Favorite part:

"And we're proud of the fact that we don't load Optimus 7 with a lot of "LG apps" or a fancy animated UI which gets old in a few weeks. :-)"

Nice little jab at HTC there.

Good on them for making that choice here, but I'm not giving them too much credit since I have a LG Android phone which has "Facebook for LG" and some stupid LG "App Advisor" thing, neither of which I can uninstall until I get around to rooting the phone. A little more consistency in their corporate policies might be a good move.

It is a nice jab, but it's a WP7 phone, so they _can't_ add a fancy animated UI anyway. Sense is relegated to being a Hub in WP7.

Except HTC Sense is actually usable and the apps HTC ships are useful. Peep, for example, is a great Twitter client for casual users and, unlike TweetDeck, is tightly integrated with People.

Usable is a bit debatable: http://whalesalad.com/blog/incredible-vs-nexus-one/

With that being said, Peep is fairly awesome. It's one of the best Twitter clients I've ever used.

It's a shame LG adds a lot of "LG Apps" on Android phones...
