LG Decoy Review
The LG Decoy for Verizon Wireless is a unique device unlike any other, by offering a detachable Bluetooth headset located in the back of the phone. In doing so, it is targeted to the on-the-go consumer who always wants to be connected wirelessly to a headset, but also offers a convenient place for it to be stored and charged while not in use. Since this is the only device to offer this feature, it stands alone and has no true competition, except that it is a slider-style phone, similar to LG Chocolate and Venus models ...

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.

14. Add another tally to the "good" list

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

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.

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.

i got my phone on june 7. i ordered it through the 1-800 # the first thing i noticed is it was pretty bulky for what it is. my wife has the nv2 and when i put them side by side the nv2 was about the same size and weight :( i really thought that they could have made this phone a lot more thiner i mean it doesn't have a pull out key board like the nv2 nor does it has 2 screens like the nv2.
pros:
looks great
blue tooth
cons:
weight
bulky
blue tooth falls out of my ear
conclusion:
it's a pretty good phone but i think LG could've done better!
