From: Atlanta, GA (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: This phone looks really good which is one of the reasons that attracted me to buy it. the display is great and it is pretty easy to use.

Cons: I didn't like the battery life. it is very short, but it could be because i've had it for almost two years.

Summary: Overall, this is a good phone, but you will need to buy new batteries at regular intervals.

Experience: 15 Months
Pros: Everything!! looks, camera, music player i was amazed as to how many features this phone has

Cons: Battery life, had sever mechanical problems

Summary: I had this phone for 15 months and had absolutly no problems with it, none what so ever. Then one day the "END" botton, the camera, and the speaker just would not work. i could not turn my phone on or off or use the camera and speaker so i had to get a new one but other than that one inncident i love this phone and would reccomend it to anybody and everybody. its a great buy.

Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Camera is decent. The look is slick. Nice finish. Blue Tooth PIM sync, and file transfer is fantastic with a large SD micro.
Voice dial is nice.

Cons: Battery life is horrible. Never overcharge the battery as you will get 18 hours of standby after this. Blue tooth device connections have had to be re-added more than once.(headset,PC). Speaker phone only works after a call is started. Access to SD Micro requires you to remove the battery, hence shutting off phone if not connected to power. Not a droppable phone. No music playback controls on the front. VX8300 was much better for that.

Summary: I recommend getting a phone with a extended battery. Especially for this one.

Awesome phone

By: Sarah Kessler on Sunday, November 04, 2007
From: Butler, PA (United States)
Experience: 2 Days
Pros: reliable phone, cool features, long battery life for being so slim and having so many features.

Cons: Can't think of any...

Summary: After trying the chocolate (blah) and the Moto krzr (even worse) I decided to splurge a little and get a good phone. I have only ever had LGs and have had good experiences with them, so I got this one. So far It is by far the best one I have had. Good voice quality, better than the norm ringtones, I really like the front view of the clock...and when you open it it has a neat little show for ya. Im impressed so far and hopefully will stay that way. The number pad is easy to use and large as well.
