Better than nothing

4 Oct 2009 Mckayla

8 out of 10

This is a nice phone, better than not having a cell phone at all. I have noticed that the battery doesn't last very long, but that isn't something that bothers me. It does overheat as well while I'm texting, but it could be worse.

One of the only things that really bothered me was that you have to actually buy the games in order to play them. I would've liked it more if at least came with one game for free.

As for the picture quality, I've seen better, but it's still has fairly good quality.

The menu is very stylish, and I really like the variety of ringtones it already has.

All in all, I really like this phone. :)

Pros

better-than-average picture quality, stylish menu, good variety of ringtones, Celltop

Cons

Small problem of overheating, little-bit-better-than-average battery life, buying the games

i hate this phone so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the first day that i got it i called someone to make sure it was working and when i checked my calls log it said No ID January something and to this day it continues to do this, the battery dies quick and the phone overheats a lot when im texting while its not charging or on the phone talking to people. i would suggest you not to get this phone and try your best to get anything other than this. this may be the worst phone LG has made yet.

Pros

nothing

Cons

pretty much everything it freezes dies quick bad quality poor pictures bad sound

Connected all by itself and cost me minutes

I got my first one of these in February of 2009. I loved the style, and some of the features. I REALLY wanted this phone to work for me! I noticed after the first few days that when it was laid down on the table unplugged from the charger the lights on it just came on all by themselves. I opened the phone and the arrows were on as if it was connected to something. I tried turning it totally off, removing the battery etc and putting it back together but at least once every fiove mins or so it did it again. When I got my next bill I looked and it was doing some data connection all by itself all day all night and cost me over 60 dollars in overages on my bill. Alltel did adjust my bill and I got a new one of this phone. Two days later the same thing, connecting by itself.

As I said I REALLY liked the phone so I got two more of them sent to me to replace it they ALL did this!

Running down my battery, and using my minutes and who knows what it was connecting too. I did not have any backup or reason to have it connect like that.

So after four times of entering my numbers and changing my settings and getting my email set up on each phone I finally gave up.

Pros

Style design P2E buttons

Cons

Connects by itself and used minutes and battery life,
