LG T580

Well, this will be a short one. This is one of the phones I've had in my "input queue" for a relatively long time. The problem is that even though this is a touch phone, it's just a dumb phone with some proprietary software.

Honestly, I still can't understand the purpose of these phones. They have closed firmware with very limited or non-existent possibilities for installing or customising anything except the wallpaper. I can understand classic phones with a phone keyboard that can only be used for calling, writing text messages and setting calendar events. But who is the target market for this kind of touch phone that can do the same thing? When you want a touch phone, you probably want a multipurpose phone. And when you want a basic phone, it's definitely more practical to have a standard phone keyboard. Does anyone know of any practical uses for these phones?
