This is impractical and unimportant. It's a schtick, a useless gimmick -- something you'd expect from a struggling company like LG, probably not from Microsoft, Samsung, or Apple. I don't know why Asian tech companies with too much talent always fall into doing this. It's things like this that led to Sony's demise. Remember the Rolly?
I'm also quite incredulous that years and years of waiting for flat-screen LCDs with flat screens that were, well, flat and not curved like contemporary CRTs, people want to go back to concentrated glare points and distorted shapes and images.
I can understand a phone's display that tapers down near the edges to show people notifications more easily, but a completely curved phone? Absurd. Purely, simply, absurd. I may have bought the idea it if it were very slight like the GNex, but this level of taper makes it useless for everyday use.

- rimantas 13y agoThere are two kinds of copying. One is the lossy copying—you see someone sucessfull, you try to imitate that, but you don't undrstand which parts make the thing work so you fail. Another is the Apple's "copying"—they see the idea which does not quite work, they tear it apart, find out what needs improvement, improve and release.

- mrich 13y agoI don't see how LG is struggling, they had a dramatic rise especially in Android smartphone market share. Are you thinking of other areas?
- shrikant 13y agoSamsung has already launched a curved phone (about 4 days back I believe) called the Galaxy Round.
