I need a new phone - I'll take that one (ha if only I had the money)

Pretty slick phone, but there's far too much choice out their now.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/
Same here. Even low-end stuff in Asia looks really good (though "low-end" there is relative). Those same manufacturers come to the US and all their stuff looks like cheap junk. Why not just release the same phones but with different electronics, if necessary? Same colors and everything. Why do they have to make new designs to appeal to "American" tastes, which to them obviously means "make stuff that looks like ass"? Do they think the fact that American manufacturers just have crap designers means that those are the kinds of designs we actually *want*?

The design is heavily influenced by Japanese handset design anyway.

Any word on if this will have GSM on it aswell?? Cingular is not using the same band for UMTS as Voda KK or Europe so if this one does not sport GSM it ain't gonna work 'round these parts]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/24/lgs-u880-thin-umts-3g-phone/
I can no longer turn off the camera sound. So stealth pics are out of the question. (even in silent mode)

The font on the home screen has a nasty border around it. It gives you the option to use comic sans but this is almost unreadable.

The wallpaper now has to be sized to cover the whole screen and goes behind the option icons. This can make things unclear.

I never liked iconic menus and prefer a list for options ... this option has also gone

Call quality seems good. This is the main thing I guess

I hate the way that Three fill the phone menus up with shit ... I'm really not interested in their content.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM
