LG Lotus vs Palm 800

[meanfishy]

I'm posting this for my brother

He is tired if the T9 keypad and is wanting to upgrade, he tried my 6800 and does not like the slide out keyboard but wants a full QWERTY with buttons, so no Diamond .

he uses his phone 85% of the time for texting, and the other is for his itinerary and so forth, he is also big on songs and doing customizations.

has/does anyone know anything about the LG Lotus? I read the cnet review;http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/...?tag=mncol;lst but I would like to hear from someone who has used/has the phone and done more than just test


I'm leaning towards the 800 but he asked if I would get a comparison

Haven't tried the Louts, but i would pick the 800w hands down because of all the things it can do that the Lotus can't even dream of doing, because of the Windows Mobile 6.1 features and free turn by turn 3D talking navigation through Sprint.

I would definey agree AB33, I've had da 800w since august(dope phone), however, i have had a chance to use the Lotus...interesting phone, because despite the funny look, u can view youtube(for the youtube lovers), phone as modem(with a plan of course, dont think theres a workaround for that like WM), mobile email app(sprint's slick tho, they mite charge u depending the plan u have), u can have background apps running, evdo an all dat gud stuff...but if ur familiar wit pda's, the qwerty is NOT like da centro..u can actually use it whether u have skinny or fat fingers(thats a plus) GPS capable,...but..i only seen da purple color....(a lil feminine if u ask me..lol) But seriously, if u want the advantage of WM 6.1, the da 800w is for u...otherwise the Lotus wud be jus fine in my opinion
