Laptop Magazine wrote a pretty nice review on the LG Vu and have given the phone a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5.
They consider it a poor mimacry to the iPhone, the touch screen interface is good and the keyboard needs some amendment, but the product is worth its price. Hence, Yes, it can be a good substitute for those who can not afford a iPhone.
Agreed, that it has features AT&T's Mobile TV and 3G data speeds, which are unavailable on iPhone, but it does not have a Wi-Fi, visual voicemail or multi-touch gestures. Neither the touchscreen nor multimedia functionality is up to the competitive level.
Look at the Pixilated video and get annoyed. Hey! I have already developed a dislike for this cell phone. I don't know why. But you can check out the post-mortem of the cell phone performed at Laptop Magazine.
