Overall, pretty good.
This phone is actually a very nice phone, with pretty high quality materials and good voice quality, sharp display, pretty nice and easy interface and many many features... ("Sprint One Click" is an intuitive interface and is customizable). A 1 GB mini SD card is included. Overall, very impressed.
Some cons, though:
- No dedicated speaker key! You must press soft keys / options during a call to activate / de-activate speaker.
- Speaker is on back, so conversations or music actually are facing direction AWAY of you.
- Camera is mediocre at best. Bad even for todayâs cell phones. More MP, and a focus option would be nice.
- Likewise, maximum resolution for video is 176x144 â very low even by cell phone standards.
- Display (2.0" diagonal) is quite small, compared to other QVGA displays, making all letters numbers extremely small, one of the smallest I've ever seen on cell phones, even when set for big lettering (although they're sharp). (2.2" would be better).
- Navigation keys can not be set for your own shortcuts! Something that most other cell phones do! I could not believe this! I still hope LG will correct this flaw with a software update.
- Poor selection of ringers (especially compared to my previous Samsung M520)
- Only 2.5 mm jack.. Would love to see a 3.5 mm, and this should become the new standard.
- USB / charger jack is on side of phone, not on bottom which would be much more comfortable and flexible.
- Not a biggie, but the MUNU/OK letters does not light up.
Again, to sum up, it is a beauty of a phone, and there is a lot to like. Folks who have difficulties reading small text need not apply. I hope LG will take note and improve upon this nice phone, and the new one should be a winner!!!
New phone - returning it!
Nice shape and look. I'm primarily using the phone for calling and texting. Font on phone is very small -including the large font! Very hard to text using buttons on keypad. Annoying ding right before call goes thru. text goes through before confirming that you want to send it.Bubbles on Home page cover screen saver.
