its funny you say that m_242 one of my friends was looking for a stylus for her iphone! and she didn't realise that it doesnt recognise it LOLLL
she regrets her purchase... so i guess this post is to make people aware..

cos i do know many had purchase the phone without even looking at it .. and some are disappointed.. thats ALLL take a chill pill

its good u guys love ur iphones.. but be realisitc.. try to hear out other peoples opinions...
hopefully apple introduces the next iphone with a better camera!! at a comparable price :?

No stylus?

A bit like not buying a car because there's no horse.

What don't you like about the lack of stylus, though?

Give the iPhone keyboard a try, really!

A stylus is a step back, not a step forward. You make the point that "most of it is just software and apps"

This is the main reason many people have bought an iPhone - because of the phone's software, and the apps available. No matter what shape you make the icons on the home-screen, a Viewty still runs LG software...and that's not good.

To be honest i was very disappointed it only had a 2mega pixel camera and what frustrated me the most there was no stylus! you had to use your finger all the time.

Only reason i liked the iphone was because of its user interface... and since my nokia died ( water damage) i was in need of a new phone.. however i didnt end up purchasing the iphone.

I bought the LG VIEWTY! it has a 5 mega pixel camera, smaller then the iphone big large bright screen , divx, has external storage capabilities, has flash software capabilities and comes with a stylus!

Now i did love the iphone user interface so i installed a flash theme so i can have the lovely interface looking professional and neat! in the end i got a better camera, able to watch excellent quality videos and video clips with clear sound. & excellent reception.

check it out this is an example of an lg viewty that looks just like the iphones interface.
there are more versions of this theme that look spectacular

YouTube - lg viewty into iphone

YouTube - LG ku990 Viewty - iphone Theme v3.0



so before you make a hasty decision that costs around $800 outright and $1000 and more over the lifetime of a plan...
have a look at the this phone... its touchscreen has a better camera and you can get an interface thats just the same only for around $429 thats how much i paid! considering i was going to spend $800 on an 8gig... roughly
TRANSLATED........

I stuffed up, slept in, missed my spot in the line, and am now trying to find ways of making me feel better!

You enjoy the LG.

I've used both and the iPhone craps all over the Viewty. LG user interfaces are among the worst I have used. Oh and the build quality and reliability are worse than Apples' too.
