Doesn't have to be perfect, but it should at least be capable of offering options every other cell phone offers.

If they design their products to be replaced every year then they should fire the guy who made my Ipod Video about 3 years ago. Moron

Will it come with a memory card slot or would it still be internal memory only?

Do you really need more than 16GB. It's a phone.

Also, doesn't seem to have vibe feedback when typing nor the option to flip the phone to landscape. What excatly did they change besides 3g and the fruity shiny black? Metal was so much hotter

Im sticking with VZW... way better service and phones. Lg dare and BB Thunder are going to blow this phone away. Seems as though they made no real changes. Nice 3g tech on a network that can barely offer it

I don't think this phone offers stero bluetooth either... For a phone with a built in ipod that is rediculous. Nothing special here at all

Just another LG Prada copy. When will apple come up with their own ideas.

I'm not an Apple fan boy, by all means. However, the Prada screen is pressure sensitive and the iPhone seriously has the best touch screen capabilities as far as touch-screen phones go. But anyways the world revolves around taking someone's original idea and improving on it. If we were to get technical, the Prada wasn't the first touch screen phone or the first phone with that shape. Sorry bud, but if you want original ideas, go see a movie....oh wait

Actually I totally agree with you and my post was actually directed towards the multiple apple fanboys that seem to think that Apple invented the touch screen. Ive just been getting a little annoyed that whenever you read about a new touch screen phone, a bunch of annoying apple fan boys come running over claiming that "(insert any touchsreen) is a just an iphone copycat". It was not directed towards people like you who actually know what they are talking about. I just wanted to confuse all the jesusphone fanatics who think apple invented touch screen technology (which in reality as been around for many years). And yes, all apple did was improve upon it. As far as it being pressure sensitive (ala the Dare) vs. Capacitive sreens (ala the Iphone), its a big myth that people think one is better than the other. It all comes down to how you implement it. Apple did a great job implementing a great Capacitive sreen. Apple could have gone with a pressure sensitive and probably made one just as stunning. A lot of people think try one or the other and have a bad experience and automatically assume that everything using that technology will also suck, not true. Ive used Capacitive screens that were great like the Iphone, and ones that totally suck ( like the Dare). Ive also used plenty of Pressure sensitive screens that worked great, and some that sucked. Now the dual touch technology... that sets them apart. Oh and last thing, yes I am also annoyed by people on the other side of the fence who have to refer to every new phone as an "Iphone killer" (thats getting annoying too). Peace im out!

Yeah I hear you. I actually like the iPhone, I just hate the fanboys to be honest. I'm perfectly hapy with my VZW phone though. Haha I like working here too. Back to the iPhone, like I said, I like it. I know behind a CDMA network that phone would be amazing(There's a few things they'd need to fix also) But still

The white 16G looks really nice but to tell you the truth i would rather get an unlocked one because at&t sucks!

yay! 3G! wait.... where can I use 3G? nowhere? hmmmmmm. maybe ill just stick with Verizon since they obviously care about there customers network more than launching a phone that the main feature cant be used except if you live in the few large cities where AT&T has it launched. Blackberry Thunder here I come!

You guys from VZW still dreaming iphone is going one day with y'all, I would belive so when the first CDMA iphone hits the streets, I don't know if you ever made any kind of research but CDMA y is phasing little by little, 3GSM is beating the hell out CDMA, many carriers around the world are switching to GSM and none are leaving GSM for CDMA, even VZW will turn to GSM for its 4G, HEHE take that haters
