Pros Camera and Size. That is about it.

Cons Texting
Touch Screen
Quality
Call quality
Slow
Spazzes out.

Summary This is BY FAR the worst cell phone i have ever had! The texting is HORRIBLE! And the touch screen is so slow. I miss my old brick phone which is sad. Whenever i would be typing a text, and i would get another incoming text it wouldnt let me go back to the text i was recently typing. I would get a message that said "Message is Being Sent" Or some nonsense like that. And then i would have to start over! The touch screen sucks. It is way slow and has to catch up to what im doing..
The alarms you set up, never go off. When im trying to call someone the screen will go blank and i'd have to turn it off and restart it. I have to restart my phone like 45 times just to make a simple call! This is ridiculous. This phone should be taken off the market. Its terrible and makes me stress oout.

Pros The Encore is very sleek and lightweight. Sometimes, I forget it's in my pocket. It also has a great camera and a diverse range of features, like a scientific calculator, Bluetooth, unit converter, etc.

Beware of everything else.....

Cons The touchscreen is horrible. Definitely the worst i've ever experienced. Also, the phone is very sluggish and often lags far behind what I'm doing, (which is usually just trying to make a phone call!)

Summary Really, this phone has an awful touchscreen. I always have to physically apply pressure for it to recognize that it is being touched. It also lacks precision which can't be fixed, no matter how many times it is calibrated. Sometimes, not even the buttons work! Occasionally, when I am being called, this happens:
-Phone rings
-screen is black
-buttons unresponsive
-touchscreen, as usual, doesn't work
-how do you answer?

Simple. I DON"T! *** is this phone's problem? To fix this, i have to remove the battery and restart the phone. Which is a pain itself because there is no way to remove the back without a laser cutter due to LG not putting any type of grip on the cover plate.
One other feature that originally attracted me to the phone was how I could plug in my 3.5 mm earbuds into it, instead of having to go buy a pair of crappy $25 headphones designed for the phone specifically. I was immediately disappointed, because the sound quality really sucks. It is bad. Distortion and everything. No, it isn't my earbuds.

Aesthetically, the phone is very pleasing, and it does have a great camera and call clarity is good. However, everything else makes this phone a train wreck with LG's logo on the front.

Don't buy! DO NOT WANT!

Pros Light and small.

Cons Everything else. Touch screen is terrible, texting is a nightmare, the horizontal/vertical orientation rarely works properly. Navigation is horrible overall.

Summary A cheesy, poorly engineered iPhone wannabe. Steer clear.

Pros The design is great, looks great.

Cons Not user friendly, to sluggish,
