I thought that it was very nice looking and <br />easy to use. Then the problems started. my screen started to not work within a couple of months. It would just randomly freeze and i would have to take the battery out to get it to do anything. Now i have had it for just over a year and i can no longer make phone calls my battery could be completely charged, and if i go to make a call i can talk for about 30 seconds to a minute before my phone will shut off. i am not happy at all with this phone. and now because my phone is pretty much un-usable and i have to buy a new phone. and pay the 75 dollar early upgrade charge. I purchase the insurance for when things like this happen and they will not replace it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=38145#review38145 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=38145#review38145 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 03:38:51 GMT <p><i>9h05t26 submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />1. Cam takes great pix (Had to get use to the auto focus feature though)<br />2. Web browser is pretty good (considering it's an OEM browser)<br />3. Endless possibilities when it comes to adding custom themes, ring tones etc (not recommended for noobies due to chance of bricking the phone if not done right)<br />4. Great call quality both out of the handset and speaker<br />5. Decent amount of on board memory<br /><br />Cons:<br />1. Touch screen sucks big time (had to constantly calibrate it and even then it was still off)<br />2. The TV ($9.99/month for the few channels they offer isn't worth it)<br />3. Battery life is ok (had to buy a brand new battery after owning it for only 3 months)<br />4. QWERTY keyboard is not for people with big fingers (or big thumbs like me for that matter)<br />5. Long load time when accessing pics (or if you have a lot of stuff on the memory card)<br />6. Only capable of hold up to a 4GB Micro SD card (my LG GS390 Prime can hold up to a 16GB Micro SD card)<br />7. Lack of customization options without having to access the phones system files (see Pro #3 for more info)<br />8. Lack of file system access (wanted to install a better media player but first had to mod a java security file in the phone in order to allow full file system access)<br />9. Proprietary cable system (can't buy an off the shelf USB cable for data transfers like with most phones)<br />10. Antenna for TV kind of pointless since it uses data<br />11. Limited A/V format compatibility<br />12. Sub-par Java version<br /><br />All in all, if you paid money for this phone, I feel sorry for you. It's not worth the price.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=38116#review38116 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=38116#review38116 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:33:54 GMT <p><i>db051504 submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is terrible dont buy it. It is fine for the first 3 months but then quickly goes down hill. My battery has had to be changed 3 times, the screen goes blank anytime. Applications just come on without trying. The TV is a JOKE, and should not be placed on this phone. My contract with this phone is up in 5 days and I cant wait to get rid of this thing. The ONLY thing that is good about this phone is the amount of texts that it holds. Again, do not get this phone it is terrible.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37630#review37630 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37630#review37630 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:31:12 GMT <p><i>hatesLGphones submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It's hard to stay within the terms of use here at Phonescoop about not using profane language in a review about the LG CU920 Vu.<br /><br />If a salesman tries to push one off on you, punch him in the mouth and ask for someone who knows phones.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />Smashing it in to tiny bits with a hammer after trying to use it is actually satisfying, despite the fact that you can only do this once. I suggest a belt sander or grinding wheel to powderize it so that it no longer exists. <br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />LG makes box fans and vaccuum cleaners. If you want a phone that blows and sucks, this phone is for you.<br /><br />Reception: To improve reception between your LG Vu and anyone you're trying to call, put the phone in a can and run a string between the can and another can held by the people you're trying to call. <br /><br />Touchscreen Calibration: There is a menu option for this, but if you actually get it to work properly, go to Vegas. You're on a hot streak of luck. Forget trying to text with this piece of crap. It's not gonna happen.<br /><br />Camera: The camera takes 2 kinds of pictures: blurry and crappy.<br /><br />Battery life: Flies live longer.<br /><br />Overheating: Nice on a cold day, until the battery dies, within a few hours.<br /><br />There is nothing, absolutely nothing good about this phone whatsoever.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37608#review37608 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37608#review37608 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 01:10:58 GMT <p><i>interwine submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have to say, even with all of it's quarks, I love this phone. Though recently I have been having annoying battery problems that have me frustrated with the Vu. <br /><br />Pros:<br />-Though it may look cheap, its pretty strong. I cannot count how many times I have dropped mine. This phone has been tossed out a window, chewed by my dog, and caught in a sprinkler. Sure its scratched, but its not broken! <br />-love the design! It is very sleek and light weight. <br />-easy to use. took me 10 mins to figure this phone out. It is VERY user friendly.<br />-touch screen is NOT heat sensitive. I have long nails, so typing on a iPhone is hard for me. But it is very easy on the Vu.<br />-good service, I almost always have connection.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-I've had to replace the battery three times, due to the fact they do not hold charge after awhile. I cant be away from the charger for more then 10 mins. <br />-If I go on youtube the video/sound quality is horrible. <br />-even if i delete all of my voice mails, the icon can still remain for a day or too later, but eventually goes away.<br />-scrolling is weird, sometimes it jumps up to the top.<br />-have to delete messages often, as inbox fill up fast.<br /><br />Overall, I still love this phone. In the end, the battery is my biggest complaint. Regretfully, I am parting with it in a few days to get either the Samsung Captivate or the new 4G iPhone. But I have a feeling I am going to miss the simplicity and durability of my Vu.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37107#review37107 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=37107#review37107 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:08:03 GMT <p><i>c-milli submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is pretty to look at but you cant really customize anything. You cant use ringtones for your txt tone an you cant customize your contacts txt tones either. the themes really suck and are limited. Txtin is kinda hard because you mite press "t" an a "y" or "u" would appear instead an somehow the TV icon always gets pressed... even if you dont touch it.

I loved it when I first got it but the little things started happening. Like dropped calls and not receiving calls or messages (wreaks havoc on a relationship). Also screen started freezing up so I had the phone replaced under warranty and within two weeks of that the battery wouldn't stay charged more than 20 minutes and so I had the battery replaced and then the screen started peeling off and now I am right back to the same problem that I was having with the first one.

It was spooky, right? I finally decided to call AT&amp;T since it was still under warranty. Since it passed 30days, I only can get refurbished one. I don't mind to get refurbished one as long as it works. However, I got one yesterday. The phone died in the middle of talking during the first phone call I made!!! I was so upset!!! This is the only phone I have, now it doesn't vibrate, it doesn't ring and I can't hear anything. The only function left is text messaging. Thank God. I am still able to contact with outside world. I had many cell phones before. I upgrade my phone every 1.5 yrs. LG CU920 is truly the worst one I have ever had. It has sleek fancy looking but it just doesn't work appropriately.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=36453#review36453 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=36453#review36453 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:22:15 GMT <p><i>Rickm321 submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the first touch screen phone I have owned. The touch matrix seems vague although I recalibrate frequently. I have big hands and I always search for a phone that i feel comfortable that I can hit the correct key. This has been a problem with the LG for text and calls. I backspace and re-enter more than I dial or type correctly the first time. The most disturbing fact I have found after 8 months with the phone is that if I am connected to another caller for more than 2.5 minutes my audio goes out and the other party cannot hear me. My son has the same phone and his has already been replaced for sim card and power issues. Could we just be the recipients of two bad phones from RS?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=35718#review35718 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=35718#review35718 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:29:14 GMT <p><i>clearwater_man submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i have had this phone for a while now and its not to bad just seems to be a tiny bit glitchy</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1378 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=35550#review35550 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1378&r=35550#review35550 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:07:18 GMT <p><i>flyaussie submitted this review of the LG Vu / CU920 / CU915:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My excitement died when the screen cracked in less than 3 months.
