    Help Can it be used without a sim card?

    I'm on AT&T and have been off contract with them for 7 years, I really don't ever wish to renew my contract with them considering their customer service among other things. I don't even want to start paying for the data plans considering the caps and the un-fair price for them ($25 for 2GB!)...

    Thrive's "hidden" FM tuner

    Although many websites list this phone as having FM, the LG website and AT&T's website do not, for some reason. FM capability is not addressed in the 97-page User Manual, and the one reference on the AT&T website (a tutorial for the Thrive) specifically says "The LG Thrive (P506) does not have...
