i was one of the first to get this phone and i loved it at first, but after a while of useing its a cheap phone. ive had att for ever and ive always loved them but im not to excited about this phone. the first phone the speaker went so that i couldnt use speaker phone or listen to music. so after i got that replaced the new one is kinda just falling apart. dont get me worng this is a great phone for the internet the 3g is amazing but not for texting, the screen will get stuck 1/2 between reg. text and 1/2 between qwerty keyboard.
as the texter i am, i wouldnt recommend this phone .. personaly im going for either the matrix or quickfire.

This is the first touch screen phone I've ever had, and I really like it. The menus are easy to navigate and all the features are fairly easy to find. My husband has a Samsung Eternity and some features are kind of hard to find 'cuz the menus are a little confusing. I like the virtual qwerty keyboard, the touch screen is just the right sensitivity, scrolling is easy. I don't use it for the internet much, but the couple of times I did it was easy. I don't watch TV on it even though that's this phone's big feature. I think this is a great phone. It has a 2.0 megapixel camera which takes decent pictures. There's no flash, but if you want a flash, get a CAMERA!
Lightweight
Touch screen sensitivity just right
Easy to navigate menus
Easy to scroll
Camera easy to useDoesn't give much warning when battery's dying, it just dies!

13. Decent for a multimedia device. Mediocre for a phone.

I already found my dream phone, which I will review eventually. But I went over to AT&T just to check things out and got the LG Vu for experiment purposes. Nice as it is, I wont keep it.
Apologize in advance for my pics. Am using an 8 year old camera (which works suprisingly well compared to many modern cameras) and never learned much about photography. I do know I need better lighting but I dont feel like setting all that up just for an informal review.
BUILD:
Slick. I never thought a phone was "sexy". I think girls are sexy, especially their toes. But phones are just "easy on the eyes" or "not easy on the eyes" to me. I do think this phone is nice though. Its an iPhone ripoff to be sure, but I like it better. Its much slimmer and lighter. Glossy black plastic body with a silver rim.

Its a simple bar design and quite thin. No sliding keyboard or anything. Almost all functions are done on the touch screen.
Solid feel all over, but its certainly not a durable phone. The whole thing is a fingerprint magnet and I suspect the screen may scratch easily. I hate cameras on phones but this one is flush with the back and you will never notice it during normal handling.

Three sides are blank, the right side has a single data port which also handles the charger and wired headphones (included). Right side also has a small volume rocker, dedicated camera button, and lock button.

Front is beautiful. Screen takes up most of the face, with a little room on the bottom for the tiny Send & End buttons, which you will rarely use. Almost everything is done from the touch screen. There are 4 buttons found along the bottom of the home screen, Menu, TV, Contacts, and Call.
The call button brings up your numerical keypad, and its plenty big enough for large fingers.

The device lights up well in the dark, and you can adjust the brightness level & timeout settings.

BATTERY:
OK, but not great. Its to be expected from such a powerful phone thats also small and low weight. I guess they figure you will be charging this thing at work and in your car. Which is funny because they didnt include a car charger and you need a special one to work with this devices proprietary plug. Its not even the same as all of the other LG's micro-usb phones.
INTERFACE:
You can easily change themes between black, blue, butterfly and fish.

If you choose to not use a wallpaper the fish & butterfly themes have moving objects on the homepage.

If you only want something simple and basic its best to go with the Onyx theme and no wallpaper. But this makes the homepage a little too relfective (you can see my camera). http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/shortylickens/10_Home_Onyx_NoWallpaper.jpg
Some folks complained about this device being useless in the sun but I was able to enjoy all its functions with no issues. Fish theme looks best outside.

15. LG Vu is a phone not a toy!

I traded a 3G iPhone for the LG Vu. I'm not sorry one bit, the sound quality is 100% better than the iPhone. The battery on the iPhone would not make it through the day, this one has gone two full days and still showing a full battery. The touch screen is fine, after adjusting it to your personal touch. The camera has a optical zoom and editing program on board. Features of the phone are outstanding. After 16 years of owing cell phones this is without doubt the best phone I have owned.

I really love the simplicity of this device. I also love the ease of use! It's also very appealing to the eye in terms of the phone itself and what's displayed on the display. Nice mobile tv. good texting.

This phone is a very entertaining phone. I've had since it first came out and I love it. Its got a great qwerty pad and I love the tv and the media net. If u don't want a iphone then you should go with the vu.

18. LG Vu Awesomeness

Overall as a cell phone the Vu is amazing. I get service in places my previous phone never did and once i calibrated the screen to my fingers i had no problems with the touch sensitivity even when the key board display was out for messaging . This phone is also surprisingly resilient as, i have dropped it many times now getting out of my car and it still works great. However, as a multimedia player, my iphone is superior even though it doesn't support stereo blue-tooth which is a feature I love on the Vu (blue-tooth headset + Vu= amazing sound quality).
Small, Light, durable, supports stereo blue tooth,
overall good cell phonenot really customizable, wish it supported more video formats

ive had 40 phones in the last 2 years and this by far was the worst from no service any weres to the touch has to be hit like 20 times to repond and most of the time when texting the wront letter pops up. so i would never tell any one to get ths phone. for the cost go for a really touch phone iphone or samasung omnia.
