As long as it has a decent battery life, I may be on this. It doesn't look that bad. I don't need a smart phone, I NEED a qwerty keyboard. Crossing my fingers, they don't require a smart choice plan.
Is that a touch screen? It looks like it because of the icons & the tabs at the bottom of the screen. I wonder if its gonna come in other colors...

As soon as I saw this post I thought of what you posted back when. Great stuff sir
I played with one of these. Pretty nice. Not "wow" but nice for someone "needing" a qwerty.

IMO it's not a smartphone if it doesn't run WM, Android, or Palm OS. Yes, that does mean that the Voyager, Instinct, and the all-important iPhone are NOT smartphones.
And it was all great until I saw the word "Celltop" on the screen. But it looks like a good design nevertheless. Good luck to Motorola, who will hopefully keep LG out of the number one spot!

We just got our dummy kit in... I heard screams from the kitchen as some of the sales reps just messed around with the 'dead' phone. Can't wait to hear the shrieks when we get one to activate for demo.
EDVO tether.... cool.... I wonder if it'll be out for christmas. I can smell the commission from this one as long as every tween in West Michigan have generous parents.

Aw, stumpy?.... Kids will love this phone, Generous parents will snap this up. Heck I might grab one for me for personal use, I'm holding out for the Nextel BB for work. Motorola is going to give LG a run for their money. My theory is: I don't have to like the phone for me, I just have to find the person that does like it and sell it to them
