if you get one, DO NOT get the green one. it has a crappy battery life and has other problems.

My daughters Blue LG AX8600 cell phone from Alltel is poorly functioning after 7 months of service. She has to charge it 2 times a day to keep it working and it has a poor signal. Also, Alltel will not honor their 1 year warrenty on that phone.

Also, the poorly functioning LG AX8600 phone from Alltel is under a 2 year contract. I think that their should be some laws to protect consumers from the contracts if they sell shotty phones to people. I have been with Alltel for a long time - 12 or so years - and they have been nice to me until recently. This time they have been rude and they did not honor their warrenty. I think I am going to buy out of the contract and get another company after doing some research.

the phone itself is great. it is just the battery that is poor. after 2 days the battery dies . alltel does not know what they are doing. their customer service is bologna

I just got the phone yesterday and I couldn't be happier with it and the people who work at alltel. It's beautimus and I am enjoying it. As for the battery thing, every phone I've ever had has problems keeping a charge after a few months.. just means you have to purchase a new one.

I am on my 3rd phone in about 7 months. At first they seem to work great but as time goes by the reception gets worse and worse until I can't hardly make any calls. I take it to Alltel and their response is that they cant guarantee service. But my friends are getting service in the same area. HMMMMM. Biggest piece of crap that I have ever purchased. DON'T WASTE UR MONEY.

I bought the blue LG in late August, about 2 1/2 weeks after buying it the battery wouldn't hold a charge. I went to take it back and they said i went over my returne time so they replaced it and gave me one just as crappy. I am now on my third phone like this one they have given me and they said if i was still having problems then i'd have to use my insurance! HELLLLOOOoOOo if i didnt break the phone then i shouldnt have to pay $50 to get a stupid Moto Razar that Alltel wants to get rid of. I payed $200 for that LG and I want my money back!

I also have the lime green LG AX8600 from ALLTEL. I love it so much, mine hasnot hady any major problems although i'm not exactly clear on the whole MP3 part. My mom has the blue one. she had to get it replaced because of battery problems. mine has been fine, a few minor problems, but we cleared them up & they had nothing to do with the phone itself. thanx :)

I have the green one and I have only one complaint. I had trouble linking with a friend's motorola KRZR using bluetooth. Other than that, the phone has been great. I have dropped it many times, scratched the front cover (not the screen), and forgotten it on top of my car and drove away. It fell off, I remembered it and turned around to get it. I found it and it worked perfectly. Maybe I just got a really good one, but my battery lasts for days without charging.

got the phone in may 2007 - nothing but problems... phone is seperating at hinge right on the seam and alltel refuses to replace under manufacturer warranty and battery is very poor! i do not recommend at all! save your money!!

I got the blue LG AX8600 5 days ago, and just exchanged it for The Wave. The AX8600 couldn't hold a charge, the voice quality was poor, and the MP3 player wasn't that great. I'm really disappointed because the AX8600 was the only phone in the Alltel lineup I didn't find unappealing.

Great phone, but the battery life is terrible. Im on my second one and i just bought the phone last Thursday. It hasnt stayed charged for more than a day.

I just bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and I'm pretty please with it's performance. I have the silver one=] I dropped it in the snow about the 5th day I got it and I was covered all over in melted snow, and no damage.. yet!.. haha. My friend has a blue and she has sent hers in a couple times due to tecnical difficulties. I would sugest a cover for the phone.. it scratches easy!! The phone will often/most of the time say "Service Not Activated On Network" when I go to send a picture/video message, and the phone will freeze then shut off then start back up sometimes. Other wise its a great phone!=]=]

I have the blue phone. It is awesome and does not have the battery/low charge problems the other phone has.

This phone is the best looking, phone I've ever had and it is very convienient for texting. I have found that after a few months of having it the paint starts to chip off and then its starts to look completeley trashy. Plus, every phone call I have it drops. I at first thought " hey maybe im just in a bad area" but NOPE! I was wrond, I have a brother and a sister who have razors, and their phone never drops a call.

You guys are all dumb. This is a great phone. Stop complaining about battery problems.

I've had my phone for 3 months before it broke. The first time it was ever dropped, it broke. The prongs that go to the battery fell out. My guess is that it's very cheaply made becuase like i said, it was the first time that it had ever been dropped! I was very dissapointed that it wasn't very durable.

I am new to alltel and just got a brand new LGAX8600... bad choice. I can't hear anything when I call or I receive a call. Nadda, ZILCH. The charge doesn't hold and it's quite literally a "piece of junk" quoted by an ALLTEL salesman to me this morning. He told me, "There's no way I would have sold that phone to you." Then why are there CRAPPY people selling us these cheaply made phones? There's pretty much nothing they can do, because I am two days over the limit of getting a new phone... and I don't want another one of these pieces of crap! Don't waste your money on these.
