We can tell that LG is finally headed in the right direction. LG Vortex which looks to be a sollid device, gives you Android 2.2, 800mhz, 3.2mp camera, swype and all the other goodies. The extra 200mhz gives you a better performance speed and also better touch screen feel than their previous Ally model.
The Cosmos Touch on the other hand is offered in feature phone category. The slide qwerty keyboard buttons are a lot bigger and nicer in quality than previous Cosmos. The 1.8mp camera is worse than Octane(3.2mp), but who cares about the camera nowdays.
In addition, one more touch screen device to feature phone line up is what LG really needed to do to step up from their competitors. As far as their battery life? Hopefully not so horrible.
