I, too, had a G4, and bought the Priv for comparison. I liked it, but finally sent the Priv back because I didn't see enough difference to justify spending the $720. They were that close. I also was afraid that my Verizon Priv would soon be an orphan or at the very least Verizon's red-headed stepchild. I'm very disappointed that I was right about that one. Nonetheless, my son won't give up his Priv, even with LP and no updates.
