BTW, I just noticed something very important about the LG Optimus 3D. The interaxial distance!
This should be 7cm (or 70mm) as an average human eye distance, for a pleasurable 3D experience (on your 3D TV). But since camera optics are usually more "zoomed out" than a human eye, it actually needs to be wider (eg why Hollywood uses 10cm and up camera sets). About 80 or 85mm would be ideal. Since none of these phones have optical zoom (digital zoom is honestly crap), this distance is that much more important.
Judging by the pictures the distance on the LG seems to be roughly 25mm. So any 3D video shot without zoom (which is 99% of the time) is going to look only 30% like 3D ... the objects will not be so distinguished! The experience will not be so defined (just like those post-processed 3D movies like Clash of the Tits), you would walk away wishing you just saw it in high-quality 2D. So having a 3D camcorder on the LG is pretty much useless, the GS2's camera is actually better (better quality 2D wasting less memory space). This really takes away aot of appeal from the LG.
Even at CES this year on one of the video, the LG guy hinted that you have to move the phone away from your face to notice the 3D effect. To me 3D on a phone is NOT there yet. Even today i was at best buy and they had a 3D laptop there with the eye glass and i could barely make out the 3D. Maybe in about a year we will be there and all these phones we are buying today will be so old school
