I wrote a long comment for this site and the mods never posted it. So for whatever their decision I will keep this one short.
I love the phone and it works wonderfully. The complaints against it are generally not related to the phone, they are targeted at the operating system it runs. Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro is used by other phones and can be upgraded to the next version when it comes out, the same way a home computer can be upgraded. The screen is not that slow to respond like everyone claims. The screen is visibly reactive and the operating system itself lags but not that bad. The keyboard is an onscreen keyboard and acts as such. You can press a button on screen that will make the onscreen board cover the send key so you don't accidentally press it while typing as people have complained they did. If I had read these reviews I would have never bought the phone. They are misleading at best.
It's $200 not $800 so that's the quality you get. It's not an iPhone so make sure you buy and iPhone if that is what you want to use. If you don't like Windows Mobile 6.1, this phone uses it as an operating system act accordingly. And when you get ANY phone, make sure you learn to use the operating system before you say it sucks. Your inability to use the device might just be your own fault.

I decided to renew my contract and without having the ability to play with the phone i decided that it looked hot, and had a ton of features so i wanted it. So minutes after i bought it i began hating the phone, here's why.
1. The sensor doesn't sense the position of the phone as it should, i played with an itouch and assumed that this would have the same quick ability to go from landscape to portrait view, but it doesn't.
2. Texting is a bitch...the wierd as way shit is laid out on the phone makes it impossible to navigate smoothly. Also i can't send sms messages because of some software glitch, which makes having a phone 50% more useless.
3. The sytlus just hangs off a string on the side, there is no pocket to stick it into which makes it easy to lose or easy to scratch the phone.
4. The wifi connecting capibility isn't very good, i sit next to the router and the the phone still has a hard time staying connected.
5. In order to press on something you have to press hard, its NOT like and iphone, or itouch.
I'm sure there are many more disappointments about the phone, the only thing i can seriously say i like is the design.

The only thing this will "Incite" is a riot with our customers when they discover the hard way that LG smart phone is an oxymoron!

The Iphone generally does NOT, with an occational lag here and there that every phone might have, the same goes for the SAMSUNG ETERNITY (the phone that I traded my LG INCITE in for and is available thru AT&T), this phone practically has no lag EVER, which is great because when you touch a button, it reacts just as quickly.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-12-03 01:02 from qJ2DWell, in response to your question, the lag time is about 1-3 seconds...for a regular phone that would be annoying, for a touchscreen it is horrible! When you have a physical button to press, at least you know that if the phone lags, the button you pressed was indeed registered. However, with a touchscreen, you'd WANT it to be as responsive to the touch, how else will you know that the button was registered if not for the quick response of the phone? The small click vibration would then be the solution, which many phones adopted, none-the-less, this phone vibrates whenever you touch the screen be there a button or no button, so it kind of renderes itself useless. You spend way too much time trying just to figure out if any button you pressed just registered.
To answer someone elses question about texting: I with all my heart and soul am completely against this phone for simple, quick texting. The reason being: the phone tries its hardest to MAKE TEXTING COMPLICATED! Not only do you have to access 3 to 4 different options just to get to something you can write on for texting, but you have to do all the navigating on the smallest font I've ever seen on a phone. And once you get to the actual document setting to send out a Microsoft Office Outlook type text message, the lag of the keyboard when you type or even want to start typing completely makes it all the most undesirable.
I hope that all helped for you people who were questioning anything else.

From my experience working in a phone store all the LG touch screens from the Chocolate to the viewty are not too good. Picture your self taking a cheese grater and mincing up your finger then using the remians to type out a document on a touch screen phone. that pretty much is what it is like. but some use a blender.
