(ok, it is actually eldorado's, but he gave it to me to set up and decided he didn't like it, so i'm keeping it, i think) anyway, it has the full touch screen that is easily customizable, 2 mp camera, OPTIONAL qwerty keyboard (which i like, hard to text on those things sometimes), and takes pretty good videos. it also has mobile tv, although here in west ky the service isn't available yet. and yes, it is 3G, but there again, no 3G in paducah. *sigh* i downloaded opera mini and it is a great little browser. granted, i am not a journalist, but i love to be connected when i am at various events and festivals peddling my wares. example: i can use the VU and run a credit card through paypal, which expands my customer base. i can also tweet live from the event my location so i can be found more easily, or add a quick post to my blog. i'll shut up now, but did everyone understand that i LIKE THIS PHONE? :) although my mouth has been watering every time i hold an iPhone, i am EXTREMELY fond of this ATT LG VU.

The biggest problem we have is that we honestly need training on how to edit video. Do you have any advice on cheap (or free) video editing equipment?
