"A good phone that could be great."
Pros: Great reception(Central Missouri). Nice size. Internal antenna. Nice menus. Good battery life. There's more, keep reading.
Cons: Backlight stays on when connect to the charger. Have to open the flip to adjust ringer volume. There's more, keep reading.
Summary: This phone was just what I was looking for.
A flip phone with an internal antenna there's
nothing more useless than an extendable
antenna), speakerphone, and voice activated
dialing. It never dropped a call except in
known dead spots. No problem hearing or
being heard. Despite LG's warning, hand
position doesn't interfere with the signal
strength. I was able to dial with one hand
fairly well. Decent display, easy to use
menus. It even has a tip calculator. I was
in love.
Then I started noticing things that might
sound picky, but I knew I'd never be
satisfied with. The backlight stays on
continuously when the phone is connect to
the charger. If a number is dialed manually
from the keypad, the phone doesn't translate
the number to the name associated with the
phonebook entry for that number. After
changing the ringer volume level, you'll
either have to press OK or wait a second or
two before closing the flip. Otherwise, the
old volume setting will still be in effect.
Also, the musical ringtones the are included
are not so good.
I returned the phone before the 14 day trial
was over.
