11. shiny face!

24 Jun 2008 by eric

100%10out of 10

every phone i owned i always had a problem with reading it in sunlight, so it's not just this phone it ALL cell phones, LCD displays are hard to read, even my ipod nano is hard to read in sunlight, there is a thin plastic screen cover over the display, you have to peel it off, so dont pay attention to the other review about not being able to see the screen, thats NOT the phone, i dont have any problems reading it out doors. this phone kicks #@. 8.3 rating on cnet, there hasn't been to many reviews yet. still to new. solid phone.

12. What's up with that shiny face?

24 Jun 2008 by Dave

Great phone, but egad! You can't read the screen outdoors! It looks like there is a very thin protective plastic sheet covering just the screen...I wonder if you pulled it off...would you get rid of that awful reflectivity?

Seriously, if you need to use your phone outside, especially if it's sunny, think twice about this phone. The design engineers at LG never took this thing outside and used it.

13. bluetooth headset

23 Jun 2008 by josh

100%10out of 10

this is for the people that are having trouble with the headset not fitting right. take the foam piece of one of your head phones and slip that over the ear piece, this will give it a more snug fit and also a very soft feel, i did this the other day and wore it for 3 hours without problems and without discomfort. try it!! you will love the way it feels, much much tighter! you can buy a ear hook for it from samsung.com $1.99, but i dont think you will need it after you try this. good luck!! it a great phone, dont return it because of the bluetooth,

cnet is spot on with this beauty, 8.3 out of ten. phone is solid by itself but having the bluetooth on the back, great!! have NO problems with the bluetooth, fits perfect, i also use a wep200, i cant stand a bluetooth with a hook! pretty soon you will no longer see hooks and bluetooth headsets. get use to it!! out with the old, in with the new. freeze problems?? #10 what the heck are you talking about, i dont even think you own this phone, lg sucks?? you might want to switch to t mobile then. great phone, great call quality, great features.

16. Add another tally to the "good" list

22 Jun 2008 by Pete

Haven't had a whole mess of time to play with the phone, but after using it for the weekend I love it. I read a couple reviews that said the bluetooth reception was just ok, but I have found no problems with it. I have never had a bluetooth headset before, so I can't compare it with anything other than the fact that nobody I have talked to had any problems with it, and I could hear them just fine. My only gripe with the phone is that I'm not used to the smaller keypad. It's kinda hard now to text while I'm not looking at the phone. The phone is definitely a good buy for someone looking for a good everyday phone that has some tech appeal as well.

This is a great phone from LG. Very innovative by LG by intergrating a bluetooth into the phone. It is a bummer that there is no earloop with the bluetooth. The menu is very user friendly and can easy customer the shortcut keys on it. It's nice being able to push up on the toggle button and have your bluetooth connections there, instead of having to go through the process to get to it before. The phone is very sleek and has a nice appereance to it. The bluetooth also fits very snug in the specific holder on the back and goes good with the look of it. Overall once you get the overall feel for the phone and are able to "customize" your settings, the phone is great and easy to operate

19. way to go lg

not a fan of sliders but lg did a great job on this, bluetooth is as good as any other, but will still use my other one, i look at it this was buy this phone and get a free bluetooth headset. if this phone didnt have the built in bluetooth it would still rock!! got so many compliments at my job, the phone is shiny silver like, nothing i have ever seen. you navigate with a little joystick, it's freaking cool!! takes some time to get use to. go and get this kick #*@ phone, you wont be sorry.

20. great slider phone!!

picked this up the other at Verizon with my 2 year upgrade. I waited because i was going to get the env2 but my friend returned his, he said he was getting to many drop calls and the out display was useless, so i heard this was coming to Verizon, im so glad i waited. The bluetooth isn't the greatest but, it's better then ones that cost $50 or more. sound quality on this is f ing perfect, the speaker phone is better then any other phone i had, LG got it right on sound quality, to me thats all that matters, i got signals where i never was able to get before. four bars all the time, it's great!! it not heavy or bulky, dont know what the other reviewer was talking about, the env2 was heavy and the Voyager is bulky. this phone is a nice size. the front screen is beautiful, the toggle button to navigate through menus is awesome!! it's so easy, NO MORE click, click, click,...i will be keeping this phone for years to come. go out and get one.
