Flash is coming to the iPhone.
How much storage is inside the LG Viewty? I bet it isn't 8GB or 16GB.
Sounds to me like your only gripe was the 2MP camera. It takes fine photos, in my opinion. It's not the best, but they are suitable for emails.

Stylus' are pathetic pieces of plastic that will snap, you have to take them with you, you have to dig around in your pocket to get it out blah blah....
And I agree with Huy, it takes fine photos for what a camera in a phone is supposed to do. Its a phone with a camera not a camera with a phone. Try and find a LG forum next time.

Ok guys, let's just give the baby his bottle. Iphonecritic, if you want to use a cheap quality mobile phone, go for it, but don't tell us that we should downgrade our standards and buy one as well to save a couple of bucks. Apple make there profits through quality, other companies make their's through quantity. Apple are going to keep on sending out iPhone updates to make it better and better. On the other hand, LG will just make another phone and forget about your's to keep making money. You are happy with your purchase, and that's good, but here on an Apple forum, we don't care and you arn't going to be able to change our minds with: yeh da lg iz betta coz it's got a stylus. Who wants to poke a screen with a stick anyway?
That's my opinion,
Tom

+1. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Now I just have to find this 'iPhone' and see what all the fuss is about. (Don't hurt me)

I agree, however, I was thinking more of thinks like double-tap, pinch and the loupe for fine selections. These interface elements usually solve the "problems" people raise. 
Geoff3DMN, I agree that avoiding a greasy screen is a better reason to require a stylus and thanks to Ten One Design you can now have one. The beauty of the iPhone screen in comparison to other phones, however, is that it is made of glass and therefore easy to keep clean and free from scratches. 
I still don't think that a stylus is required to use the interface quickly, accurately and efficiently. It may, in fact, be a hindrance to optimal use.
