So yeah, I seriously considering the LG Viewity, but I since the phone is unlocked it doesnt have the AT&T browser profile thingy that enables you to like access the internet and what not.

I just want to be able to send and receive MMS!

and access youtube

AT&T can't send the profile and in most cases, they will not help you. Despite saying they have the most open network (which they do; along with T-Mobile; GSM ROCKS! 🙂 ), they have an unwritten rule about helping customers with unlocked phones. That rule: DON'T!

If you are going to access YouTube from your device, you had better get on a data plan, or you will be very sorry. Without a data package you will pay 1 cent per kilobyte of data transferred. Video uses a lot of data, and if you stream a 1MB video file, that translates to approximately 1000 kilobytes, which at 1 cent per is $10. Do that 5 times a month and you've just spent $50 on data. Do it 5 times a day and you've just spent $1500 on data. Makes that $15 unlimited data plan seem like a pretty good idea, huh?

Wait for the LG Vue. That should be out within a month and you can probably save a bit with a renewal.
