This phone was awesome for the first week I had it. I've now had it replaced by warranty twice. The 3rd phone works better than the first 2 but it still sucks. I like the idea of it but LG's plan was not well thought out. Although it is better than the Quickfire..... 

Pros

small, you can watch tv if you choose to

Cons

my tv application turns on and off by itself, the charger doesn't fit properly, touch screen barely responds, small icons can cause you to open incorrect functions, can't change text ringtone, my alarm sometimes chooses not to go off when set

OK phone, but not impressive

I've had this phone for six months now. It is a decent basic phone. Call quality is good. I haven't used any of the internet features or watched television on it.

Touch screen sensitivity is very good, but the tv button is located in a terrible spot and can be easily pressed with no intention.

It takes a while to get used to the QWERTY keyboard. Once you get the hang of it, you can text quickly. I have small fingers, though, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone with big fingers.

The microSD slot is located in an inconvenient location, behind the battery. You have to turn the battery off every time you want to access it. Also, the phone runs extremely slow if there is too much data on it, like music or pictures. The camera, on the other hand, is quite decent. The quality for the most part is clear.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. At first, it was a good phone, and I was impressed with it.  After a while, the touch screen gets old and it runs slower.

Pros

Camera
Touch screen
Call quality

Cons

Sluggish
MicroSD card slot
Music and Gallery apps

i got the vu as a valentine day gift from my husband  and like others i loved it at first for maybe the first month or so  now after being replaced 4 times it still is the worst phone ive ever owned,  repacement number 1 got so hot that it burned my leg   called at&t and the customer service was more of a pain in the ass then the phone  after going through all the problems i had  with the phone which besides the overheating  i had dropped calls  if i call something which asks to press 1 the phone automatically calls voice mail and the other call is dropped,  people cannot hear me and often i cant hear them  it sounds choppy and at times the echo is painful,  i told this to the first csr at at&t  they put me on hold and after 10 minutes i was switched to tech support,  went through the rigamaroo with them,  which took another 20 minutes  was then told to hold they would put me through to handset support   explained the whole thing yet again  and mid call was cut off   called back and had to go through the same bullshit again      finally was told they would replace my then brand new phone  but with a refurbished one   i said what the hell im not sending a refurbished phone it was then only a month old    ive went through this 4 times  im now on my 5th refurbed replacement    i asked at&t if i could swap this phone out since so many problems have happened and judging from these boards these are common issues    but they said they cant  because they only replace what is sent to them     so im now having the same old issues with phone # 5 and i cant afford to buy a whole different phone    i would never recommend this phone to anyone  not even my worst enemy  it is a total piece of junk   expensive junk   even when working this phone sucks   you cant buy animated graphics for it so its the same old boring wallpaper   phone all around stinks  buyer beware
