LG says Motorola cloned phone
p2pnet.net News:- LG Electronics says Motorola copied its KV2300 cell phone to, “create its latest model, dubbed the KRZR K1m,” according to The Korea Times.
“Our KV2300 is a flat, rectangular flip phone with high-gloss black finish, and the KRZR K1m is also a flat, rectangular flip phone with high-gloss black finish,” the story has LG spokesman Lee Hyoung-kun saying.
“Both are equipped with 1.3-megapixel cameras and touch control keys in their fronts with strikingly similar arrangements. In addition, their dimensions are almost identical,” Lee said, also declaring, “we recognized that the KRZR has adopted the concepts of our recent products that started with the Chocolate phone – simple clamshell models armed with touch-sensitive keys”.
But is LG angry? Perish the thought.
“We don’t think Motorola intentionally imitated the look of the KV2300,” says Lee, “But we are very flattered that a company of such caliber followed our design policy.”
