I'am happy with the phone I have and don't need all that extra crap.  I accidently went online with my phone when I first got it , checking out the different features, and it cost me $$$.  So either I pay as I go or get a plan that includes online.  So I'll stick to mu computer for that and use the phone for talking and the pics when I need one.  And I do have AT&T. :D 

Can I resist....yes.

Will I resist.....probably not.

 

Yeah, me three.

I can resist AT&T and their lowsy coverage where I live, so I suppose yes, I can resist it. Verizon FTW. I'll settle with one of the LGs with touchscreens or the Glide. (Hacked, of course)

 :SURPRISED:  :LOL:  :LOL:  :LOL:  :LOL: 

cant handle not haveing the memory, 3 Gbs is nothing. I'm waiting for the itouch to have more Gs.
Dr

Wow. 3G is the technology. Not the size. The phone is 8 Gig or 16 Gig ;p 

I like all the features. I will replace my chocolate in due time when its old and worn out with possibly another LG. Maybe the LG shine, or the latest IPhone, if.. and only if they move away from ATT. I been a verizon customer for years and they have always treated me well.  the I phoner looks cool etc.. but not allowing multiple network use, is the killer for the deal..

i like my blackberry curve and s-e w580 phones too much to switch to the iphone. i do thoroughly enjoy my ipod touch, though.

The word out there is that you can only get the phone when you sign an inflated 2 year contract with AT&T. In the end your paying alot more for the phone.   

INFIDEL!!

It should have been replaced as soon as it was released.

I see the chocolate and my first thought (much like my first thought on seeing a VW New Beetle or a Pontiac Sunfire) is 'Wow, looks like it should only belong to a high school cheerleader.'

mmmmm chocolate...

I actually got the chocolate because I need a slider phone and not a flip. Flip phones open too easily while im working and get broken. (I work construction) The LG 8550  chocolate Black, has been the most durable phone ive ever had. I have droped it countless times ,drop kicked it across parking lots, highways etc. (It is on a hip clip like my Ipod and they tend to come off at the most inconvienient times.) of all the phones ive owned It is the most rugged ive ever owned, Looking like hell now but still working like the day I bought it.

That and it looking simular to the Ipod of "scroll wheel and all" made it look attractive to me. I realize they will probably not carry the Chocolate when I replace mine, but another LG will be my choice. LG has impressed me with the sleek look and Outstanding durability put in to their phones.

HG you've had much better luck with it then than other people who I know.
But that's the way things usually work.

I completely agree. My Sanyo VI-2300 phone cost me $35, and can send and receive phone calls. That's all I want/need a cell phone to do. I already have a digital camera to take better pictures than any phone's built-in CCD array can take (and not take up lots of flash memory space in the phone, plus big download fees); I already have an MP3 player to play music with (and again, not take up lots of memory space, plus big download fees); I already have desktop computers and laptop computers to surf the internet with (and not incur more big download/connection fees for the phone); and I have a Palm if I need my calendar/contact list/basic handheld functionality. Why spend big bucks on a phone that has all of those redundant, lower quality, features (all of which cost extra to use) - plus if it gets lost/broken you have lost ALL of your connectivity?!

AT&T needs to make the service price a LOT smaller. (I'm not paying $59.99 per month on one phone! )

However, I will try to get the iPod touch (if it get's a price drop like the iPhone). Music, Video, touch screen, ultra-customizable interface (aka "Jailbreak")...oooohhhh yeah!

:LOL:

Not as good as I originally thought. Read about it here. WWW Link

I don't believe that is actually the case. It ends up being close to a wash. The phone is $200 cheaper & the data plan goes up $10 a month, so over 2 years you end up paying $40 more than you would have with the previous Edge-network phone, and you have a bunch of new features (many of which will be also available on the 1st gen phones after the free 2.0 software update). As for the activation fee, I've paid one for every cellphone I've ever purchased, so it should be no surprise.

I'll be getting one in a couple of weeks & will let you know what I think of it.

AlMonty , My Nokia N95 8gb does that too ... hehe !   

Sure, N82 8GB FTW!

i'll most definitely buy one.
