LG Esteem Specs

The LG Esteem is a bit heavy for it's screen size, but otherwise its a pretty solid phone. It's expensive considering it has an HDMI Output and a high quality 5 MP camera, which takes great photos. The 1 GHz processor isn't the fastest out there, but it's sure to get the job done. LTE speeds are very good and are actually quite comparable to the top carriers. The display is quite bright and shows clear and crisp text. Thee battery life however is very dismal, which can drain halfway through a regular day. Otherwise, the LG Esteem is worth the money if you plan on getting an extended battery.

I've had this phone since 1/15/12
I must say at first I was in love, Screen size 4G speed, 4gigs of internal memory the phone was a dream in the first 2 months, but the shut downs started,the phone would either shut down or reboot @ will, I thought this was a result of me rooting my phone, so I unrooted it and installed the firmware update to no avail. I continued with more of the same issues, the performance just got worst over time, then one morning I woke up to find the phone was showing no service, I rebooted the phone several times and nothing, I took the phone back to Metro to have it replaced, 2 hours later I had a new phone this time I opted not to root it, kept every thing factory on the phone Yet the same conditions exist, shuts down when it wants to , and I've noticed If I have about 50% battery and try to take a pic the phone will reboot about 60% of the time, I now have a 2 second lag when attempting the most simplest of task, this phone is not all its cracked up to be, not sure weather to thank Metro or LG for this debacle but its been a burden to me, lets see how there version of the Galaxy S3 fares

I loved this phone and it ran great after the root and removal of the bloatware. I never had issues until recently my PRL, phone number and all of my account information started disappearing off of my phone. After help from the Android forums, I fixed it last month. Only to have it happen again. Think long and hard before you buy this phone. It has been a nightmare.
