Really nice phone

6 Dec 2009 Anonymous

10 out of 10

I love this phone. I bought an lg banter and i just ended up going right back to my lg glimmer within a month. I love the touch. I have had no problems what so ever and I've had it for a year. I love the spacious screen and it takes pictures awesomely. I love how it has different fonts for your letters. I love the durability, too. I can throw it clear across the room and it won't leave a scratch, come apart, or ruin it in any way, shape, or form! Rock on, LG! U.S. Cellular, keep climbing that ladder to the top!

Pros

Everything!

Cons

Nothing, really.

My LGUX830 liked to sing but it's out getting fixed. AGAIN

The first sign for me that this phone would be trouble was the 2nd week I had it, when I put my phone on “all silent”. I like to see what calls I’ve missed, so I leave it on but silent. Yeah well imagine my surprise when I was in church and during the serious quite part my phone starts playing ZOMBIE’s DRAGULA. I was looking around thinking “who’s the total ass that didn’t silence their phone before church?!” Me. I was the total ass. “All silent” doesn’t include the MP3 player. Quite surprising the phone could navigate the 8 steps it takes to get to that song in my pocket easier then it was by hand touching the screen. Oh, and after 6 months my screen went to hell in a hand basket as well. Sometimes when I’d touch left, it would pick up on the right, but ultimately, couldn’t do a damn thing but answer in coming calls. Couldn’t call out because I don’t have all those numbers in my head… and I don’t tote my phone book everywhere. Loved the key pad for texting, because I can text with one hand without looking (don’t like the idea of qwery for me that requires 2 hands. I’m bummed most phones only have qwery now) Loved the features on this phone with US Cellular, especially the internet access with just the Easyedge and not having to pay for “Premium Internet” & it was nice and beefy sturdy phone. Only fell apart once when I dropped it. Didn’t have trouble with the lock, I just slid it open and it unlocked automatically. If they ever put this phone out again with the touch screen problem fixed, I’d buy it again. Maybe.

Ps - and it used to mute itself in the middle of conversation, and everyone would be hanging up on me.

Pros

Great programming and features
Completely Customizable
Fun to play with till the trouble starts
Took nice pictures
Sends large files
EASY to save music, picture,s etc from texts
Easy to use and figure out

Cons

ring tones??? (once you load your own in & change them, the ring tones are no where to be found) I’m lucky I know how to make my own ring tones.
The screens on ALL of them fail eventually, and quite fast!
The battery doesn't last very long.

This is a terrible a phone. This is the phone that i wanted but my mom got it before me and im soooo happy she did. We have U. S Cellular, great company but bad phone choice. This phone is sooo cute but LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!The touchscreen went out constantly, she had to keep taking it back to the store so they could send it off to be fixed. The touchscreen was very unresponsive. The phone could of had a bigger screen. It was soo hard to text on. My mom has long nails and i dont. My fingers are kinda fat too, so i kept pushing other buttons than the one's i wanted to push. UGHHH!! Well then it got dropped and stop working so my mom had to take my upgrade, Im getting the LG Bliss...HAHA!! stupid phone!!! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! THE RATE IS -1!

Pros

Cute

Cons

EVERY THING ELSE!
