@Curtis Earl: yes, iPhone has IMAP, this is how I keep up-to-date with my email when on the road. POP3 at home and the same accounts as IMAP on the iPhone. Works great.

I do understand that emotional reaction, I did not like the thought either.

but… buy an iphone, you’ll love the features and won’t look back.

of course, at the time I had been on a month-to-month deal with my carrier and that month run out 3 days after buying the iphone… I do know a few who had to pay penalty for switching mid contract, but they never regretted it either.

does the Iphone have IMAP? i don’t think it does. anyways, the iphone is pretty, but m boyz don’t find it very useful for anything beyond showing it to people.

Here is a review of the Viewty by Cnet, worth reading.

I just ordered the LG Viewty as second phone. It has a 5 megapixel photo and video camera (up to 130fps mp4), 3" touchscreen, a full browser, landscape mode, quad band, 434 hours standby. Sure, it has no wi-fi, but has HSDPA (3.5G), which, if you have a flat rate contract, makes more sense to me. Next thing for my first phone is also to “upgrade” to an iPhone. Hope the Viewty get’s me busy untill there is a 3g iPhone coming out. Edge might be ok enough, but i always have trouble settling with something if there is in fact something better out there, in this case something faster.
