Good looks, slick interface - best LG phone to dat

6 Oct 2009 ChrisShark

9.7 out of 10

Had this phone a week now, absolutely loving it.  Amazingly stylish, stands out from the all of other iPhone clones.



Screen is very reactive, and the only thing I would have liked is a back button on the front somewhere, but that would have compromised the looks.



The camera is excellent, particularly the 360 panoramic shots.  Some reviews have criticised the lack of haptic feedback - but you can actually change the settings so it has it.



The browser isn't quite as good as Opera Mini, but is a lot better than some of the others.  And it has Flash Lite, which is a real plus.



You can also customise the menus extensively, if that's your kind of thing.



Messaging works very well, with the full qwerty keyboard in landscape and t9 input portrait.



Video playback is superb, supporting multiple file types and the obvious benefits of full widescreen.



Battery life is a lot better than the iPhone, but will still require charging often if you use it heavily (which you will!) 





Design, responsive touchscreen, video playback, vibrant colours, customisable, wi-fi, gps, hsdpa, call quality
Browser, sound effects strange

This Phone sucks!

I feel that this phone helped me in no way. As well as the sleek feature causing me to drop it into the toilet. On a serious note i went through a series of glitches. If your looking for a phone with a big screen go with the HTC Imagio. I used to believe at one time that LG phones were the awesome, but recently its like they hired a bunch of knuckleheads to make phones for us Americans.
