LG-KU990, LG Viewty Mobile released October 2007 in development since 2006

Apple iPhone announced January 9, 2007, released for sale June 29, 2007. In development since 2004. So the LG-KU990 also known as the LG-CU990 Viewty was released five months after the iPhone was released for sale and ten months after the iPhone was announced and demonstrated. FAIL!

Spec sheet from LG on the KU915 VU, shows it was released "2008, March. Released 2008". BZZT. Sorry. Not true FAIL again.

Did you think I wouldn't check? LG's development time is about three to five months. . . not over a year.

I also checked on the HTC P3450 or its codename the HTC Elf was released for the first time in London on June 7, 2007, six months after the Apple iPhone was shown at the MacWorld on January 9, 2007.

Again, did you really think you were going to get away with these ringers?

I already knew these posted dated the Apple iPhone because I paid attention during the period. . . but I checked to get the exact dates. Good thing you are a fireman. . . Your arguments and evidence keeps getting shot down in flames.
