This LG Shine sounds pretty sweet.

can you change all the icons and lockscreen, theme it with weather clocks, animated weather, animated backgrounds, download thousands of apps that let you manage your bank accounts, order food, play a shitload of games, manage your DVR thru an app, draw/paint, upload pics directly to facebook, integrate stuff with facebook, post ads on craigslist via an app, bid on ebay via an app, carrier unlock it?

Does it have a better GPU than any snapdragon device?

Does it have video conferencing?

Can you put a custom boot logo on it?

Can you put Android on it?

Can it multitask?


And it does a lot more than that too.


Any flip-phone now can copy/paste, play music, and retrieve email...

ehh. like i said. its a unique platform. a very good feature phone. im glad your happy with it. just so you know, i cant contend with all your points, but jsyk, any phone can access your bank account or order food. its called calling the bank or the restraunt. i dont think a ton of worthless apps make it any better. any phone can control dvr through text. thats old stuff.
i know how important a custom boot logo is... id want that apple off my phone too.

exactly,

the funny thing is it can do so many things even a winmo phone can't do.

But I'll stick with WinMo/Android for now.

the way you worded that, makes it seem as though i was talking about winmo. i was going more apples to apples by comparing dumbphones. please dont drag winmo in to this. we all know its a beast in its last death throes.

well winmo IS considered a smartphone, so a comparison was worthy. It can also do things Android can't and can actually copy/paste unlike winpho7.

Having said that I actually am pretty excited about winpho7.

Just noticed your avatar.

Man I think I saw every "cartoon planet" episode back in the day, SGCTC wasn't as good, but was funny sometimes.

well, I can agree that those are perhaps the most awesome tattoos ever.
