Almost Perfect

DataPilot does allow you to transfer MP3's to the phone. All you have to do is Go to the Ringtone Composer. Go to Communication, then Send Ringtone File. Then browse for the MP3 file you want to transfer.

The post about transfering data is wrong. I recently bought this phone through Alltel with a two-year contract. I wanted to be able to download / upload data to and from the phone as well. The data transfer kit from LG is about $40-$50. It seemed a little over-priced, so I bought the data cable from eBay for $5 and the software from Susteen.com. The software is called DataPilot (about $31 after 10% discount) and works with many new phones. I have been able to transfer pictures to my computer, as well as upload unique ringtones, and download the entire phonebook to an MS Excel looking format. DataPilot claims that you can transfer MP3's / sound files to the phone and use them as ringtones, but I have yet to find this feature available (which is bad because that's half the reason why I went through all the trouble of getting the phone hooked up to my computer!). The phone's keypad is very nice and easy to use. The camera takes good quality photos, but the shutter has a delay of about two seconds. It's only good for still objects. The biggest design flaw is that you can't have the phone ring and vibrate at the same time on a normal volume level. It always reads "Manner Mode" at the top the screen when vibrate is turned on. I would rather just see the small icon at the top of the screen indicating that vibrate is on instead. The TFT screen has good colors and clarity. The outside display is only on for about 6 seconds after you open and close the phone, or if a button on the side of the phone is pressed. I wish it were on all the time. If I had a chance buy a cell phone again, I might have gone with the LG VX8300 from Verizon. It has more of the features I wanted for about the same price. With Alltel, you can change your plan at any time without a contract renewal and they have more coverage than Verizon. Verizon's coverage is good for cities, Alltel's is good for all around. That's why I sided with the LG AX355 and Alltel. Thanks for reading!

Thumbs up to durability. Thumbs down to transferring pictures from the phone to you PC - can't be done without the data plan (nor Bluetooth or Data Cable works).
