Terrible phone
on June 4, 2012
Posted by: Anonymous
This is the absolute worst phone I have ever had. It constantly "runs out of memory" despite my 8 GB memory card that I have saved every possible app, picture, etc to. It forces updates on apps that I don't want but can't delete, such as YouTube and Maps. The Swype text keyboard misspells words, and the phone often sends double text messages to recipients. The ONLY saving grace of this phone is that it's durable. I'm counting down the days until I can get a new phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed with LG...
on March 22, 2012

This phone will not connect to my pc for anything. NOT an ANDROID problem I don't think, cannot get drivers to work. Windows 7. Tried to video a concert last night, audio is clipped and blown out, no good. Phone quality is poor, both sound and reception, even with max bars signal strength. Will most likely never get another LG device...
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings

It is an okay phone.

I like the phone because it can withstand me dropping it all the time. The only bad thing about dropping it is that the battery and sometimes the SD card falls out. I did have an issue trying to get my music and photos onto my computer, since LG supportive tool doesn't provide this model on there when I look it up. But after going to the support tab in the upper right hand corner, then pressing mobile support, and looking for the model number; I found the driver I needed to download and found it fairly easy to download my music and photos onto my laptop. My only huge dislike about the phone is that it doesn't let you delete apps that come with it and that sometimes the phone does things all by itself. But my favorite part is the swipe feature which lets you just move you fingers over the entire keyboard and the swipe program figures out the words you made. Overall, it's a decent smartphone; just nothing to write home about.
I would recommend this to a friend!

At first, this phone was awesome, did everything I wanted it to do, lots of pics, several apps. Now, 7 mos later, I keep getting the Phone Storage Too Low message, and I replaced the card twice with a 2 G, then with an 8G one, it freezes, and my ringtones mysteriously reset and/or disappear, causing me to have to re-upload them. Also, I get lousy reception. I am totally unimpressed. The only good thing is that it's purple.
Pros: Style/Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's Okay

When I first got this phone it was awesome. But now that I have had it for a couple months, I have so many problems with it. I don't have very many apps on it and I really don't play games on it very much but my battery usually only last about 4 to 6 hours a day. It's horrible. It lags so much and freezes once in a while. I constantly have to restart it. But it is a lot better than the phones I have had before.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

This is the best phone I have ever owned. It's simple & easy to use. It does everything a phone should do & more. I have not had a single issue with this phone since owning it for almost a year. Other phones I've had in the past have had so many issues, not this one. I would recommend this phone to anyone wanting to try a smart phone with the android market. I love that it comes in purple
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, it's purple
