LG Venus Review

0. phoneArena posted on 26 Nov 2007, 09:54

The Venus by LG is Verizon Wireless’s latest music phone and is the successor to the Chocolate lineup. It is a slider, and moves beyond the heat sensitive buttons of 8500 series by adding a pressure-sensitive dynamic LCD display. The camera has been upgraded to 2.0 megapixels, but otherwise the features remain similar to the Chocolates. The Venus has a QVGA display, EV-DO data, microSD expansion and a heavy focus on music.

I just got the Pink Venus just 4 days ago and I have to send it back already! I love the phone and I am so disappointed! I read the reviews and it doesn't sound as if anyone has had this problem, but I have no sound when I make or receive a call. The phone rings and I can hear my ringtones and stuff but when I answer or try to place a call, there is nothing. And here is the most bizarre thing, when you are on a call and unlock the phone, on the face of the phone, the middle circle is the "Speaker", the oddest thing is that this button has completely disappeared! When I tried to call and thought it was my headset, I tried to hit speaker and it was gone! Now the phone did drop, however, it slid off of my bed onto the carpeted floor, it wasn't like it fell hard on the pavement. I have no idea, Verizon said I may have gotten a bad phone but I am too scared to get another and go through this again. I may get the new Chocolate 3 as it is a clamshell and I feel will be better protected. Very disappointed, it is a sharp phone!

i want to get the pink Venus but I'm not sure if i want to. Some people say the phone is great when others say its not. Please help me decide if this is the right phone for me or if i should look for a different phone. If anyone has any ideas of other phones that slide and are black, pink or both please help.

This phone is horrible. When I first got it I loved it....Now a year later it'll freeze while i try to put a space inbetween words in text messages. I DON'T RECCOMEND THIS PHONE!
