port. then we could really have something. The Dell Streak simply is just a bit clumpsy, this was pushing the limit for something that you can hold to your ear. but on the other hand, with bluetooth, you dont really have to. But still, I hope this makes a comeback, with better spec's.

  • Yes, I agree. Why cancel this phone. I wanted to buy it, but now, I guess I have to buy the Iphone4 and Steve Jobs will be a richer man again. Damn.

  • Most probably it has been cancelled because of the deal between Intel and Nokia of mergining their two OSs (Maemo + Moblin the orginal OS of this phone) to MeeGo. Which I guess desn't like LG or Nokia pushed Intel to cancel it to Not burn their new OS

  • OMG why is it canceled? I really liked this phone! Even though its huge, I DON'T CARE! Why oh why LG~ I guess Korea thought this phone is so damn huge that not a lot of people would buy it cause nowadays people tend to go for the small phones right? But still, LG should at least give this phone a chance.

  • i always support Lg why cancel this phone am so sad because i want to buy it

  • heart broken :( soo set on getting this

  • why why this phone is canxled whyyyy dis phone was amazing

  • larger than psp

  • Too bad this fone waz cancelled.

  • it would be a groundbreaking. nothing compare.....

  • i dont like it at all

  • a very large display for a phone i think. a screen as wide as the screen of psp.

  • GSMArena, you can delete this entry. LG seems to have dropped it saying it was just a concept and that it will not be released.

  • This phone is perfect for me. the big screen makes its easy 2 read a book or surf net. I hope the feedback from users will encourage me 2 buy one.

  • how do you know that this device is cancelled?

  • I have just heard that lg will not make this phone head to engadget for more details

  • this device cancelled

  • Hello people from all over the world, i would like to know how much does this gaintic phone cost at different countries. Thanks. Can't wait for it to be published!^^

  • I think this might be perfect as a ereader phone hybrid. Just needs a smartcarry or internal waistband concealed weapon holster and your good to go

  • this is the best..speciaLLy for us who as big hands and fingers.. ;D

  • Considering the given specs, this is more like a phone/UMPC/iTablet (Atom CPU and higly unusual screen rez for a smartphone). Interesting concept, though I'm not really sure it won't end up like some HTC trials on this sort of solution (XT7500 Advantage and Shift, both excellent but with too narrow market niche because of pricing to really succeed). Anyway, 147grs is the same weight as HD2, right? I've had a TyTN, it weighed 176grs and couldn't do a quarter of what this can potencially achieve. Again, I don't really know the OS and am speaking solely based on the given specs. Besides, there's the LG brand issue...

  • 5MP AF good, 4.8" screen is just insane but 146.8mm height?! is this a joke?!

  • the phone is awesome ,even any sees it like the phone to but but the price of the phone is bit high .talking about the resolution of the phone its amazinging awesome and the features of the phone looks goood and well enough to attract any body.,.goood lg keeep it up

  • Love this phone but it's pretty expensive here in the Philippines

  • i don't like this phone because screen not proposional

  • best lg ever !!!

  • AYE I'm a basketball player. DOn't tease us!!!!! Just cause we have big hands doesn't mean this phone is good for us!!!!! Tease us one more tyme ur gunna get hurt. GOT THAT !!!!!! Mother F-word

  • This fone is really awesome .. waiting for its release . i like big cell fone like e90. it has divx support . watching movies ill b fun . very nice spec just waiting for its launch in pakistan.

  • I love big phone!

  • this monster is for men only:) now i dont need to carry my laptop any more:) way to go LG

  • I have deep pockets, finally a good sized phone, and what a gorgeous resolution! Can't wait.

  • Oh my god. 14.2 x 6.4 cm? I hope your not serious. That is WAY TOOO BIG. I brought the BL40 and i think thats big... But phone is even larger? No This is getting ridiculous now.

  • How i love LG, maybe i won't buy lg x120 if i can have this phone, go lg keep doing a good work !

  • ************************************ looks good. But is LG still giving PROPRIETARY headphone jack & Usb jack? then very bad!, entire world has changed but LG still not??!!! is TV out option there? ************************************ oh ya? if you can't agree on what LG had given, then why still do you come on the LG's..? :D :D :D

  • thats just mad look at the size of it phones are geting mader

  • large screen ,very nice to watch movies on it!!!!!!

  • looks good. But is LG still giving PROPRIETARY headphone jack & Usb jack? then very bad!, entire world has changed but LG still not??!!! is TV out option there?

  • that one huge PHONE!

  • Does not this phone run the same os as n900? Only MeeGo is its new name? all i can think of is multi tasking with that cpu wow...

  • It's amazing,When I said the Clock of this phone processor to my master,He mixed up! He's a trianer of Storing & Recovering of Information He said how does the manufacturer make this Processor? Because he said when the Clock of processor works it produces heat!he said it must includes a fan and other cooling devices And a big problem of this phone is that its display is very huge As a matter of fact it's not a Display,It's a Monitor

  • atom processor .... wow .... maybe someone will install windows xp on it

  • i think this phone was designed for professional basketball players cos they´ve got huge hands so the phone will look normal to them...

  • Haha, I think us guys need to invest a man's purse to carry this phone .. honest i would LOL if i saw someone talking with this phone

  • yes, now let's also give it an i7 processor with an ati radeon 5860 hd graphics card with 16 gigs of ram and a 500 gig harddrive

  • especially the 8-12mp it would not even make sense for the phone to not have the specs you just listed.

  • This phone needs a 8.0-12.1 MP camera Schneider-Kreuznach optics,(or Carl Zess, autofocus with 3x optical zoom, with XENON Flash. With 720p-1080p recording, 16Gb internal memory, And atleast 1.0GHz processor.DivX/XviD/MP4 player capability I love LG, but the above specification would be just awesome for my dream phone. I would love to have a hybrid of GW990 and my LG Renoir.

  • large screen nice one..!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Excellent...nice...i hope with a keyboard. ..

  • First, the new pineview does not even use half the amount of Wattage compared to the most efficient nettops out there, and less than a quarter than most of them. Second, the display is about only a quarter of the nettops size, which also reduces energy-usage significantly. Then add that the display will be off most of the time, and standby time can be quite decent. Likely you will have to charge is reasonably often, but that's the choice you make. I'd guess it still can have a talk-time or internetuse of several hours.

  • what is this a tv phone you need a suitcase to carry it rubbish

  • a new world record

  • The battery life will be really bad! think how mad you netbooks battery is, then add 3G to that and make the battery smaller! Also it has got no place in the market, to big for a phone to small for a good experiance as a tablet. If you want a phone stick to N900, iPhone or blackberry. if you want a tablet wait for HP slate or iPad. Sorry LG but lifes not good!

  • hahaha

  • Ya this big baby has Intel Atom N450, 1.66 Ghz!!! 1.66 Ghz! On a mobile phone!!!!!

  • lol,hu would 1 a handfone wif such a big screen?u need 2 hands 2 hold it properly.XD 4.8" screen?lol,2 big,4.3" is much more better.i'd rather go for motorola shadow/mirage or google nexus 2 as they call

  • I guess this is Intel Atom Pineview otherwise known as Intel Atom N450, 1.66 Ghz

  • Smaller than my Motorola A925, and that one I carried around, and used... The A925 was big even for its time... This is just so much cooler, and better and more up to date. Now we have Bluetooth stereo, and this play back all kind of videos and does proper web-browsing. I either go for something like this, or go for the X10 mini and get a cool tablet.

  • in the future LG will make spageti cellphone!

  • I think this is the best product ever released by LG. No Ipad needed. business will be easier to run. I just hope the battery life is better than its previous phones. Its a hole different market. PDA/Phone/internet on a good sized screen. I am impressed sooooo far

  • LG...this is madness...having a phone so big is pointless...I will need new and bigger pockets to fit it in...or maybe a separate suitcase...or a VAULT...cos it aint gonna be cheap!!!

  • the specification its not that great..but the os n cpu is crazy dude!! it will be the fastest phone ever!! i think?

  • Come on LG! What are you selling here? A widescreen TV or a cellphone?

  • .does any1 know what the processing power is? i assume more than the snapdragon? but is it more than the new ones?

  • this is unique phone its operating system is vry high class its user interface is to good almost its rocking....

  • im really confuse with their handphone naming/model.. or what ever.. so difficult to differentiate what with what..G what? what GW? GD? GF? GL? GS? GT? G? .. and huh? K? KU KM? KT KC? come on!.. dammit..

  • The phone is very long i believe

  • I really want this lg. that's so wonderfull . i hope to see LG WG990 in iran shopping soon . these are many people that they fallow mobile news but unfortunatly we dont have original and reliable branch of any cell company . whoever i like to buy gw 990 . it has nice view and good apps.

  • LG Mini is awesome. but this LG Biggie sucks bad.

  • It's perfect! Big screen with just 12mm thin. Poor Sony Vaio and Fujitsu with their too expensive but lack phone feature UMPCs. Bravo LG Mobile.
