I agree, the $79.99 makes the LGBL40 even more appealing

I am seriously considering switching to Telus from Bell Mobility for either the Hero, LG BL40, or even the Touch Pro 2…I’d have a hard time deciding which to go with.

-The issue is that the Hero doesn’t have WiFi, according to Telus; but Android is so fast and the interface is just so appealing, it looks like it would be a fun device to own.

-The LG BL40 looks sweet (IMO), yes it’s a bit on the tall side but it’s unique and Tall for a reason, the UI looks really cool and I like that split screen feature and would love to see how creative they get with it. The lagging doesn’t seem unbearable. It’s ready for Video Messaging when the rest of the consumers catch on…

-The HTC Touch Pro 2 is such a feature-rich device and that keyboard is very, very nice. Plus I like HTC’s UI for it.

Right now the only devices I’m considering from Bell Mobility are the Samsung Omnia II or the BlackBerry Bold 9700. I don’t think Bell Mobility’s line up of new devices is that impressive.

I’m planning on getting the LG BL40/New Chocolate.

$79.99 isn’t that bad.
Plus, with its WiFi capabilities…

Wait.
If I go on a site like ebuddy on the WiFi connection, would I need to pay for each message sent from ebuddy?
And if I send a message via instant messenger, does that sent message count as a text message or as something else?

Man, that guy constantly referring to the company behind the BlackBerry as just.. BlackBerry was kind of infuriating. I wanted to reach through my screen, slap him, and yell “RESEARCH IN MOTION!” That aside, nice video!

All of those devices actually look really good… except the new chocolate. Sure the huge screen is cool but the UI is so laggy! Piece o’ crap in my opinion.

The HTC Hero is such a nice device!

I would consider transferring to Telus just for that phone!!
