I have had this phone since September 2007. It seemed exciting at first, but now I am sorta tired of it. The music player is great, and even for a cheap speaker, the sound is surprisingly outstanding. The keypad font is easy to read. But, I've had some problems with it since then, here they are:


 


-March 2008: Phone intermittingly shutt off, software update 3.0 installed.


-July 4, 2008: Cracked screen, sent back to LG, new phone for $50.00, contacts/pictures transferred


-August 23, 2008: Won't charge sometimes, charger sent back to LG, free new Home charger


 


I want an upgrade. This phone is OK, but if you don't mind maintenence, get this phone. If you hate maintenence, buy it.

Gets Old After a While...

I've had this phone for 11 1/2 months now and I really want a new phone. At first I absolutely loved it and I couldn't get my hands off it, now its just boring. I wish this phone had more features. The material that the phone is made out of is very glossy and gets fingerprints on it easily. Also gets dented and scratched easily. I love the design and the touch keypad though. The wheel is ok, i hate when it makes that scratching noise. The internet and instant messaging looks weird and is hard to use. Text messaging is OK but takes a long time to write a long text message, i prefer a qwerty keyboard. i havent seen or used the chocolate 3 yet but just by looking at a picture i can tell its not gonna be a top seller.

I just wish verizon had 6 month plans, phones get boring after a while.
