Very good

View score

The good: Excellent battery life; attractive price; pretty design; FM radio; adapter for 3.5mm headphones.

The bad: No GPS; proprietary connector; lackluster software bundle; no text input application for one-handed use.

The bottom line: For a first attempt, LG has gotten it mostly right with this model, thanks to its good looks and extremely competitive price.

value for the price

Sep 5, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: light, pocket size, good looking, windows mobile 6
Cons: no one hand keypad, no gps
Opinion:
definitely a good buy if u are looking for just a phone with pda functions. the bad: image from phone is lacklustre. 128 mb render the phone a little slow as compared with other products from market.
the good: small implies that it is convenient. easily fit into any pockets. reasonably fast performance. extra long battery life. i only need to charge my phone once every 3 days even though i am a quite a heavy user(100 sms per day with about 20 mins of talk time usage per day) extra battery is provided. external leather casing too. all in all a value for money buy

 

DO NOT BUY

Jul 16, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: design
Cons: phone gets hang easily
Opinion:
i sold my LG phone after 3 months. I urge all do not buy this phone, you will regret it!

Yes, the design is great but that is the only thing.

in terms of reliability, performance it sucks! I always accidentally press the 'end' key button while talking and the line get terminated.

phone always hang if you open more than 2 programs at the same time.

and if your program uses more than 1gb , it can't open and the phone will hang. it's no use pressing the on/off button, you need to remove the battery..

PLS DO NOT BUY LG PHONE

 

Classy phone with good specs !!

Jun 26, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Classy look, light, fast navigation, loud speaker, good interface quality and many more..
Cons: Need to charge the batt everyday ONLY if you are a heavy user. Need to download Touchpad for single hand typing (No big deal!). Need to download software to read or write chinese characters (No big deal!).
Opinion:
Overall, it is a good phone !! You can consider it if you like Windows Mobile..
