Good 7.2

To PJ

Hey I don't know if you noticed, but AT&T got the Shine (CU720) and Verizon got the Shine clamshell (although Verizon droped the Shine moniker, and just calls it the VX8700), so next time get you facts straight before bithing about a phone you don't even have (which by the way, you shouldn't even have posted here at all).

Anyways, great phone this is. Decent look although it's colour is a little dull, and it lacks the brilliant colour schemes LG is known for. Touchscreen should be a bit better though and camera needs work. Web browser is nothing special and keypad does kinda seems useless. I wish LG had removed it so it would be smaller, since it is a little big. Otherwise, great phone in features and performance, design is also well done, not to mention it has a nice interface. My rating is 7.5 /10

Average 5.6

poor touch screen controls and poor multimedia, also a little big and keypad is useless, why not take it out to make the phone smaller. also camera is pretty crap and screen should be better, also texting is a little hard. decent phone tho. very balance

My parents didn't want to switch off Alltel, so I got this phone. It is great. I love it. The touch screen is great, and the physical keyboard is a nice feature. I can't think of anything fine with it. Its perfect!

LOVE IT

Ive had this phone for about a month now and i love it! my ringer works fine i hear it ok and havent missed a call yet. i did the same thing though i switched from 5 rings to 7. the touch to unlock was a little annoying but i got use to it. it keeps my phone on vibrate in class unlike my other phone.
very easy to use. make sure you put on the cover for the touch screen cause it will save your screen and you can always get a new cover.

I have had the phone for a period of time, and love it. The only thing is the ringer, the message alert for text and picture messages works perfectly, I only wish the ringer for incoming calls would work the same. I am going to go to alltel to see what they can do about it, as well as LG.

As others have said, the phone is perfect except for the ringer style.

This is a hard one.

This phone is confusing. I don't get the point of the physical keypad. Don't get me wrong, it is a good phone. But with better options out there, and better services, you can get more for your money.

Great, Ringer issue fix!

This phone is awesome, like other users noted, i had the same problem with the ringer, by just making a quick call to alltel, they changed my rings from 5 to 7 so now i have more time to get to the phone!

Excellent 8.8

Have had this phone about a week and for the most part love it. Lots of great features and very nice design. Definitely the nicest phone Alltel has ever offered. Unfortunately the escalating ringer is a big problem and has caused a number of missed calls already. I called LG and was told they absolutely will not be changing this with software upgrades and there will be no changes to the phone itself in the future. As others have done I reluctantly will be returning mine, and probably will leave Alltel at the end of my contract for a better choice of phones elsewhere.

Nice Phone

I bought this today, I like everything about it except the fact that the ringer sucks!! I've missed a few calls today cuz you can't make it any louder.

Otherwise, it's nice. It's smaller than I had expected, it's about the same size as a closed razr, not as wide and sleek looking. I really like that you don't have to slide it open to make calls.

The phone overall is a really nice one. The only thing I do not like about it is the ringer. You can not change to way it rings. It always starts off really soft & gets louder. Other than that, it is a very useful phone, especially for what I use it for.
