Best phone I have had, for the first 6 months!!!

I have had the phone for a year now and for the first 6 months it was great. Then I had the same problem a lot of people are having. The touch screen only works when the sun is in just the position in the sky, or the phone gods are shining down on me. It does not matter how hard you touch, you can push till your finger hurts, and it just won't work.

If the phone had other way to navigate features it would not be as bad. But if your screen is not working, you can't get to your text messages, or phone book, can't view your pics. I live in Virginia, and we can have pretty cold winters. When it is cold outiside, nothing can make the screen work, it totally shuts down. So if you don't have all your contacts memorized, forget it. You will not be able to call them unless you have them programed into the 1 touch dial. It really is a shame, when the phone first came out, it seems like LG hit a homerun. I loved all of it. The MP3 player, the video quality is great, even has a zoom. The only up shot. Verizon just finished the deal with Alltel, so I have access to a larger variety of phones. Think I will stay away from the touch screens this time.

Pros

Solid in your hand, does not feel fragile, great video and picture quality. Good MP3 player

Cons

A touch screen without a touchscreen makes it impossible to navigate.

Me and my phone have a love hate relationship...

Like everyone else has said, when I first got my phone, I loved it. It was the first touch screen phone I've owned and I felt like I was 5 years old and it was christmas time. But then 4 or 5 months later it all starts... It sounds like alot of people are having touch screen issues... Every once in awhile my touch screen will not work, i open up the keypad and try it, it doesn't work either. It won't even let me turn the phone off. So I have to take out my battery, and put it back in. Then it works just fine. Then weird things started happening with my messaging. The previews of messages would be totally different than what the actuall message said. And a few times when I would send a message to a friend, it would take a message from my inbox, and send it to them instead of the i text them... And the tiny scroll bar is sometimes impossible to work with. And the ascending ringtone is horrible...  By the time I manage to get the phone out of my pocket when I hear it rining, the person calling me usually had already hung up... And having to unlock the phone after every time you want to do something is really annoying. And one feature it lacks is putting a lock on your messages so others can't view them. When you lock messaging you can still go look at all the messages you've sent or recieved... You just can't send a message. I would say don't get this phone, but it's already been discontinued... I guess for sucking so bad. The only thing I like is the cool looking design and the touch screen... but the touch screen stops working, and the finish is coming off the phone so it's turning to a silver color.

Pros

Touch Screen
Design
Chat style messaging

Cons

Everything else.
