Of my initial use of the phone, I'm coming from a Palm Pre, its nothing I couldn't get used to. Everything loads INSTANTLY, zero delay. Coming from the Palm Pre Minus with 2.1 installed on it. This is a relief. I only have two disapointments so far. No LED Notification, and No Visual Voicemail (not really a knock againist the phone since its pure google). The Synergy isn't as good obviously from a Palm Pre. But nothing I couldn't get used to. I've been on a Physical Keyboard for 2 years, its going to take some time to get used to a screen keyboard. I keep typing wrong charecters. Wish this had swype.

Overall im 100% satisifed. Call quality is excellent and the reciever noted that background noises were much cleaner coming from the pre when needed.

PS, I think the Palm Pre had better power management for AIM, this phone used up a good 40% overnight with aim alone. (According to battery usage in settings). That was attached to wifi.

Thanks! I will look this up I figured on a NoLED phone, the screen area would be used by some app.

Correct me if im wrong, but you can also MOVE a application to the USB Storage, meaning you have at least 14gb of available. Right?

Under Manage Applications, If you choose a app it says Move to USB Storage. As long as the app isn't in use.

Thank you KSmithInNY. Does this mean you are switching to Nexus and development for LG stops?

Klownicle - You can move but I think not all apps are able to move to that part of storage

Our infrastructure for the LG is strong so that's not going anywhere soon. I will never again own/maintain code for a phone but I'd certainly contribute if the right open source project came along
