1. Oldie but Goodie!

This was my phone for over two years and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Sure it sucks compared to the phones of today and the features are pathetic, but I never had a single problem with it. I recently got a new phone (LG Dare) and honestly like this one a lot more. I'm looking for a updated version of a phone like this, and am leaning toward the 750 or the Chocolate 3. If all else fails I guess I can always go back to this bad boy!
- Awesome basic phone all around
- Good call quality
- No gadgets/gimmicks that could possibly fail
- TOUGH AS NAILS!!! I dropped this phone numerous times and it still looks good as new- Photo quality leaves something to be desired
- I wish it had a separate key for the speaker phone

I have had this phone for almost 2 years. Got it free whe my son got a motorazer. This phone worked better than his phone any day. Kept a charge for a week at a time. No dropped calls and nothing went wrong with the screen. Upgraded to a Krazer this week and the battery in it didn't last a day. Not good. Thinking of going back to my old phone which is still in great shape!!!!!

5. ... AHHHH

This phone is very troubling to me. It's the only phone i've ever owned, but soon after i got it, i quickly became interested in others. The design was ok, the keys were mediocre, camera kinda sucked. I had this phone for about 6 months, but then it broke because i accidentally dropped it in the poo. Obviously my fault, but then when the company sent me another one, it just kept breaking and breaking. Iim glad they discontinued this one

6. I wouldn't buy it again.

In the two years I had this phone I had it replaced twice.
Minor things like the screen staying blue and the phone ringing while on silent I could deal with. But then in the middle of me sending a text msesage it completely froze and wouldn't get off of the startup screen.
THEN another time the screen would be black when I opened it, and like someone else said, it worked better after throwing it at the wall.

7. Its An OK Phone

I had minor issues with this phone. Not to the point of wanting an exchange. But they are annoying. First the display would be blue or white when I would flip it open, easily fixed either by closing it or shutting it off. Then it started to ring while on silent for either text messages or just someone calling. Other than that, its a sturdy phone. I threw it against a tree a couple weeks ago, and it works great. Actually works better.

8. bad phone? or has it been reviewed by ignorant fools?

This is a very good phone, to all the users who complain about features wearing down battery life, what is your problem? if you dont use the features, they dont wear down anything! My battery last 3 days without the phone being turned off, or charged at all. Then to the ones that complain about its size...the phone size is fine, if you cant handle it's size, it's because you are a moron. go back to carrying a briefcase phone and a car battery if you cant handle having a decent sized phone. As for the dropped calls, that doesnt happen unless your in A) Prison B) the subway or C) you tried using your phone while you were swimming. all which are your fault and prove how retarded you are.

9. Loud LCD Screen
20 Feb 2006 by livingnc

My major pet peeve with this phone, and the reason I exchanged it, is that the LCD screen emits an annoying high pitched sound. The best way to describe it is a high pitched whine with a splash of white noise. Granted most LCDs carry a certain amount of noise, but this was loud enough that it made listening to calls specially difficult. The background noise emitted made people sound muffled.
As far as everything else goes I liked the phone, easy to use, has adequate features for its price range.

10. not a bad cell phone...

I bought one for half price and got a second one free. It does everything I want and is very easy to use, even my wife can figure out how to use it without my assistance. The resolution of the camera and the display is not very good, but I'm not into the hi-tech gadgets with lots of bell's and whistle's. $50.00 for two phones, you can't beat it. I don't have problems with receptions and drop calls. But, I am concern about battery life. LG's are notorious for faulty batteries. Hope they fixed it by now.
