LG Incite release imminent on AT&T

LG and AT&T have done a pretty commendable job of keeping leaks about their glossy new WinMo set to a bare minimum, but you can only keep a phone this ritzy under wraps for so long, right? Word on the street is that AT&T stores will be ordering the LG Incite as of this Thursday, filling a gap in the lineup between the Vu and the Eternity -- full touchscreen dumbphones -- and the Fuze, the hot new QWERTY smartphone of the range. If the rumored specs hold up, we're looking at a WQVGA display, 3-megapixel cam, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Any would-be Fuze buyers second-guessing themselves now?

[Thanks, Kal]

This would be Fuze buyer is holding out to see what's next. It looks like it's in fact the incite(was hoping for the Omnia). I've still got to see the Incite live though, not too thirlled about the phone in the photo...too much metal not enough screen. What is that a 2.5" screen? if it's anywhere from 2.8" to 3.5" this phone must be huge.

Here's one Fuze buyer who is still pumped about his Fuze and still disgusted by the amount of bezel on the Incite... and (as David mentioned) still wondering just how huge this thing is!

looks like the verizon dare with a smaller screen. or more hardware space outside the screen.

Ugh. The bezel literally repulses me. Wtf is wrong with the manufacturers/designers?! Don't they see the flashing sign that says: "More Screen Real Estate FTW!!!"

I don't quite understand this phone. Have we confirmed this is indeed the Incite, Chris?

It looks uglier than it's predecessor, the LG KS20 [I have one and love it], which is a really stylish handset. This thing looks... clunky :(

No wonder why T-Mobile can't get a new friggin WinMo phone; AT&T's got them all! AT&T will now cover the three main form factors for WM Pro devices: Touchscreen only with the Incite, touchscreen with QWERTY slider with the Fuze and touchscreen with QWERTY bar with the Epix.

Eh. It looks like a 2.8 inch screen, but theres a LOT of empty space on this phone. Kinda like the Epix. Decent looking shortcuts but I dont look forward to pushing that start button

It is a 3in display!

That phone looks pretty fugly. I agree with the others ... too much metal on it. It looks like a very bad imitation of the Omnia.

I'm holding out for Black Friday to upgrade ... hoping for a better deal like last year. Leaning toward the Fuze but the Epix isn't ruled out. This thing would have to be stellar for me to buy it.

And if it has a 3" screen ... it's gonna be huge.
