Same. I guess they are sticking with Symbian OS. Bad Choice!!!!!!!! LG makes some sick camera phones anyway. If they ever use flash media, we'll have the benefit of the doubt - SD, miniSD, RSMMC

Because of their ceasing of development of CDMA phones, their products are useless for Verizon and Sprint customers. LG has some great products for CDMA and GSM, hopefully they'll make some great PalmOS products for both sides. __________________ Palm III > Palm V > Sony S320 > Sony N760 > Palm T\|T3 > Sony TJ25 > Sony TJ37 > Tapwave Zodiac2 & Sony TG50

I love GSM and hate CDMAs because if I wanted to move to a Treo right now, I could do so without the middleman T-Mobile butting in. Just buy a Treo, place SIM in device and your set.

dragonsgames I'm stuck on the source Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Houston Posts: 7,103	I have a LG Sprint phone, it was the only "phone" they had with bluetooth. All the rest were smartphones. It is a well-built phone, and is stylish. I hope LG makes a cool smartphone . __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

They do, check out sprints LG MM-535. Takes mini sd. I've heard nothing but good things, except that battery life is crap. The 545 will have bluetooth and EVDO
