"looks like a lg chocolate copy."

Why? Cuz it's a slider and it has a round dpad? Gosh, LG should sue for design infringement...wait almost all sliders look like that, man LG is going to make a lot of money in lawsuits!

ANYWAY, cool device. Small form-factor, decent camera, wi-fi, and even a fingerprint reader. Wish it had WM6 on it and I'm not sure if it'll work in the US. Touchscreen would be nice too but can live without.

Too bad it's about as thick as a phone book.

I'd say that besides the Chocolate / basic slider-phone interface, it resembles more the design theme of the iPhone. I know, this sounds like a stretch perhaps, but bear with me. Closed, it has a basic rectangular shape, with rounded corners, a black face, and a chrome rim that slants towards the back of the phone. If you really want to push it, the circle control at the bottom is like a large home button.
