So....
I did love this phone for awhile, it used to work wonderfully. I have it in green. It was pretty amazing for awhile, it held charge, I got signal in the basement of my dorm, I had signal everywhere, which was quite the change from the razor I'd had before. I even left it in a snow pile over night and it worked great! But then about a month before I came home for the summer the hinge broke and it would click anytime I opened it, the screen goes white, the front screen will turn backwards and upside down and shake, it shuts off randomly, drops all of my calls, I never have signal in the basement of my own home (which wasn't a problem until this summer), and the front clock will not be visible and when I try to call when this problem is happening it tells me I don't have service. It has now become the worst phone I've owned. I haven't even had it for a full year. I plan on going into Alltel and getting a new phone because thankfully I have insurance. It's just become a frustrating situation because the phone was wonderful for awhile and then just got crappier and crappier as time went on. I won't say I haven't dropped it because I have, but really I had a case and a cover, you'd think it wouldn't damage it, but no no it's ruined. The hinge is completely broken so the phone falls open and I have accidentally called many people around 4 in the morning. All in all I'd have to give the advice of not getting this phone, there's nothing special about it.

I've had this phone for 9 months. Battery life is good on standby, but if you use it at all, it drains down quick or if you're in fringe areas and it's searching for signal, it also drains quick. Call quality is not that great either. I'm dissapointed that I have to go through the menu system to change from ring to vibrate. My last motorola had a side button to change it. Don't like the voice dialing either. Way too many procedures to go through just to voice dial.

Now for the worst thing yet. The other day I opened my phone to answer a call and the screen was 2/3's gone. It appears that it cracked inside and the screens shot. I bought this phone because it was small and slim and I specifically told them I wanted a phone I could keep in my back pocket. When it broke, they told me I shouldn't keep it in my pocket. >bangs head< I'm really dissapointed in this phone and will be buying a refurb of something else until my contract is up.

Hate It!!!

I have the Blue one and will not hold a charge one bit! Then after two years of the same phone, the charging port in the phone quits working and becomes very loose!! So i have to hold it in place for it to charge!! Note to anyone who has this phone ( blue in particular) and is coming up to two years be very careful with the CHARGING DOCK!!

I've had this phone for about 6 months and haven't had the issues people are talking about here. I have had to replace it once because it suddenly wouldn't make or receive any phone calls. My brother has the same phone and has had no issues yet. However, I have a friend whose charging port is destroyed and also the battery drains when in "fringe zones" (areas with poor signal in between towers), so that sucks.

Not the best phone by any means, I just hope it will last another 18 months until the contract is up and I can get a new phone

I have four of these phones and they all have problems they shut off when you try to download ringtones.The screen actually pops out of one of the phones. Another phones hinge is broken. One phone the battery port came loose and wouldn't charge. So we took it back to the store. They gave us a loner phone and said they would send ours away to be repaired. After about 4 weeks we got a letter saying our phone was back but was not repaired even though still under warranty. The people at the store were rude. I told the salesperson that if Alltel Is going to put their customers in a 2 year contract they should sell a piece of equipment that lasts for 2 years. They told me that Alltel is not in the business of selling phones they were providing a service. Well if that was true then you could buy any type of phone anywhere and just hook up to Alltel. But no! You have to buy an Alltel phone to hook up with Alltel! Also they sell crappy phones and you have to buy another one every 6 or 8 months. So during your 2 year contract you buy several phones. Don't tell me that Alltel is not making money selling phones. Also if Alltel is not in the business of selling phones then the should give you one to us for their service. Like the land phone companies used to do. I bet those phones wouldn't be constantly breaking. LG needs to start making better phones. Also you get better help if you call the company and deal with Alltel over the phone instead of going in to the store and dealing with the sales people. Maybe because your phone call is monitored and those people have to treat the customers better. These are the worst phones I have ever owned. Alltel should eat this one not the customer.
