LG Optimus Vu to bow on Verizon as the Intuition, stylus not included?

[![LG Optimus Vu to bow on Verizon as the Intuition, stylus not included][1] ][2]

Could this 5-inch LG handset be [Verizon's answer to the Galaxy Note][3]? Our _Intuition_ tells us otherwise (get it?), but that screenshot above and [corresponding FCC docs][4] deign to differ. Really though, that lady razor name's the purported new moniker for Big Red's rebranded [Optimus Vu][5]: the heretofore Korea-only phablet we recently reviewed. While we found the outsized handset's worth as a true S-Pen rival hampered by its lack of a digitizer and 4:3 aspect ratio, it could catch on with folks eager for a 7-inch tablet alternative. However this one eventually shakes down in the crowded Android marketplace, it appears subs are in store for a 4G LTE ride and the carrier's typical $199 on two-year contract pricing. Curiously, the leak makes no mention of an included stylus, so perhaps the operator's opting to spin this one as a more traditional smartphone release. Smart move, that.
