I have a strong affection for LG. Some of the first photos of my daughter were taken with the boxy, powerful LG VX8000, a redoubtable flip phone for Verizon. Since then, I ve always admired how LG is willing to take a chance, throw a wink, or crack a smile.
LG originally came to the fore in the US because, like Samsung, it decided to make a big bet on Qualcomm s CDMA technology. That made it a major supplier for Verizon, Sprint, and their predecessors (the likes of Alltel and Western Wireless).
CDMA created a sort of walled garden in the US and parts of Asia where different manufacturers flourished compared to the rest of the world. LG, Samsung, Sanyo, and Motorola were stronger here than they were globally; Nokia and Ericsson didn t want to play much in CDMA and thus weren t as big a deal in the US as in the rest of the world. The Chinese phone-makers who dominate global sales figures today weren t on the charts at all.
