"Be aware - you can't increase font size!"
Pros: Great keypad, large inside screen, excellent sound quality, long battery life
Cons: Small front buttons, can't increase font size
Summary: I loved the internal keypad on this phone for text messaging, the sound quality was great and the battery life was also outstanding. However, I returned the phone after two weeks because it does not allow you to adjust the font size. The front screen is basically worthless, you can't make the clock or the date large enough to read, they are literally about a 4 point font. And even on the large internal screen you cannot increase the font size so if I was walking or heaven forbid - driving, it was impossible to read texts. I am 33 years old with 20/20 vision and never felt I had trouble seeing things before, but this literally drove me crazy because I would have to stop what I was doing and steady the phone in order to read a message. And that takes the fun out of having the great keyboard to send messages so easily! Such a simple option I can't believe LG did not include it, but I had to switch over to another phone that I can read more easily. I also had trouble with the down arrow key on the front and often found myself hitting the button underneath it when I meant to hit the down arrow button. It is also quite a large bulky phone which I wasn't wild about. If none of these issues would bother you, then this is a great phone. Good luck!
