Hands-On with the LG Motion

Agreed... I have avoided Android devices up until now for several reasons, but the two biggies that remain are 1) that I can't stand the giant 4"+ screens that most Android OEM's think every Android device must have in order to compete at all, and 2) that Android devices with screens of 3.5" and less seem to always get the short end of the stick on internal hardware, radios, and extra features. I will never go iPhone because I detest Apple's business practices, and I decline to sell my soul to that snobby and uber-expensive iTunes, but this phone, this LG Motion, just might be the kind of Android I could go with. The Samsung Rugby Smart grabbed my attention earlier this year, but if this has decent internals and lives up to the specs listed, and keeps that kind of pricing, it would not only improve my prior opinion of most LG Android offerings (they have mostly been excessively disappointing in the past)... but it could finally get me into owning an Android device for myself for the first time.

I have been a Nokia Symbian nut for ages, and have been lamenting the decline and end of S60 3rd Edition for far too long... I want this to be an awesome phone that actually works well, restores LG's name in the smartphone world, and converts me to Android and LTE without also needing to sell me a 4"+ screen that cannot possibly fit into my super-small Burger-King-dude hands...

Now, if only they could sell this thing on Sprint, or make a GSM/WCDMA/LTE version for AT&T... I don't get MetroPCS out here in the Pennsylvanian backwoods!
