esteem price raise

I was just on metro's website and the Esteem is back up to $330. I'm wondering if they did that to try and drive people to buy the connect. From what I've heard the connect hasn't been selling all that well. They are keeping the connect price at 249 while raising the Esteem's price, even though the Esteem lacks the internal power of the connect.
 
There is a reason why the esteem is so much more than the connect. I believe the connect should be more than the esteem due to the fact that it is a more advanced phone(Or is it?) than the esteem. I honestly consider the esteem a better phone with due to the fact that the connect feels cheaply made.
 
I swung by metro to play with the connect earlier and they didn't have a working floor model but dudes cool so he pulled one from the back and turned it on and everything for me....and I gotta say......my review on it..... I like the screen.....not the size but the quality of it..... end of my review Ahaha
 
I want to see a phone that will beat the esteem in size and quality. Android 4.0 but no 4G. Dual core processor but physical buttons/ small screens. Honestly I think we got a good deal with our phones. It does what I need it to do and is large enough do I can read everything. If only w had an ice cream sandwich update
 
metro raise the price on the other lg also, but knowing metro you know there's a good reason why they doing it.

I loved it.

Just pray you get a good one. I had 2 of them before I got the Esteem. the first one didnt pick up 4G even after a PRL upgrade recommended from the corp store. upon not fixxing the issue i purposely bricked it to get a working replacement by telling them the update caused it. The replacemnt had a glitched system that wouldnt reboot with out a battery pull and the shut down animation was a glitched mess. After a week it was in force close hell and it was stuck in a boot loop.

It was an awesome phone (not as cool as the esteem though) overall but I was unlucky to get 2 duds

that garbage still cant compete with the Esteem, they really need to up their game on hardware. I can't ever go back to a smaller screen.
