Moto KRZR is Copy of the KV2300 says LG

Three years later, companies are still trying to make their own RAZR knock-offs, but this time LG believes the tables have turned. LG's Lee Hyoung-kun has said that Motorola's latest KRZR K1m clamshell handset is a copy of LG's KV2300. If you see the picture, the KRZR has very similar external music keys, in addition to being around the same thinness and sporting similar features such as a 1.3 megapixel camera. But if you look at it from the normal perspective, it's only the touch-sensitive music keys that seem to have ticked off LG, even though they've mentioned that the materials used in the KRZR - magnesium, polished chrome and hardened glass - were also used in Samsung's Ultra Edition handsets.

Come on, LG, are you forgetting the LG M4410 'Car Style' mobile phone which was almost a 1:1 copy of the RAZR including the internal, flat, brushed metal keypad with demarcations? I wouldn't say that its okay to copy, but it happens. Don't go call a presscon for that.
