Sorry Eric but...

There is NO flash on the Vortex. It is however very responsive to the touch and pretty slick.
Thanks!

The press release says it does. I am checking with Verizon and LG to verify. Will update post if/when I hear back from them.

Wow, that doesn't sound low-priced at all.

T-Mobile is $80.00 BEFORE a $50.00 mail in rebate.
