I got this phone for Christmas over a year ago and I don't like it. It started out great but it kept getting slower and slower. It's not like i was using all the memory or anything because I didn't even load songs onto it. The "touch screen" is better than buttons for me but its slow and most of the time you have to push it more than once. I have recently had trouble with calls too. One day it just stopped working at all and the next day it was fine. I have never had a problem with an LG phone until this one and its really frustrating to use. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone unless you really like the chocolates because it is better than them in a way.

12. Quit whining its a good phone

I just got a Venus and so far its a great phone. All the good stuff that people are saying about it is true, but for those that whine that the touchscreen is too slow or that you have to touch the screen twice sometimes, or that you can't get through the menu's at warp speed please listen to yourselves. Its like complaining that that the flight you took didn't have a smooth landing, or that it was 30mins late, or when the light goes green the car in front of you hesitates 1 second. We had rotary phones only a few decades ago, and you complain your compact, touch screen, fits in your pocket cell phone is laggy! give me a break! quit taking things like this so much for granted, you sound like spoiled brats.

I got this phone for Christmas and I can't complain. Mine doesn't freeze. Every so often it'll say that the sending of my text has failed but all I have to do is try it again and it will send. The only thing that I absolutly hate about the venus is how the chrome around the sides is chipping off =/ and the one thing that I haven't had any problems with is calling people, which is good because that's the main use for my phone.

15. I HATE the Venus

I really really dislike the Venus phone. I have had it about 5 months and it is already scrathched terribly and the paint on the number keys is already wearing off so I can't see the numbers. The touch screen is SLOW and freezes up. You usually have to press the screen two or three times before it goes to the menu. I love to text but, as a few other reveiws mentioned, it freezes up when you try to text. I have gotten a replacement phone but I am giving it away and going back to my old phone. DO NOT buy the venus, it is a waste of money.
Good Design
SmallThe touch screen is not sensitive enough
Freezes up when texting
Paint on keys wears off
screen scratches easily

I like the idea of this phone but I hate the fact that I need to replace the phone every other month because it freezes when I text! It is ridiculous I am a heavy texter and this starts to become really irritating. Every verizon phone I have had has fell apart after a few months and I take care of my phones! Don't waste your time with this phone they have came out with better.
Cool design I like the touch screen, Love the Pink design.It freezes and takes really slow pictures

this phone is mostly looks, the features are decent, for what verizon wireless doesnt lock out. the phone is sensitive it will break if you are hard on it. i see a lot of these phones, and i work on a lot of these. they break down over time pretty bad

This is the best phone I have ever purchased! I recently received an upgrade from Verizon for a new phone. The current phone I had was a samsung sch-a930, a hard phone to live up to due to the mp3 function and great design. I wanted a phone with a little bit better signal strenth and was a little thinner. After reading the reviews I chose to uprade to the moto w755(slate). After making one 10 min phone call on the 755 the battery was halfway used, after a full charge of course. The signal was AWFULL! I sent the phone back after two days for a refund. I was looking to purchase the LG Decay but I would of had to pay $50 bucks, and with the bad econcomy, money is tight right now. So I opted for the LG venus since I had to upgrade my plan. Best decision I have ever made. The phone has an excellent signal. I live in a bad coverage area but I have not dropped a call yet. The bettery lasts forever. The fact that you can call with out sliding the phone open is awsome to. Perfect for on the go. If texting is your thing, this phone is much better than a flip phone because the buttones are a great size and it is easy to hold. The only draw back to this phone I would say is when you are out in the sun. very hard to see. But for the $150 price tag it is the best phone ever.
Buy it! don't get the Env2, way to heavy and that front screen is so pixalated, my boss has it.
