Ive had this phone for about four months and i started having problems about after two months.first the phone would no longer charge, i would have to switch the batery out everytime it went dead. second the speaker phone stopped working completely and i could only tell if i was getting a call through vibration, and if that wasnt enough more rcently everytime i would get a call the phone would reboot itself. i am now switching to the ax8600 havent received it yet but i know it will be better than the ax380

2. Lousy bluetooth functions

I bought the phone to use with my blue tooth head phones and listen to music. It worked great but now neither LG nor US Cellular want to be any help. I have two blue tooth devices and it either does not recognize or randomly kicks the device off mid conversation. I am extremely disappointed with the complete lack of customer support.

I reviewed cell phones for months looking for a replacement for my LG vx6100 which was a great phone and I had for 4 years. I finally settled on the LG ux380 from U.S. Cellular and everything I read about it is true. Great sound quality, great signal strength, great value for the money, ( I "bought" it from Letstalk for "free" with a mail in rebate.) Great features for what I want which is basically to use as a phone.
Nice smooth design ( with a red/black color) which can be slick which could be easy to drop but I can live with that. I left Verizon after several years to go to U.S. Cellular and so far I notice no difference in performance which is great .

I've had this phone for a while and i had to get it replaced 3 times! First i had a problem with the speakerphone. it wouldnt work correctly. Second time had to replace it because every time i would try to use the camera, the phone would reboot, EVERY TIME. Now the bluetooth doesnt work on this phone and i cant use any bluetooh devices. The price is excellent for the type of phone this is. The signal strength is the same for any other phone i would use so...

Really like my new LG Wave AX380. Well, it was new in October 2007. My previous phone was a Motorola V60 which was top of the line when it came out. But alas it was just the old green screen, no camera and no audio. My new wave has vibrant color, a neat camera and some cool sounds. Course with it I have the same problem that I had with the old one. Slipperiness. Also could not operate either phone one handed UNTIL I got the enclosing case. The case slips over the top and bottom halves with plenty of room to close it. BUT the leather has edges that you can use to easily flip open the phone. And there is NOT an external antenna to worry about. The phone is clean. Course if you get the correct Bluetooth headset you can operate this phone without ever opening the lid. Matter of fact the phone can be in another room.
This phone has so many features and does so much that I'm not sure that I will ever use everything on it. Besides, some of the feature, just like other phones,require additional sign up costs. But, like so many other things they may become free-er in the future annndd I will have a phone that is ready. I am creating a Web Page on this phone at: http://www.trcompu.com/MyCellPhone/MyAX380CellPhone.html
My plans are to put what I find, both on the Net and from experience on this page. Enjoy your Wave ... I am.

7. A few irritating issues...

I read many reviews before choosing this phone with my new Alltel service. I think it is a very nice looking phone and it has great reception in my house, where there used to be none. Unfortunately, I cannot get past a few issues and decided to return it to Alltel for another phone. I am used to a small phone and I like the ability to open it using one hand. I can barely open the phone, even with two hands, because the top flip is very flush to the bottom when closed. There is a camera button on the right side that I hit every time I open the phone because it is situated exactly where I hold my thumb. Although you can change the font size of numbers being dialed, if you want to change of the font when text messaging (it is VERY small) you have to do it for every message you send. Lastly, the lip on the bottom of the phone and the slick buttons make it difficult to text comfortably. I don't use any of the extras on the phone, so it's these little things that matter to me. I am sure others may be able to overlook it, but if someone else had posted these comments it might have changed my initial decision.

8. LOVE IT!!!

Alltel put their love in this little honey of a phone! Had it for over a week now. Upgraded from Motorola e815 (POS machine for sure). LG Wave is Waaaaaaay better. Great Signal strength. Fabulous photos considering its a cellphone. Bluetooth Support w/dongle on my laptop is seamless. Dont use speakerphone function too often but it sounds great. Caller could hear me clearly and I could hear them. No reverb effect at all. Neat little MP3 phone. If youre an Alltel Customer then you definitely need to get this phone.

9. LG has done it, AGAIN!

Great phone, I love the style, the weight, and functionality of the keypad and screen. camera looks pretty good for being a 1.3 mp. bluetooth works with great distances. though the one thing I don't particularly care for, is the hinge action. it is a little stiff, but hopefully it will loosen up some with use. and the fact that it doesn't support GSM technology, it would be the ultimate phone on the nextel network, to hell with the iphone, get a wave/UX480! sure, no touch screen or wifi, but who needs all that when you can have beauty over brick? I advise the purchase of this phone 110%, much like the effort put into making the phone, more than expected again, from your friendly neighborhood LG. now that I think about it, with this phone, Life's Good. (haha (not sarcastic))

10. My new LG Wave

I got the LG wave a few weeks ago, and I love it. My old phone was very basic, so this was a huge upgrade. I really like the side micro SD slot. I have used it for MP3, videos, and animated GIFs. I can use the GIFS wallpaper or picture IDs in my contacts. The camera quality seems really good too.
