Do not purchase this phone. In terms of functionality, the cons far outweigh the pros.

Pros:
-Sleek design.
-Good price.

Cons:
-Battery pack falls out.
-Reception is poor.
-Calls get cut off.
-Volume is terrible. Cannot hear the other person you are speaking with.

User Review: Still Working

Not the best reception in Eastern Kentucky with cingular wireless (or in any other region). However this phone is pretty resilient between my husband and myself it's been dropped in the road several times when coming out of our cars, and the phone is still working! Powers off/on, keeps battery charge no problem. A co-worker of mine also has this same model phone and his is working as well, but again the same not the best reception, as best reception to be expected from a flip phone I guess.

I have had this phone for about a year. I have put it through the washing machine and dropped it countless times. After finding it in the bottom of the washing machine I gave it a day to dry out and it worked perfectly. I have never had any problems with this phone. It doesn't have any fancy features just your basics but it does allow you to have different phone numbers for the same person without having to have separate entries. I've never dropped a call. It is sturdy and small. It doesn't look cheap.

Pro's
Virtually indestructible
Loud ring tones
Good reception (Cingular NE)

Con's
No Speaker
No camera

Overall this is an excellent phone for the money for someone who wants a cell phone for the purpose of making and receiving calls. If your looking for a cell phone to play with then this is not the phone for you.

User Review: FINE IF YOU DON'T ACTUALLY NEED TO USE IT

The phone looks good, it is light and convenient to carry around, and it is not fragile, but that is about the extent of good things about this phone.
Recently, my phone has started to miss calls (it does not ring when people call me), I rarely have service, about 50% of the time it will not allow me to make calls, nobody can hear me, when I am talking my voice comes back to me as though I were the person on the other line. Voice messages are often late being delivered, it has a tendency to change from ring to vibrate or vice versa all on its own, calls are frequently dropped, does not pick up signals from the newer cell phone towers... I could go on and on, but I think you get my point. The phone is not reliable, and beyond that, it is an absolute annoyance to not be able to make calls when you need to, or to have to scream so that whoever you are talking to can hear you!

First off, this might be the most durable phone I've ever come across. I've given this thing a beating during my 8 months with it. Most recently, I left it in a pair of shorts, and it got run through the washer and dryer, but it still works fine, only doesn't vibrate anymore. Impressive.
Everything else is great about it, just a basic phone for not much money at all. Call quality and reception are good on AT&T's service around the southeast. Works most everywhere, has no reception when my friend's phones (on a variety of carriers) don't either.
If you don't need freatures like a color screen, camera, or other bells & whistles, this is a great phone. And I often get comments on how small it is.

User Review: Great basic/spare phone

If all you need a phone for is talking, than this is perfect. Its very small and thin. There isn't a color screen, camera, or many games on it, but that makes the battery last fairly long for talk. Its easy to flip open and use. Call quality and volume is OK. The only problems I have with it is the headset jack is located too close to the hinge making it a little difficult sometimes for me to insert the headset without the screen in my way and you cant turn off keypad sounds in the "vibrate only" profile. I had a USB cable but I couldn't find any compatible software. Other than that, this phone is great for people who just need something basic or a spare phone.

User Review: Excellent Cell !!!

I have used this phone for 1 year and I absolutely love it. This is my 3rd cell and I would recommend this phone to anyone who needs a quality but basic phone that does what you need it to. It has some essential features such as side buttons for toggling between vibrate and ring, large spaced buttons, easy to use menu. T9 texting is a breeze, the ringer is loud enough to be obnoxious if you like and it has a strong vibe ring. I have dropped this phone 4 times onto cement and it never even shut off or came apart. The signal strength is awesome (Rogers service/Kelowna B.C) Talk time is about 100 minutes. 2 of my friends have the same model of phone and have never had problems either. You simply can't go wrong with this phone. It doesn't have alot of other fancy features, but hey it's a phone - what do you expect??

The only thing good I have to say about this phone is that it's light and easy to carry in my pocket. It drops calls EVERYWHERE--even in my house. My carrier is Cingular and I can be staring at a cell tower in the middle of my home town and I'm on EXTENDED! Hellooo! My display is all whacked out--letters upside down and backward or worse yet, NO display at all. This is the 2nd phone of this model I've had. The 1st one wouldn't hold a charge more than about 3 hours even in my pocket and unused. I want a PHONE not a gameboy so I don't really care about the display or games but I do like having caller ID and when this phone is in one of it's moods, I don't have it! I'll never get an LG again!

User Review: Worst Phone I ever used

My cell phone is my only phone. Consequently I am a heavy user and have been for over ten years. This has to be the worst phone I have ever used. I have used Nokia, Sony, Motorola phones with little or no problems. It has an annoying habit of responding "Emergency Only" at various times refusing the user the option to place a call. I have not found a pattern and neither has my provider - Cingular. I have used several phones with Cingular with out this problem so I know it is not a system problem. Cingular has replaced the phone three times and I still have the same problem. I am avoiding LG from now on.

User Review: It's a back up

Overall rating: 4 (out of 5)

Pro's-
* This has polyphonic ringtones
* Lightweight
* Clean looking
* Blue light, not the ugly Nokia green
*Good Reception
* REAL GOOD BACK UP PHONE, EXAMPLE: I HAD MY CAMERA PHONE JACKED AT SCHOOL, YOU CAN USE THIS AT SCHOOL INSTEAD OF THE $200 or $300 CAMERA PHONE. NO ONE WOULD REALLY JACK THIS PHONE!

Con's
*Greyscale
*Plastic is sorta cheap quality

I don't know if you could download ringtones or make them.

But overall it's a pretty good phone to use daily. Instead of having your other phone that is expensive and later you could sell for a good price.

This phone is garbage! No color screen, cheap plastic, and darn ugly. Bad reception, bad battery life, and crappy games. Everything you would not want in a phone. There are so many free phones out there that are so much better than this. Do not get tricked by salesmen to get this worthless piece of junk.

My wife and I used the LG 4010 for about 9 months now. She had to return hers twice, however mine has worked flawlessly. I'm not sure if my poor reception is the phone responsibility or Cingulars. I'm leaning toward Cingular, but thats a totally different topic. Otherwise the phone is easy to navigate and use. I would recommend if all you want is a middle of the road cell phone with none of the fancy stuff

While I like the design, I'm frustrated with several things. My carrier is ATT and the downloaded ringtones don't work. LG and ATT are pointing the finger at each other. Secondly, the Desktop program that is downloaded from the LG web site that moves ringtones from the PC to the phone doesn't work. It crashes ALWAYS. Again, LG says they are fixing it (AS OF 7-20-04). The address and phone book program works just fine, however. Finally, after being on the a 25+ minute call, the battery heats up and the call is dropped. I immediately redial and the same thing happens. This is a big issue for me as I spend a lot of time on the phone. When the phone cools down, everything is fine. In my area, Los Angeles, reception is mostly good. I plan to trade out before my 30-day window with ATT expires, if nothing is fixed by then.

I have owned 2 of these in less than 6 months. Both broke. Signal is ok at times.

PROS:
Signal ok, doesn't drop calls.

Ringtones (downloaded) are ok.

Lights up good on those 2am trips to the john, so you don't trip over the cat.
CONS:
Very poor sound quality.

Using a headset on this thing is not fun and sounds crappy.

Very cheap materials, falls apart too easy.

Gotta keep hitting buttons to keep the light on, doesn't light up automatic when a new page comes up on the GPRS (unlike the nokia I have now, or the Siemens my girlfriend uses)

GPRS seems a LOT slower on this phone.

In closing, the signal is great, but get insurance if you own this model.

I switched to GSM and was really unhappy with the decision� Until now. The things I ask from a phone are simple; Reception, a loud ring, and a strong vibrating alert. This phone fits the bill.

If you're looking for a fun phone with flashing lights and java games you should probably look elsewhere but if you want a solid working phone get this one.

I have had this phone since December with Cingular, I have had it replaced 3 times, all for the same issue, reception. Its a GSM band for them so it supposed to be better on reception, I was in a major city had 5 lines and I kept dropping calls every 2 minutes. I had the phone replaced, they said it was a software issue. I had the same thing next time but this time they said it was where I was where reception was poor, come on in a major city where every one else's phone works but mine? I don't think so, I replaced it again, so far I have to wait to even get the phone to pick up before it even dials out. Would I buy one again.....never.
