elgee02 - Maybe if all things verizon in the blogosphere are covered with complaints about their CRIPPLED firmware, they might decide its bad enough press to stop crippling...
Perhaps as a cleverly titled LG fan you've missed that the moto KRZR also can't play mp3's, has limited bluetooth functionality, and doesn't utilize the outside buttons properly. On a red phone like this, the VZW UI looks nice for sure, but pulling off a fantastic impression of a VZW billboard doesn't qualify as a phone feature.
At any rate, Alltel and Verizon Monster flashes have been leaked, so flash VZW away with impunity!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
