    Well lets look at how long that black bar is for the network name. AT&T doesn't take up that much space, however T-Mobile does. Verizon is also a possibility That being said, T-Mobile is too busy trying to sell everyone the MyTouch to launch a new android line. So I'm going to say its going to be one of Verizon's first android phones, taking the "with google" branding, so no sense UI, just standard Android.

    EDIT: And then I saw the 3G logo. So there you go folks, T-Mobile or AT&T. As an aside, "Android" fits in that black space as well, and that's likely what is there and the tipster is just playing games with us. The only other possibility for carrier titles is T-Mobile, but again, I'm none to sure they really want to release another android phone what with them trying to sell everyone the MyTouch and trying to fan the flames for the Cliq's eventual arrival.

    So Final Judgment, I'm going to say this is for AT&T.

    The blacked out text - if you decide to go to the blog obnoxiously watermarked - is actually an identification number that can be tracked back to who holds that very phone.

    I.E. "Welcome to 31337-32". Then HTC/whoever could look up who has phone 31337-32 and then drop the lawsuit-bomb on them. #android

    @dragon: ONE: I'm sorry to hear that, man. But there are plenty of 'droids in the sea. Proverbially of course. I really don't want Androids in the sea. I think they would get angry.

    And if (when) she comes back to you, take her to a good movie. But ask her what she thinks of them first. I hear she gives pretty accurate reviews. #android

    Fine lines: LG would also want for the specific costumers to sign this contract stating that if the costumer's head either:
    1. Explodes
    2. Grows a huge tumor
    3. Rot
    4. Deforms itself
    In the following 5 to 10 years, LG will be completely free of responsibility.

    I abused my daddy's nut factory to find the correct LG. He has a lot of employees that opened up boxes for me, to find the LG Chocolate with the right serial number.

    Those are the ones made from Uranium-239. Don't ask where LG got the uranium or why they made phones out of it, just be happy that the U-239 has been found.

    The pic above is one from the British site, if you go to [www.lgmobile.com] the US one pops up and it mentions them being "desperate" to recover the special phones. I feel like this is from an episode of "Chuck."

    I don't know about you, but knowing that a particular phone might come with a lottery ticket is the reason i chose one phone over another.

    I'm a gum chewer normally, but when I heard about these ticket things of LG's I laid off the gum and switched to Chocolate. Now, of course, I'm right back on gum.

    I think the LED in the headlights is sort of cheezy. I think that every time I see an Audi with the "eyebrows." Looks like Christmas lights. I think this look is going to feel very dated in a couple of years.

    @Uncletwitch: A car like this tells most women you have more money than sense or you are in a serious midlife crisis. Major red flags for me either way.
