1. Better than a touchscreen.

90%9out of 10
I had one of the $550 HTC Touch Diamonds and the freakin' thing was just a nasty hastle all the time. Poor battery life, basically the whole thing is just a screen, so you have to be delicate with it, if one was to drop the HTC touch diamond, then one would be screwed. And the touchscreens never seem to have enough memory; very slow creatures.
HOWEVER! I downgraded from the fancy lifestyle of touchscreen smartphones and went to the LG Lotus.
I have never been very disappointed in the LG brand name, and this phone doesn't let me fall. I use the phone primarily for texting, calls, and internet.
This is a great phone, and I don't plan to change phones from LG for a long time.
I have had it for 5 months, for some reason it just started having some issues with randomly turning off. But those things happen with plenty of phones. I know plenty of people with LG phones who haven't had these kinds of problems. I am getting a new one.
Cons, because I know it's what you want to see.
Not always, not even most of the time, but sometimes when I text someone, the letters on the screen lag behind what I am saying, it usually happens more if I am texting long messages on the internet.
Certain sites not developed for mobile phones with mobile views will cut about 1/5 of the side of the screen off. As I said, I have been using the internet on it for a while, and as long as you can gues a word or two that may be off to the side on some sites, then it won't be a problem.
-Small, but will open up to a pretty good size screen.
-No lack of memory like a lot of HTC's smartphones.
-Sweet for texting.
-3G-Sometimes text on screen lags behind actual text speed.
-Sometimes doesn't fit complete internet site on the display.

Phone has great features, although started to have a problem when opening the phone. Sprint replaced it after a month of use. The display was getting distored and scrambled up. I understand it has something to do with the ribbon cable that connects the two flip halves together. Good reception, good features. Sprint took care of the problem though by replacing free of charge.
stylish, featuresmalfunctioned < 1 month.

The lg lotus is a great phone, but for me it has some minor cons.. Sprints one click carosel isnt that good, but its manageable. I like how you can put the messaging and any other tile any where you want. Lg has made this phone look like its made for music, but really it's not so good. the memory card it comes with doesnt hold that much stuff, and the headphone jack is only 2.5, not like 3.5 which ur used to on ur ipods, psps, and what not. And texting, well lets just say its great, if your not into texting that much. I had the phone for a while, about 3 weeks... and i still didnt realy get used to the QWERTY. yes, the keys are easy to use and navigate and what not, but there is a major problem i caught. When your texting, if your fast enough, the keyboard sometimes not keep up. It can get REALLY annoying. For example, while typing all letters of the word FUNNY it wuld only type FUNY.. or trying to say HAHAHA, it wuld only type... HAHAA. But all in all i really like the form factor of thise phone, the batery i never had a problem with, and the screen is big, which satisfies you every time you open it.
-Form factor
-big screen
-easy to use
-QWERTY is easy to type with.the only thing i dont like about this phone is the typing cannot keep up with you if your pretty fast at typing.
-also, im not the biggest fan of sprints. "one-click carousel"

6. Better than HTC touch DIAMOND
27 May 2009 by Eric Jacobs (certified tech.)
86.7%8.7out of 10
I had 2 htc phones, one was the original touch and one was the touch diamond. I grew to hate the original because it did not have enough memory to run quickly, so then I picked up the $550 htc touch diamond a few months after. The phone had no quick and easy way of locking it, so I would just not lock it, especially since I pulled it out of my pocket every few minutes to text. I found that I called a few people from my pocket. I also had a problem with the crappy battery life. Smartphones are charge guzzlers.
I downgraded to the nice little LG Lotus. It looks like the keys are too small at first, but they are not, and the screen is not at all small. The battery life is great, usually by the end of the day I still have a full battery sign. Of course the phone locks, and the keys are great. I like my lotus so much more than either of my htc "smart" phones.
1.Neat keypad
2.Long lasting battery life
3.Don't have to worry about it like I do with a $550 smart phone.
1.Not a lot of choices in terms of cover accessories.

7. The LG Lotus!

LG and Sprint sure sprung something with this phone. I think it is the BEST PHONE Sprint has on the market to this day. Going from the Samsung Rant to this was a HUGE improvment. I hated everything about the Rant. They feel of the keyboard, the texting, and the calling. Now, the Lotus, this is a fine piece of work. I have officially had it for a week and im in love with it!! I love everything from the full QWERTY keyboard to the call quality and the design. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a new phone although kinda on the pricey side.

and everything else.at this point nothing.

I love this phone, not only becuase i have the samsung m300, but becuase this phone has everything i did not have feature wise as my old phone. The camera is great quality, the video playback and taking is just a little bad, but better than nothing. The threaded messages is amazing and i love it. I love recording my voice memos and using them as ringtones, can i love the keybored, reminds me on the ipod touch keybored, so now i am even more skilled! The fact i can put mp3 on the music player via the memory card is very cool! My battery with constent sms, and the backlight on dim and volume at 3, lasted 2 full days!
Keyboard, camera, form factor, music player, Batteryi think the contact viewing screen is small and cramped when scrolling threw, minor annoyance tho, might just be me

10. The phone I love has issues
19 Mar 2009 by Carltlon
70%7out of 10
This is a great phone!!!! It has an incredoble keyboard, Mp3 is great and I can text all day on the phone!!! However this phone was just introduced to the world of messaging. So it has a lot of bugs it needs to more out; such as the transition between applications on the phone. For example the transition between the main screen and the text messaging screens. Me personally experienced problems after the first two weeks!!! The phone kept Freezing and then my screen was "scrambled" of different colors, then finnally my phone screen stopped working permanently. So I think LG needs to work out the bugs in this phone because overall this phone has magnificent potential to be a trend setter for messenger phones but I prefer a LG Rumor or the Samsung Rant by sprint because the LG Lotus is obviously not ready yet. I hope LG make some improvements because this is a really neat phone but too many issues.
keyboard
mp3
messaging
powerful cam for a 2.0
options of apps.
call quality is goodafter 2 weeks or so i guarantee that if you by this phone you will start seeing problems and it will get worse...
cant find a leather case for this phone except the girly kind that sprint has or you can probably get the clear case that fits on the phone.
too many improvements that LG has to make
