i just got my Decoy yesterday..... wow it's a lot bigger

than i thought it was going to be...phone arena says it's 4.0 x 2.0 x 0.7 (102 x 50 x 17 mm) and 4.0oz.
hhmmm it the envy2 is the same size if not alittle smaller. wow i got a tough call to make between lg decoy-lg venus-lg envy2 i was thinking of the glyde but i don't think i would like the touch screen... my wife has the envy2 i like but i don't know about the keyboard i don't text that often.. what do you alll think?

How do you already have the Decoy? It doesn't come out until later this month.. June 16th I believe?

yeah sorry i didn't get back to you sooner... i call verizons 800 # and called 3 time until i talk to a guy who knew what i was talking about and sent it out to me.

Are you kidding? So you just asked and they randomly sent you the phone before it came out in stores?

no joke i had to talk to like 3 people before i got someone that would do it.

That's insane. Can I hire you to buy all my new phones for me? I don't understand how they allowed this to happen. I guess it goes to show that there is always room for negotiation!

Next up... call VZW relentlessly and see if you can get any information out of them about other upcoming phones/devices!

By the way how are you liking your Decoy after having it for a week plus now?

it's been growing on me. there is a few things i don't like about it but for the most part i do like it.

i'm not usen the blue tooth as much as i thought i would.
the front is a reflective sheen to it so you can't see it at all if you are outside... it show every little scratch and smudge on it.
the slider is difficult to slide open because there is nothing for my finger to grip to to slide it open. if i had sticky fingures i wouldn't have a problem but i like my hands dry and clean! lol
