What are those colorful lines?
If you look at the themes you will notice the different icons at the top of the phone. Most of them seem normal but there was one icon on all the themes that I have never seen before. It's an arrow pointing down with colorful lines behind it. It seems to me like it's some sort of downloading app. or maybe it's just a new Get It Now Icon. :/ Does anyone know?

Dr.
I just got the enV as it was free. I hope the new 9100 will be MUCH thinner and lighter. The buttons are easily pushed when it's in my pocket which is not a good thing! The front buttons are also hard to push correctly i.e. when I try to push the down button I will accidentally push clear as well. They have a lot of work to do.

You can turn on your keyguard for the keypad in settings & tools. No more pocket dialing.
Hit the keys with fingernail instead of the finger....it works.

Yeah, but its a pointless and poorly designed key guard because all you need to do to unlock it is press "OK". If you own this phone you know that just by mashing the front keys it will eventually unlock.

The best solution is to just put on a 4 character password. That sucks though we shouldn't have to do that. This could be fixed with a simple software update too...

This will sell vx9100
This will be a very popular phone. Any phone that has a qwerty keyboard will sell and for people who cant afford the voyager this will be a good secondary option.

New EnV and Chocoalte out April
Via a meeting with LG these 2 phones will be out in April or May. They are replacing both the EnV9900 and the Chocolate8550.

The Venus and Voyager will actually be revisited in the 4th quarter with new releases of both phones before either thanksgiving or christmas.

The Prada will also be released in the 4th quarter although the name will be changed to something else. That is the line up for the rest of the year for LG at least on the verizon side according to them.

I noticed the get it now icon too. It's different, I wonder if get it now is getting a redesign?? I think the vx9100 is extremely "sexy." I love the look of it, If I have the money I will def put it down to get it. IMO it's def. better looking than the env and voyager.

The Razr2 also has HTML browsing and it's not a smartphone.

The Razr2 V9m that is sold by Verizon does not have an HTML browser. I think its only the GSM V8 version that has the HTML.

Let me call a waaambulance
It's obvious that steviecrackberry has the hots for ATT;that's ok-not everybody really deserves to be a VZW customer.The Ads say it best-the best phones get even better on th Nation's Best Most Reliable Wireless Network. WHO CARES how cool (can you hear Beavis?) your phones 'look' if they are relying on inferior and outdated networks?Apple iPhone is a great example-cool device that was released in 2007(not 1997) and it wasn't even 3G-maybe later-but worst of all it was on ATT?Steve definitely got the better end of the deal, because now you can get the same Wi-Fi enabled capbilities on the iPod Touch w/o the crappy little phone shoved in it!Apple good/ATT not good.

"Vz in pc fl" you hit the nail on the head. Verizon has the best phones, and the best network. The iphone is a cool device, but operates on a prehistoric data network. It's like a 4 cylinder mustang. Any criticism of the 9900 is foolish as well...every high schooler out there has it because Verizon & LG had the foresight to make such a feature packed phone affordable to the masses.
