Good Phone
I've had the LG 5200 phone for about a week now and I think its a pretty good phone. The phone has a nice style to it with the sliver and blue.
Pros
Good reception
Speakerphone
Camera with flash
Loud ringer
Front LCD
Good battery life
Cons
The resolution is not so great
No bluetooth
Not a big selection of ringtones
I see alot of complaints about this phone and I don't understand why. The 5200 is a good phone especially if you are just looking for a simple phone with a camera, not one with a bunch of junk in it.
Miserable Phone
Purchased it first thing this morning, returned it an hour later. Bad reception for a tri-mode (West Palm Beach, Verizon), outside screen is about the size of my pinky nail, and the thing is ugly. I thought I would get over the ugliness factor if it was a good phone, but this thing is MISERABLE. LG really messed up again. Plus, this is practically the same phone as the 6100, but that one is a bit better. Wow.
Thank God It's Gone
This phone actually made me ANGRY. I don't know why, I don't usually get ANGRY at PHONES, but this one really ticked me off.
The phone didn't exactly impress me as far as features went, but I figured that LG build quality might be as good as Motorola's. When the antenna broke right off, and I couldn't make any calls, I decided I didn't have the patience to go through hell with this phone and get a FRU and whatnot. This thing is brand new, but guess what...
I threw it out the window on the freeway. I tried to use the voice dial and it just wouldn't respond. I'd had enough. I know I should have returned it and gotten my money back instead, but I guess I just needed revenge on the little piece of junk.
That was my LG VX5200 experience.
NO Using Your Own Ringtones
I was very pleased initially with the phone's reception, ease of use, the camera, and all for the price.
But then I found out that the newer phones they took away the ability to save your own voice notes/memos and set them as Ringtones.
So now you're stuck with purchasing dumb ringtones from either your wireless provider or some other company looking to cash in.
To me, I'm returning this phone and getting the older VX3300. I can't afford the 6100 but I can live without the camera, but don't take away making the phone personal with my own ringtones that I want.
