I've had this phone for 2 years and it's never let me down. I really like how skinny it is, even with a case on it. This is by far my favorite phone so far...I'm getting a new phone next month but I'm definitely keeping this one too. I hardly ever see anyone else with it either, which I like.

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.

Pros: Everything!! looks, camera, music player i was amazed as to how many features this phone hasCons: Battery life, had sever mechanical problemsSummary: I had this phone for 15 months and had absolutly no problems with it, none what so ever.

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.

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.
