I was thinking bout getting the LG Incite for the past few days, but I don't know if I want to. I been reading reviews trying to decide if this phone will be better then the Blackberry Curve. The LG Incite does look kind of big and bulky. Also, I was thinking about all the stuff the would go unused if I bought this phone. If you don't have e-mail or internet is there any use for this phone? Also, I am afraid that the phone would easily break.

Cheryl,
I have been looking at this phone for a little bit as well and reading all the reviews I can find. I am not sure if you have made your choice yet, but here is my opionion. After reading a lot of reviews, it seems that a revewers seem to be trying to find things wrong with it and the fact that it came out after there have been a good number of touch screen phones on the market and this phone doesn't have anything extreamly new and exciting, they seem to say it is so so. That seems to be a theam now days with revewers of phones. Unless the phone has a extreamly new feature that is so cool, the phone gets only a so so review. And so what the stylus is outside the box. At least they put it on a lanyard so it is connected to it, good enough in my book. They probally didn't have the space for it. They did pack quite a lot into that unit.
As for size, I would say it is not much bigger than any other touchscreen phone aviable now, if not the same size. The Blackberry storm for example, I think was a little bit bigger and heaver. I would recommend go to go a store that has functional models on desplay and play with it for a long time. That is what I did and I want one now.
As for not using email and internet, the device would be "overkill" for you technically, but just about all phones do those now days. It would be that this one could do it easier than most non smart phones out there and some smart phones as well. You never know, you just may like having it there on the phone and start using it. I know that at most AT&T proper stores (not another company selling at&t pones under their name) have functional units for you to play with and you can use all the features except for the GPS. You can go on the web, send text's, and make calls so that you can try out all the functions.
ok, this was just my .02 worth. Good luck.

Hi Cheryl,
I got the Incite a couple of weeks ago. There are both pro's and cons. It has most of the things u need from a smart phone and it has decent wifi. The browser on the other hand is tricky to use and it's not like the Iphone. the response time on the touch screen seems to be a little laggy. You can view word documents and edit them. The phone isnt too big and bulky. I think I like the design. The downfall itself is from texting. I tried both landscape and t9 mode and it was just very difficult to text. and my fingers keeps hitting the t9 button to bring up the keyboard. So in the middle of texting i would accidently hit the key and the keyboard would disappear. I owned a blackberry curve and if u like texting that would be a better choice.Otherwise if u like the windows mobile platform then i would go for the Incite. oh and LG includes a stylus that dangles like a keychain off the phone. I wish they would've made a place where u can slide it in.

The phone is wi-fi capable, so you'd be able to use the internet when you are out. Many restaurants and other places have wi-fi. Heck, the Subway in my Wal-Mart has wi-fi.

I have owned my Incite for a few weeks now and I am loving it. The only complaints I have are a few quirks with Windows Mobile not the phone itself. The Incite has one of the best GPS receivers I have every experienced in any device. If you recalibrate the screen correctly (don't use the factory setup) you won't ever need the stylus. If you want to know how the Incite truly performs and what it is capable of, head over to the forum at www.lg-incite.com. You can hear all kinds of stories about the Pros and the Cons of the phone from real users instead of lame reviewers who just want something to pick up and be overly amazing right out of the box.

I think a big plus for the LG Incite is that it offers all of these features, without requiring a data plan with at&t... if you get a Blackberry or almost any other smartphone that is packed with all the features the LG Incite has, chances are there is at least a $30 monthly fee tagging along for the ride. If you can handle the bulkiness, I think it offers more options for cheaper.
It can also handle up to 32GB of expanded memory via MicroSD. With an included media player, equalizer, and 3.5mm headphone jack, it is nice to be able to use your high quality mp3 player headphones, without buying a new set of headphones or an adapter for a 2.5mm headset jack. For perspective, I got an 8GB MicroSD card on eBay for $16.99.
From the college student's perspective (we have extremely thin wallets), the Incite offers high capacity music storage, wi-fi for on campus connectivity, and it can be ordered online for $99.99 brand new from at&t with a new plan. It's a serious package for a small price.
This is a great review physically and technically, but that's my two cents on how it fares fiscally, as well. Hopefully it's helpful information...
Good luck with your phone shopping!!

I was thinking about getting this, LG Incite or the LG Viewty. The only reason why I would buy this is because of the WiFi. Since I don't pay for the internet on my phone, plus I have WiFi at my house. This review was definitely helpful. I was hooked on this phone but had a couple questions that you answered. But, for texting; can you text in portrait mode with t9 or abc? Sometimes I'm not the best with keyboards. Or does the keyboard have predictive texting so if i mess up a word it will change it? Like the iPhone? Also, would you say that the camera is good? Does it have flash? And if you could maybe see the LG Viewty and tell me what one you think is better.
Thank You.
