Verizon has finally and officially announced the often rumored LG Optimus Vu with 4G LTE. As you should already know this massive phablet is called the LG Intuition from Verizon and as of today it will be available starting September 6th. We saw these details last week but today Verizon has confirmed all the important bits.
The Verizon Intuition by LG will be available online starting September 6th for $200 after the usual 2-year contract signage, and then will be available nationwide in Verizon Wireless stores starting on the 10th. You won’t be able to walk in and get one quite yet, but the wait shouldn’t be long.
This device is a bit dated before it even hits the streets. Verizon doesn’t offer the Galaxy Note so this is their only plus size BBS (big beautiful smartphone) at the moment — unless they get the Galaxy Note II. Many are hoping that device comes but if not the Intuition will have to take care of your phablet needs for the time being.
This oddly sized and shaped 5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio phone still is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 8 megapixel camera so should make plenty of customers happy. It just isn’t quite up to spec compared to the Note II or popular Galaxy S III. Rumors also suggests HTC has a 5-inch 1080p smartphone headed to Verizon but for now the LG Intuition is your best bet. If you are on the fence check out a few of our hands-on below, then head to a store near you on the 10th and check it out yourself.

Any Verizon customer who locks two years with this I feel sorry for you.I say wait and let them sit on it and see this isnt what we want.
lol
If this is supposed be kind of a mid-range Note, than yeah, I can see that. But if this is Verizon’s idea of Note replacement / competitor, then this is just sickening.
It seems Verizon’s only hope of not loosing tons of customers this fall is the rumored HTC DLX device…
Or they can just carry the Note 2…
What an absolute piece of garbage. The LG phone is so badly designed that the stylus it ships with does not fit in the phone. SO you have to carry your phone and stylus separately in your pocket. The LG phone is a polished turd compared to the Galaxy Note 2. Verizon must think their customers are morons to buy this half baked POS.
