This phone worked good when new. It looks really nice and takes good pictures. Sound quality is good. But if it breaks don't get one from ebay bidallies he sells bad phones and then give all kinds of excuses. He will not do anything unless you give him a positive rating. You have no other choice he does not do emails and will harass you on the phone.





nice looking good pictures good reception
battery life and scratches easily

LG AX8600(Alltel)

I have gone through 3 of these phones. Call me crazy, but it was my only option at the time. I now own a Moto Rokr z6m, and it's ok so far. My ax8600's were all crappy. I had my first one for 2 weeks and it started shutting down and doing other unnecessary things. Alltel ripped me off anyways by giving me my second one, which was a refurbished one and was warped on the front and the Bluetooth didn't even work. On all three of these, the screens starts going out whenever it vibrated or someone called. The external keys would stay on until I restarted the phone, and the cameras on all of them went blurry and had green lines running through them. Alltel informed me that they were discontinued and they could not furnish me with another one, so out of my pocket, I had to pay for my current phone. On my third one, it accidently was run over by a truck, but that didn't cause much damage besides cracking the chrome. Other than that, it was a stylish phone and I really liked it.

Jus ran out of my one year warranty and now when ever I open the phone - the screen goes blank. They won't repair it even though the Alltel Rep said the wires are bad inside where it flips open.


I can't text with one hand because it is so long.
