I have had this phone for 7 mos and should have returned it as soon as I got it. The battery gets hot when you charge it or even if you just talk on it. Then the speaker went out i couldn't hear anything , and i went and got a replace ment and it automatically mutes its self about 2 mins into the conversation. texting is almost impossible. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PHONE!!!!!!!

Do not buy this phone it has been outdone by the samsung eternity and the lg xenon. the main problem i have is that the touch screen is too small for my fingers dont get me wrong i can still use it but it is really hard to do that. if u want the tv feature just get the samsung eternity don't get this phone because it is cheap. there are many other phones that are better if u are a texter i will never recomend this phone the lg xenon is the same thing but with a qwerty board if u can manage the touch screen size. the call quality is very good but it is the first phone that i had a problem with call volume when calling someone on a different carrier especially verizon customers. this phone is close to the day when they are going to discontinue it. the main thing that attracts people to the phone is the tv feature but the screen is too small to see that for most people. the antenna is supposedly unbreakable but i almost broke it not one but two times. another good thing about the phone is you can search your micro sd card for anything on it. anyway if u want something like this and you are on a budget get a samsung eternity
in conclusion i do not recomend anyone this phone even as a budget phone
tv
no software/firmware problemsscreen size
touch screen accuracy
soon to be discontinued(not official)
texting

3. Trust me, this phone sucks.

First things first, I am a teenager. I text rather than calling. It isn't easy to text on this phone, what so ever. I still have troubles and I have had it for over 3 months now. Also, it has "suggestions" for texting. So, if in a previous sentence you used the word "the" it will show the next word you typed after that. But, If you press the space button the word will show, sometimes you just want to space instead of the word, that word after "the" will still appear. The camera is broken, I have only dropped my phone 3-5 times. The camera does not have a flash, and it takes crappy quality pictures/videos (when my camera did work). The back of my phone, where the camera is located, has gotten so hot that it burned a part of my finger. It is not easy to call either. You could press the numbers all day, and if you don't use your finger properly to press down on the number it will not show up. So, overall I hate this phone.
Text messaging.
Calling.
Camera.
etc.

This phone is total c**p. Three months into having one, the touch screen is totally random and useless for text messaging. You press "t" and "c" will pop up instead. It's a nightmare to do anything with. Drops calls more than any other phone I've had. Touchscreen suddenly developed an under-the-plastic oily looking sheen (greenish/red wavy lines) and since then it's garbage. It hasn't been wet, dropped, or any other sort of shock, it just went to crap virtually overnight. Worst phone I've ever owned.
Cutesy little Dick Tracy/James Bond wrist-radio antenna for wannabe double-naught spiesIt's con all the way down. Total crapulence.

This is def. a fun phone for anyone who loves a good quality touch screen. The screen is NOT heat sensitive, and so if you choose to, you may use a stylus. Although the phone has no flash, it takes decent pictures. The battery life is pretty good and the option to drag the clock around the home screen is neat. The phone comes pre-loaded with about 5 demo games, which is also nice. Def. a great phone for the price!
Touch screen is supper responsive.
Easy to navigate.
Loud speakerphone.
Loud alarm clock.
No accelerometer.
No flash on camera.
No push email.

6. I luved it when I got it..

The LG Vu was excellent when I got it in June '08. I got it when it was still a pretty new phone, before the mass production movement began and you could get then 2 for a $1(lol). My phone has just started to give me problems(will no longer charge, internal speaker is hinky at times) while, friends who purchased the same phone later on when it became very popular, have had multiple problems with theirs and have since replaced them. The camera is ok, as far as low mps go though I wish the video clip recorder was longer. It holds all my music with the added 4gb micro sd card I installed. I enjoy the TV feature whenever Im stranded somewhere and need a little entertainment. The screen has recently began to freeze up but, only momentarily. But, after over a year of heavy texting and general wear and tear, I cant blame it. In general, its been a pretty great phone for me. I will look for all these features again when it comes time to replace it in the near future. Only feature I may add to the list is a full qwerty keyboard. Im just an old school texter. Ive had the Nokia 9300 and the HTC tilt before this. I just prefer a keyboard, I guess.
Touch screen
TV
Satellite radio
Music player
Held up rather nicely after a year of heavy wear and tearFreezes up on occasion

7. Worst Phone ever!
25 Jun 2009 by Anonymous

I bought this phone about 7 months ago, and about 3 months after I had the phone is when it started to go to crap! The touch screen is horrible. I can no longer navigate on the phone what-so-ever. I can not access any buttons except the bottom four buttons, but when I open those menus I can not do anything except hit the back button. I've tried plenty of things to try and fix this problem but nothing has worked. The only thing that helped the problem temporary was to throw the thing across the room... for a couple of months that actually worked. The picture quality is decent, but not the best. And the video quality is horrible. If you are a texter, don't even think about getting this phone. And if you are looking for a phone that is quick, this isn't the phone for you. It takes FOREVER to load up my music and pictures. I can put the phone to load my music jump in the shower and get out and it isn't even done yet. When the music does finally load, it isn't very loud. It almost isn't even worth it. Then when you are scrolling through the music, don't even think about hitting the back button... it will take another 15-20 minutes to navigate back once. The internet navigation sucks, and don't think about using the keyboard method to enter the URL page, it will just scramble the screen. The scroll bar is way too small, it is difficult to scroll up and down on the page due to that. A friend of mine HAD this phone for about a month, before he had to send it back. He went back and worth with AT&T and went through about 4 LG Vu's before AT&T just sent him a totally different kind of phone. I have heard plenty and plenty of horror stories about this phone, I just wish I would have known all of this before I bought the thing. I can't believe I wasted money on this POS. I would not recommend this phone to ANYONE unless you want a phone that is garbage.
The weight and size.Horrible touch screen, horrible navigation, horrible for texters, horrible internet functions.

This phone was the worst phone for me. Its touchscreen was not as responsive as i wanted it to be like the dares. the keyboard sucks on this phone i made mistakes even after i got used to it.. i usually took the haptic feedback off wen texted. (worked muchhhhhhh better). There was no customization on this phone! No banners, good display themes, fonts, just wallpaper and butterfly & fish wallpaper?! the battery was not good on this phone either. it only lasted about a day to 2 days TOPS. the camera was gorgeous tho! the videos would blur as most phones do wen yu watch them. not really a big deal but i wanna see the aspects of the video. overall, dont get this phone get a different one like the iphone or a keyboard phone at&t has.
gorgeous camera
okay battery life (not the best)hard to text
bad touchscreen
no customization whatsoever
blurred videos wen yu watched it
drained battery life

I have had this phone for less than a year and I have had to send the phone in 4 times for repair. The phone will work for 1 day and then callers cant hear me and I cant hear them. Then after being repaired it comes back the same thing but only worse the camera doesnt work. I would never recommend anyone purchasing this phone as it is a piece of GARBAGE!!
nothing good about this phonethe list goes on

10. 3rd phone, First Touch

This is my current phone at the moment. It's a ok phone to start touching stuff. lol
Touchscreen:
it isn't as responsive as the iPhone. which is a good thing for me anyways. I hate that you press one thing and then next thing you know your in the self exploding menu and you accidently hit OK. You can change the setting from having it vibrate when you touch something or make a sound. To get around the menus is a breeze, however the QWERTY screen is NOT. but i've grown accustom to it. Its good with the internet ( AT times) Depending on where you go on the internet, some of the things are a bit small to hit, but thats a good thing that you can zoom in and out to do that though. :) Overall for the Touchscreen 5/10. Seems fair.
Camera:
The camera comes with a 2.0 megapixel Auto focus. not bad. it takes decent photos. It comes with image editor. Crop it, Resize, Sepia, etc... It doesn't have a flash, which sucks. Dedicated camera button. It has macro and night mode,and a self timer up to 10 seconds. Overall for the camera 6.5/10 ( For me flash and megapixels are a biggie.)
Media Player:
It's ok. Nothing to brag about. Clarity of the speaker is good. You can make playlists, Ect... Overall for the Mediaplayer 7/10
Hint: not a good idea to mix if the battery sucks.
Menus and Miscellaneous:
There are 4 themes to the phone. 2 of them i know are interactiveable. The onxy one is just black. no wallpaper and i forget the other one. You can recieve emails, watch tv Mobile( the main feature). Theres very little customization on this phone, and is the reason why i'm going to be getting a different phone. The Audio recorder is pretty fair. It has loads of tools, like notepad, tip calculator, Tasks,stop watch, unit converter ect... You can have AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail Instant Messenger.The connection of this phone varies. Sometimes it connects sometimes it SUCKS! The material it's made of is shit. i have one scratch on it. O_o It has a lock and unlock button which is smart and cool. lol
Overall if you want a phone with simple OS and still want a touchscreen, this phone might be for you.
