BT 3G Mobile Phones

UPDATE: I switched to the new LG Optimus V and while the android 2.2 system is great, the ON SCREEN KEYBOARD SUCKS!!! I can’t even explain how badly it sucks… what we need is an ANDROID with a REAL keyboard… I hate the on screen keyboard and it SO slows me down with errors.

Took me a little while to get this up but now that I have had this phone for about 3 months I can tell you it is THE BEST DEAL currently in a phone.

Some people will whine that it is not a ”true’ smart phone but I had the ‘true’ smart phone the Blackberry Curve 8530 and found it to be awful compared to this the ln510 (LG Rumor Touch).

The blackberry curve has a tiny lower resolution screen with no touch, and its full qwerty keyword is very crammed together making it hard to type and use, and worst of all, it’s TWICE the cost and then costs an extra $10 a month to use.

Virgin mobile plans are as follows:
$25 – unlimited 35 internet / web /text / 300 min talk
$40 – unlimited 35 internet / web /text / 1200 min talk
$60 – unlimited everything… internet, web, text, pics and vifdeo emails and minutes

Al plans have excellent coverage nationwide.

I far preferred this phone to the blackberry curve. The rumor touch has a britghter higher resolution (400 x 240) widescreen that is touch sensitive, and it has a big flip out full qwerty keyboard which is a must for me. I don’t like typing on screen keyboards, even though it has that too, I only use it to dial some phone #s.

Really, this is almost like a mini netbook / laptop as you have full internet access, e-mail acces, aim and msn chat access, google maps access. And it’s a portable entertainment station with a full media player that both plays and records videos and voice memos, and plays mp3s, youtube, and your own stored videos.

It also has a good selection of games that play fairly well and only cost a few dollars.

Very good phone, very happy with it for now until one of the ‘crazy smart phones’ comes to a company with NO contract at this price point, I won’t be wasting my money. My friend pays $130 month for his iphone? Why? I have a computer at home for mind blowing graphics.
