"Best Phone for Sprint Service"
Pros: Great look and feel, sound quality, loud ringer, camera, micro SD, tons of features, and so far great battery life.
Cons: Vibration needs to be longer and more powerful to be noticed.
Summary: This phone is probably the best phone available for Sprint service right now. In terms of features nothing even comes close except the A920 and that is roughly the size of a brick. The phone is light and thin, not much thicker than the A900, and gets much better reception and battery life (I am getting nearly double the talk time now). So far this phone is superior to my old A900 in every way possible. Too early to talk about durability but LG does make quality products so I'll have to repost about that. I really like this phone and my only gripe so far would be the somewhat inferior vibration ability.Updated
I have totally grown to love this phone, the best I have owned yet hands down. Initially I hated the vibration setting but have grown accustomed to it (it is strong but the pulse is short). I am still impressed with all of the features and how seemlessly they work. Durability remains solid (only dropped once from my pocket in sitting position) as expected. Best of all the battery life has increased over the past month. I rarely turn the phone off and even when I do not plug it in at night I go through the entire next day and am left with 2 bars (of 4). Go buy one already.Updated

At the nearly three month point my initial review of this phone stands at a 9.5. I have grown acustomed to the "inferior" vibration mode; which is powerful but short in duration. I am continually amazed by the battery life in this as it has increased over the last 8 weeks; even when using the multimedia functions. Battery lasted 6 days on standby while on vacation (since I was not accepting calls - only returning urgent ones). Ringer volume and sound quality are tops and navigation is also a breeze. The casing and paint can also take some abuse as I do nothave a cover and this is in impeccible shape still. This highly customizable feature packed little phone is still in my opinion the best phone available for any service right now. It is unquestionably worth every penny; and the only other gadget I have ever said that about is my Zen MicroPhoto.
My only gripe is the lack of earpiece volume when in a crowded place like a bar; needs to go on a 1-8 scale like the A900.Updated
Well, after five months I can truly say that I am impressed with the workmanship of LG products; this being my first. After 5 months of decently heavy usage the paint is still flawless, the buttons are firm, and the closure is authoritative. I assumed the Fusic would stand the test of time being heavy for its size but I am truly flat-out impresed. Battery life is still astounding and the sound quality of ringtones gets me compliments all of the time for its clarity at high volume (even with the vibration on). I finally got to use the built in mp3 player when the battery in my MicroPhoto dies at the gym and it worked better than I thought. Overally still a 9.5 Go buy one already.
