I am just replacing this phone after FOUR faithful years of service: it is starting to crack and the battery won't last as long but what tech product do you know that would ever last this long? It has withstood extreme temperature, sand and snow, being dropped, incorrect charging, and it fell in the toilet and CAME BACK TO LIFE as strong as ever. I loved this phone, it was extremely reliable, with a clean design. Small and compact with a nice weight to it, it was perfect. I will only buy LG from now on, and hope my phones are always this nice looking, long lasting, and reliable.
This phone would have been excellent if it was introduced in the early 90's or the late 80's. But, unfortunately, it wasn't. Here is what I mean: The overall size and dementions are actually quite good. It doesn't look bad, but it's nothing to write home about. The real problem lies with it's performance. I've driven from one side of the state to the other with it, and it's never had more than 2 signal bars anywhere. Other people on my network with different phones have fantastic reception any place that I am. People often give up trying to get ahold of me. Not because I won't answer or talk to them, but because half the time this phone doesn't ring, even if I'm just in the next room. The greyscale screen tries to be helpful by telling the date and time. The phone has a lot of useless built-in stuff that I'd gladely trade for better reception.
