Waste of Money

This is by far the worst phone verizon has ever come out with. Its extremely slow even with the upgrade. It takes forever to send and receive text messages. The sides chip like its nothing, the whole sliding top portion comes loose and eventually falls off, the buttons are SO slow and takes a year to navigate anywhere, its not sturdy at all, the battery life sucks, I've come close to throwing it out my window and I've had to replace it FOUR, yes four times. Stuck with a two year contract and I can't buy a new one. Worst mistake in my life and they wont let me upgrade to a new phone.

Pros

Texting was easy with the number pad

Cons

Slow everything.

This phone is the biggest piece of crap I have ever spent money on!

1. The sides chip off and it now looks terrible and the screen is scratched beyond belief.

2. Now for the second time my phone will not call anyone or text anyone yet I have perfect service. It says CALL FAILED!!! TRY AGAIN. I have tried taking the battery out and turning it off and it does not work. This should not happen with a phone!

3. It will freeze in picture mode and then convienently shut off.

Most I do not mind except for 2. This is a real problem. I pay for a phone service in order to call people and have them be able to call me. This is my pnly phone and not having it work is not ok.

Advice for LG: Make phones that work. Stop trying to rip off the iPhone because clearly it does not work!
