supposedly the $520 price tag for the 915 is for vu in non tv markets, but how the hell does LG and at&t have the nerve to charge more for that phone than the iPhone? no gps, and with at&t java restrictions, i bet google maps wouldn't work.
AT&T put Java restrictions on my v3xx. Everytime you want to download any data from the internet you have to allow the transfer. Every time, meaning every time Google Maps wants to refresh or download a new area on a map, you are prompted. It turns out to be every 10 seconds you hit Allow. That's only one example, but I don't know about any phones after that. I have a Tilt now. I had the v3xx but I would lose the AT&T built in java applications by swapping the security file.
you call this a restriction. although this is anoying but at least you can download and use java apps. have you tried t-mobile??? now thats a restriction. with t-mobile you can't even connect to the internet with java apps....not to defened att but people are the number one reason for that so called restriction...they download crap to thier phone and when the bill arraive they raise hill to att that they were not worn about accessing the internet..so there you have it..thank you people..thank you very much
