This is a terrible a phone. This is the phone that i wanted but my mom got it before me and im soooo happy she did. We have U. S Cellular, great company but bad phone choice. This phone is sooo cute but LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!The touchscreen went out constantly, she had to keep taking it back to the store so they could send it off to be fixed. The touchscreen was very unresponsive. The phone could of had a bigger screen. It was soo hard to text on. My mom has long nails and i dont. My fingers are kinda fat too, so i kept pushing other buttons than the one's i wanted to push. UGHHH!! Well then it got dropped and stop working so my mom had to take my upgrade, Im getting the LG Bliss...HAHA!! stupid phone!!! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! THE RATE IS -1!
CuteEVERY THING ELSE!

2. Not bad...

I've had this phone from US Cellular for over a year now. It's a good phone and has only had very minor problems. It freezes up every once in a while and is a little slow loading pictures and ringtones. I use it mainly for calls, texting, and pictures. I love the camera because it actually has a flash! I didn't text as much when I first got it, so I will definitely be looking for a phone with a qwerty keypad and threaded messaging next time. :)

I got this phone when it first came out, it was great for a few months, but after that is totally sucks. I've had it for a year now and the space button doesn't make spaces anymore, the touch screen I have to touch a few times before it works. Im really glad they took this of the market!!
Nothing.The flat buttons, bulky, mostly the whole phone!

6. Best phone I have had, for the first 6 months!!!

I have had the phone for a year now and for the first 6 months it was great. Then I had the same problem a lot of people are having. The touch screen only works when the sun is in just the position in the sky, or the phone gods are shining down on me. It does not matter how hard you touch, you can push till your finger hurts, and it just won't work.
If the phone had other way to navigate features it would not be as bad. But if your screen is not working, you can't get to your text messages, or phone book, can't view your pics. I live in Virginia, and we can have pretty cold winters. When it is cold outiside, nothing can make the screen work, it totally shuts down. So if you don't have all your contacts memorized, forget it. You will not be able to call them unless you have them programed into the 1 touch dial. It really is a shame, when the phone first came out, it seems like LG hit a homerun. I loved all of it. The MP3 player, the video quality is great, even has a zoom. The only up shot. Verizon just finished the deal with Alltel, so I have access to a larger variety of phones. Think I will stay away from the touch screens this time.
Solid in your hand, does not feel fragile, great video and picture quality. Good MP3 playerA touch screen without a touchscreen makes it impossible to navigate.

7. Me and my phone have a love hate relationship...

Like everyone else has said, when I first got my phone, I loved it. It was the first touch screen phone I've owned and I felt like I was 5 years old and it was christmas time. But then 4 or 5 months later it all starts... It sounds like alot of people are having touch screen issues... Every once in awhile my touch screen will not work, i open up the keypad and try it, it doesn't work either. It won't even let me turn the phone off. So I have to take out my battery, and put it back in. Then it works just fine. Then weird things started happening with my messaging. The previews of messages would be totally different than what the actuall message said. And a few times when I would send a message to a friend, it would take a message from my inbox, and send it to them instead of the i text them... And the tiny scroll bar is sometimes impossible to work with. And the ascending ringtone is horrible... By the time I manage to get the phone out of my pocket when I hear it rining, the person calling me usually had already hung up... And having to unlock the phone after every time you want to do something is really annoying. And one feature it lacks is putting a lock on your messages so others can't view them. When you lock messaging you can still go look at all the messages you've sent or recieved... You just can't send a message. I would say don't get this phone, but it's already been discontinued... I guess for sucking so bad. The only thing I like is the cool looking design and the touch screen... but the touch screen stops working, and the finish is coming off the phone so it's turning to a silver color.

8. Great Phone, Used for 5 months

I have had this phone for 5 months now, and I have never had a problem with the touchscreen not working. The touch screen is a resistive type of screen meaning it takes a bit of pressure for it to work, as compared to a capacitive such as the Iphone.
As for the performance, the camera works wonderfully, the menus are well designed, and the signal is decent.
Overall, if you take of the phone, as you should with anything electronic, it will last and work.
Great design
Good Camera
Decent battery life
menu interfaceResistive touchscreen
No loud speaker

"I just got the LG Glimmer and its great..."
thats how i felt at first, what an amazing phone, stylish, and with a touch screen...
that has stopped working...
if i wanted a phone that could push buttons on the right when i touch the left side of the screen, this would be absolutely perfect, but this is not the most use ful feature.
for all you who are wondering why its getting bad reviews, wait a year or so, and ull figure it out

10. powering off automatically

i have had this phone for 7 months and have not a single problem with it until two days ago. it continuously powers off and on every 60 seconds, literally!! i have times it to see and its everytime the minute changes. NOBODY has been able to help me at all... my last resort is to take it to have it repaired (its under warranty) It IS a discontinued phone so if i still have problems after they repair it then i am HOPING that since its discontinued that i can wait it out, use my ins, and HOPE that i will get a newer better phone since this one is not made anymore.... thats prob. the only good thing about ins.... but other than this one HUGE, very irritating problem that has caused me to go with out a phone all weekend.... i like most everything about.... although, i dont understand y its touch screen AND a slider.... i never use the key pad. and it needs some arrows to navigate up and down like the left and right ones.... kinda aggravating sometimes.
