If Pawi had had proof of your saying that, he would have bookmarked the thread and kept the link as a valuable treasure, so as to be able to present it when convenient. I do, however, also want to show to the Gyopos (<code>oops, someone will regard my using the term as offensive, as it can only be used legitimately by ethnic Koreans, or so I have been told in another thread of this blog</code>) that we do not tolerate ethnic slurs on either side, if indeed any such slurs have been uttered.

He is one of those archetypal Kyopo that seem determined to reinforce stereotypes (jealous of white men dating Korean women, blindly nationalistic for Korea, but not the country they live in, saying they are proud to be American as if it is a weapon, ect).

If the only copying is in the design of the phone, I don't think LG would have much of a case, even if they did have a patent in that. After all, PDAs have been using pretty much the same type of design for years -- it's quite literally nothing new.
