Verizon closer to releasing LG Optimus Vu


A couple months ago we managed to get our hands on an LG Optimus Vu device at CTIA. The Optimus Vu is one of those devices falling in between a phone and a tablet. With a 5” screen, the Optimus Vu seems destined to be Verizon’s answer to the Samsung Galaxy Note. Follow the source links after the break for images of the Optimus Vu sporting Verizon 4g LTE branding.
The specs for the device do not seem to be too bad on the surface:

5 inch (1024 x 768) IPS LCD display, 4:3 aspect ratio
1.5GHz dual-core processor
32GB internal memory
2,080 mAh battery
8 MP rear camera
8.5mm thick

stylus
Unfortunately, the translation to a useable device is a challenge. The shape, with the 4:3 aspect  ratio, does not lend itself well to a device that will fit in a pocket or be easy to use with two hands. One bright spot is that the Optimus Vu will ship with Ice Cream Sandwich making it unique amongst LG devices in any market outside of Korea.
Does Verizon even stand a chance with the LG Optimus Vu?
