A five-row keyboard! It’s about time someone made another keyboard that wasn’t lame.

The GT365 “ETNA” is not the same phone as this Etna Android. According to the User Agent Profile of LG that is: http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/LG-GT365.xml

That is weird.. I thought that the physical keys were a requirement.. At a minimum I would prefer physical keys for talk, and stop (power).. what’s the option if an app crashes terribly ?.. removing the battery ?

they say, that lg is going to adapt their s-class ui to the phone. so it is not going to be a google experience phone

Does it have a front facing camera for video calls? It looks like it.

Does Android even have support for video calls?

Hmm, possibly one of the VZ android phones?

It seems LG is frequently re-using the name “Etna”.
As you say, the KD365/KS360 was called Etna.
The GW520 was also called Etna.
The KW300 is Etna2.
Perhaps that picture is of the GW620, which will be an Android device released soon, but its currently going under the name of “Eve”.

I wonder what the hardware specs are…and whether this pic is really old, because as I see it’s not with cupcake(check out the search widget)…

We all know AT&T isn’t ever going to carry an Android phone (at least not one worth getting)…I really do hate my carrier.

Is there a possibility that this is the same phone as the LG eve that you have listed in the rumored phones section?
I am so looking forward to this device! I guess i am going to buy.

I suspect, a lot of QWERTY keyboard fans are going to be happy to see this hit the market.
