Fuck the best network with fast EVDO data speed? ]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/Feb 3rd 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/
I've tried the DARE and a few other LG's and compared to iPhone THEY SUCK HORRIBLY.

This phone looks better but, I can't help feeling I've seen it before (ahem...IPHONE CLONE)

The video call camera is interesting but I doubt it will catch on. NOBODY WANTS PEOPLE TO SEE THEM WHEN THEY ARE MAKING A CALL. Too many lies would be uncovered.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/Feb 4th 2009 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/
I appologize for the yelling, but until the real thing is offered on the network where my service contract is located and am satisfied with coverage and call quality. I will take a decent KIRF. Sure you may not be able to mimic the exact experience of the iPhone. Just imagine if someone were to come out with something like this that has Copy & Paste or a proper flash player and hey maybe even a SD expansion slot features that should be on your beloved iPhone, but are mysteriously absent.

An for all you a$$hats that immediately call anything that resembles the iPhone an iPhone clone. You are all just clones of the first guy to call something an iPhone clone.

*AHEM* Was that an attempt at wry humor?

As for the Omnia resemblence.. ok, but that phone's touch is royally screwed up, so hopefully the LG doesn't follow to closely.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/Feb 3rd 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/
I mean, really, LG?

You got tons of talented GUI folks on sites like Deviant Art and Icon Factory.

Why didnt you guys give them some work and have them do a custom design?]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/Feb 3rd 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/
Usually they say it because they think any touch screen phone is a "copy" of the iPhone.

People like iEye.

In this case, the broken clock is right once today. When they start doing it again just to be fanboys, they will go gray.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/lg-arena-km900-touchscreen-phone-shows-itself-in-print/
