Do you use SMS messaging? Because by your logic no one would have use for it since email is a psuedo-free alternative. Now, as online photo publishing software (flickr/picasa) goes mobile it might be a better alternative than MMS, but that's still a ways off.

Personally, I wish email worked as SMS/MMS/Voice does -- 1 standardized number for all communication with anyone on the planet, although the concept certainly isn't without it's own drawbacks/concerns/difficulties. But it's easier for my

NO... I HIGHLY DOUBT LG and OTHERS WERE THINKING ABOUT THE PRADA... WHETHER OR NOT IT LOOKS LIKE A PRADA, THEY ARE TAKING Qs FROM APPLE.

LG is the company that makes the Prada. And to beat a dead horse... The Prada was released BEFORE the iPhone. The Vu is an evolution of the Prada designed to be released in the US. So I would say... YES, LG probably took a lot of cues from THEIR OWN PHONE when designing the Vu. ]]>May 2nd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/

Kudos:
Small, BLACK, good resolution screen, good quality on the video playback, easy to navigate, Not out yet.

Cons:
Mobile Email: Wheres the fricken GMAIL?, High Price for non PDA, Scroll is the reverse of what you would expect: to scroll down in the list of contacts you scroll down with your thumb, Unlock key is hard to get a handle on.]]>May 1st 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/May 2nd 2008 7:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/

1250 anytime
N&W startung at 7
unlimited data, text, and picture mail
and basic sprint tv

all for 49.99 - 5.00 - 12%

so I will take my mogul on the cheapest plan in the country (not to mention the mogul is better than the iphone and this vu)

and wait till the rapheal and diamond come out... and we have Instinct coming too... the only thing that could compete is a 3g iphone (if apple takes the hand cuffs off) and the verizon glyde (if vzw doesnt cripple the OS like every other phone they release)]]>May 2nd 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/
Phreak9mm, you are right, the Vu is much like Verizon's Voyager, except you CAN type on screen. The phone has a dial pad and a full keyboard similar to that of the iPhone.

One update I would like to make on my assessment of the Vu, is that the web browser for sure does not support flash or flash video sites such as YouTube.

One other note about the build quality of the Vu. Let's just say it feels "plastic".

This phone looks good but to play music you need a sd card which only goes up to 4 gig. My iphone has 16 gigs so thats much better. second i can go on any website just like im on my computer with the iphone and i have yet to see another phone duplicate this so clearly and easy. Im not going to put down this or other phones because people are all different and competition is good but i dont see how one can put down the iphone just because apple makes it. for what the iphone does, music, internet and email it does it much better than any phone i ever saw before. some of you need to grow up and get a life because it makes you sound like complete geeks to make it your number 1 priority to bash apple, or microsoft for that matter, or any company for that matter. ]]>May 5th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/01/hands-on-with-the-lg-vu-in-retail-clothing/
