LG KM900 – You’re doing it wrong
As the newest LG KM900 is released, I can't help the thought: LG, you're doing it wrong.
Honestly, I do not feel motivated to write about this phone simply because it is not aimed at mainstream; whoever tells me otherwise is clearly missing on the whole point. Put it this way, a phone isn't really just a phone anymore these days. The market requires customisable and flexible phones, such phones that can be expanded. What is the point of having a next-gen, touch-screen phone if afterwards you can't extend it with third-party applications and functionality?
In my humble opinion, it is safe to say that nowadays, a phone without:
1) Windows Mobile
or
2) Symbian OS
or
3) iPhone OS
is just doomed to extinction and failure. I know I wouldn't buy anything outside that. (I am a proud owner of an iPhone 3G by the way)

maybe they are trying to approach the market on the $$ factor.
From the FAQ about the phone:
“Java 2 Micro Edition (J2Me) is specifically designed for consumer electronics products such as mobile phones. More specifically, the J2ME platform is based on the industry standard Mobile Information Device Profile 1.0 (MIDP 1.0) which provides essential functionality to create applications for mobile phones, such as games, currency converters, maps etc. Java is essentially a programming language that is used to create games and applications. Some mobile phones support downloadable Java applications over a WAP connection. This means you can add to your phone’s functionality by downloading games and applications to your handset to use when you want. This is dependant on the network service provider.”
it’s a poor app extension for a 3.5G phone, but it’s one.
