Still having mine Vu2 (F200L), boot it up sometimes and it's really a good screen ratio to read and browse. With 2G ram it's one of the best Sanpdragon S4 plus device IMO, stuck in 4.4.2 is the only down side I can think of. I'm interested in getting one Vu 3, too bad they just put the same 2G ram instead of 3G.

I know it's been years, but I just found this video and have to comment. I got my Intuition Way Back When and absolutely LOVE it, for the very reason that you mention first: its unusual SHAPE. That 4:3 shape means it has a big screen, but it is able to fit in the pocket of a work shirt (like a Dickies) with the flap closed and buttoned. That means the phone is SECURE, it means I can HEAR and FEEL when it rings and vibrates, and I'm never going to sit on it! I lived at that time on a sailboat, and can you understand how perfect it is to have a phone with the biggest possible screen that fits in a shirt pocket? I've lived in Mexico since 2014, and my Verizon CDMA version doesn't work here. But it has continued to have a life as a wifi-connected phablet, and it is going to be our primary device on a trip around Europe for maps and audio walking tours of cities and museums. All because of that Big, Funny-shaped Screen! Now if only the battery life was better. But it is WAY improved by keeping the device in Airplane mode all the time. So, go LG! If I could find another phone this shape I'd buy it in a heartbeat; you can have my piece-of-sh** iPhone anytime.

You see, I came here because I love Kdrama. And if you're thinking "what does it have to do with this phone ?" In the recently 2016 drama called "Cheese in the trap" there's a girl, name "Hong Seol" who uses this square LG phone. So I was thinking maybe it's sponsored ?? Or maybe not. What makes me think is her phone is LG in that drama, and usually they put a tape to cover the logo to symbolizes that that it's not sponsored. But in that drama her phone was not taped. And another weird thing is, she is the only one who uses that phone. Others, uses Samsung (so as me :) )

Actually this isn't the first time LG released a bloatware update that almost renders a phone useless. My Dad's Verizon LG Revolution had the exact same problems the Intuition had and the 1 software update it got made the phone laggy, annoying, broke the camera, calander, photos, made the phone make random calls and now the phone is still up to it's annoying stuff and almost preventing me from rooting it and installing a ROM. Good job LG. (I do like the new ones such as the G3 though ;)

I liked the 4:3. i would get an updated version if they offered it. i agree just wasnt promoted right.

The lack of silo for the stylus is the exact same thing they did with the LG Viewty many years ago, yet people loved that phone for some strange reason, probably because it was the heady time when touchscreen meant cool (back when the first iPhone was new and it couldn't run native apps, just chuck in a Java virtual machine and presto! el cheapo iPhone beater!)

I like the LG vu, surely my next purchase. For the form factor primarily. To carry it there are several cases with holster, but I would carry it in a "diary" kind of case, where you can put the pencil in it if possible, there are several choices on the net for sale. I have my kindle in a small camera-like bag that I bring everywhere. Surely it won't fit in your pocket but never carried a phone in my pocket.
