LG Optimus Black vs. iPhone 4, others in stop-motion video

I've never been a big fan of the company's phones, but LG sure makes some great videos. Its latest is the Smartphone Championship Race, a stop-motion NASCAR-inspired film that pits the LG Optimus Black against the iPhone, Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc and Samsung's Galaxy S. The competitors' phones are called other names so that LG doesn't get sued (the iPhone 4 is called "Waffle's Ivan").
As the phones race around the track, the competitors are eliminated one-by-one because of the phones' flaws. One is eliminated when it crashes because it can't clear a 9.3 mm entrance. The iPhone 4 is the last one to be eliminated; it doesn't finish the race because its weight keeps it from making it to the other side when it jumps from a ramp. The video is pretty clever, and hey, if you can't make the best phone in the world, at least you can make some cool stop-motion action.

Is it just me who thinks a bit of weight is actually a good thing in a smartphone? Makes it feel like better quality, I think.
However, having tested the Black, I must say that the phone is actually not that bad - and LG is becoming one of the serious competitors in the smartphone market. Having also tested the Samsung Galaxy S 2, I have to admit that Apple really needs to keep momentum if it wants to stay ahead of the pack. So, I'm crossing my fingers for the keynote on monday being as good as we all think it'll be...
Weight? A difference of about 30 grams? Seriously? This is supposed to set it apart?
See this is why other phone makers don't get it. Most advertisers try camp and clever ways to make their product seem cool without really addressing the most important points. They are stuck on providing specs. It's not about specs, it's about the experience. I know nothing about what this phone does, just that it claims to be lighter and thinner that others, and yet that's not what most people are judging phones on. Does it work, is it reliable, and what does it offer me?
Then again, the very bottom of the market cares about things like this, mostly because they don't know anything about having an experience with a phone, they just show up and get the cheapest phone for the money they are willing to pay, but even though it's cute animation, it's not going to do anything to dent the market for android or iOS.
I like the overall message: "Only in a make believe world, such as one where gravity isn't constant, could the LG phone be considered better than the iPhone."
