Well good luck getting an Ascend or an Optimus if you were in the market for either. The only way to get them now is with stores that still have them in stock. They are no longer available even online. Hopefully this will mean new phones coming sooner than expected...I am personally looking forward to the Samsung Admire, and the LG Bryce (Esteem)..While the Samsung has good specs...still no flash on the camera well at least the ones that Cellular South have does not. The ones that were branded for Metro that i have seen online had a LED Flash...so lets keep our fingers crossed. From what i have seen of the Esteem is that its the same as the LG Revolution..just has 4gb of internal memory instead of the 16gb that the revolution has...still awesome specs for a 4g phone under 400 bucks...
