Okay so I work at verizon and I have watched the most spoiled kids come into my store with that phone, kids who do not deserve the phone, just because they bug theyre parents because they are rich, i finally went out and got it, and love the phone!!!!!!! it is my best phone next to my blackjack2!!!



Now on that other note!!!


ALL and I mean all, except for my coworker who has seen actual defects, i have seen people come in with this phone, I have had cellphones since the end of time and if your good with your phone it will be good, but i swear the customers i get coming into my store are idiots, i see people walking in with water leaking out and they go off and blow up because we cant replace it, they think the phones a pos, but in reality its a pos because you made it a pos, out of the 100 customers i see in a day, 99.9% of them have user errors or physical damage, all the reps at the store will tell you the same, we dont have problesm with our phones, you know why because we see the what happens when you dont treat it nice, buy a case and use it properly!!! stop whining about the slow txt capability because all phones do it, its a lag, yes, but if your taking it into for that, then you have some serious problems this phone is an excellent model, jeesh...come on people, do you treat your kids like you treat your car??? Of course not, you think the carriers should just give you free phones, grow up and meet reality!!!

oh and fyi.....you people complain about refurbished phones but guess what if we stop refurbished phones OHHH guess what the phone prices go up, and i dont know about you, but ID LIKE TO NOT HAVE THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET A PHONE TOO AND BECAUSE OF YOUR WHINING AND COMPLAINING WE WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE IF THEY STOP RECONDITIONING PHONES, HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT??

Having getting my frutration out from some of the comments on phones on here, its worth your money!!!!!!!!

BADD/GOOD!

Ok so i work at a premiere agent for verizonwireless. This phone is great. It has everything you could imagine. Im talkin 2.0mp camera. MicroSD slot. Mp3 player(which dont sound half bad). A descent sized screen. The list goes on. My question is... has anyone had the chance to really sit down and use this phone and its features? It is a pain in the rear. The touch navigation keys are rediculous. You have to be right on for it to actually hit the key your trying to hit. Not to mention the display feels like its going to collapse into the phone. I am a huge fan of Lg becuase i see so few of them have problems compared to the others. If you like sliders, are very gentle on phones, and can handle the picky touch screen. Then this phone is great for you.
