LG Revolution

Since the LG Revolution was relased last Thursday I decided to go check it out at the Verizon store.
Well, to begin, its outward looks were against it. Its almost as thick as the thunderbolt which kills the hope of having a thinner phone. Its materials are plasticy and the silver buttons look really cheap. It is a bit lighter than the t bolt to be fair, but not much.
it has an LG skin to it which is one of the worst I've used. It gives the shortcuts different icons and the app tray is divided into categories. Nice if you want them sorted, but after having apps alphabetical for so long, its natural that way.
It has bing search instead of google. Im not sure if you can change that preference, but if not, then that could be a big consideration.
I played around with some apps and when I loaded a video on tv.com and then exited it froze up. Finally it left the app, but the audio kept playing. It was a pretty big glitch in my opinion so I put the device back on the shelf. No Revolution for me.
I haven't really gone hands on with the droid charge. The one at the Verizon store wasn't working. Im not very likely to get it anyway for several reasons. 1 I dont want to pay $300 for a phone. 2 Samsung puts a very weak wifi chip in the device. 3 like all the others say, its plasticy and doesn't feel solid. I also am not very keen on the physical navigation buttons.
If I were to buy a Verizon 4G phone today it would be the Thunderbolt. I feel it is the most solid and it has a good feel and proportion.
The Verizon rep said the Bionic is still in the works and hasn't been canceled, they just don't have a release date yet.
Tiered data plans are going to be coming in July, so if you need an unlimited plan, resign soon if possible. Verizon may grandfather the unlimited data plans for a short period of time, but that's not definative.
