"One good phone!!!"
Pros: Music player, great features, very good battery, clear reception
Cons: Can't set songs as ringtone
Summary: This is the best phone I've ever had, I've been a fan of LG for a while. I had a LG 1400i with AT&T but I dumped them and purchased this phone the first day it came out and I don't regret it. This phone is great, it holds it's signal so there won't be any dropped calls. It has a 2mp camera that is crystal clear, it's also a video camera. The sound quality is great, everything sounds so clear and loud. It's also a MP3 player which holds 1GB of music before you have to add a microSD card. The best thing about this phone is the FM transmitter. You set your home/car stereo on a dead FM station and you can play the songs on your phone thru the stereo.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that you can't save any of your songs as your ringtone. You have to purchase VCast for an extra $15/month in order to set songs as ringtones. However I found a free website that will let you upload songs to their site and then they'll send it to you in a text. It's phonezoo.com and it's free. So now when people call me I can assign them their own ringtone. Also the outside of the phone looks like it can get scratched very easily so you may need a cover or holder to protect it. I'm also disappointed that Verizon can't transfer my address book from my old phone into this one, they say the new chocolate isn't in their database yet. They should have done this before they began selling the phone.
The battery on this phone is great, I can go 2 days before I have to charge it and that doesn't take very long at all. The speakerphone is cool as well, it's pretty loud so you can hear the caller very well. Other reviews mentioned that the buttons were kinda slick, well it's not something that you can't manage. They're not as slick as the RAZR, I have no problem punching numbers or texting with one hand.
The navigation wheel is pretty cool too, you don't have to open the phone to control the music player. This phone is just perfect for making calls, it's not too big to hold in your hand. It fits nicely in your pocket or on your hip if you have a holder.
Overall this is a great phone it has a lot of features that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. It's durable, dependable, sleek, and well built. Of course there will be people who complain about this or that but bottom line is if you are thinking about getting this go to a Verizon store and hold it and try it out. Once you do that I'm sure you will like it. That's what I did and I don't regret it, especially once they told me that I could get 2 of these for free!! I'm sold.
