To be honest, I have mixed opinions. The interface was actually disappointing in that there are so many different pages to navigate that any ounce of simplicity is removed. The HTML browser is refreshing, it loads pages fast and they look wonderful.

E-mail is a bit lacking, with no POP, IMAP, or exchange support, but it does support Yahoo!, AOL, AIM, Windows Live, AT&T Yahoo!, & Bellsouth e-mail accounts, and it supports AIM, Windows Live, and Y! messengers.

There is 120MB internal storage, and the device is currently only expandable up to 4GB via microSD card, but the LG rep said that larger cards will later be supported through firmware updates.

The haptic feedback seems underdone. I liked the haptic feedback of Verizon's Voyager better.

In any case, I am still excited about this device since it will be the best non-smartphone AT&T offers as far as features are concerned. (Yes I said non-smartphone this is purely a regular phone with a touch interface and HTML).

To be honest, I was hoping the interface was a bit more like my Iphone so I can start carrying a 3G device that is simple and feature rich. Oh well, I will have to wait for Apple to launch the 3G Iphone.

And lastly, the LG rep assured me that the launched is scheduled for late April or early May and that the only thing that would cause a delay would be if mediaFlo gets delayed.
