LG Vu Plus (black, AT&T)

Pros: Touch screen is easy to use and menus are easy to navigate (except music). Great reception--I can call people in concrete basements and text in places where no one else has reception. The screen itself is large and it's pretty easy to see everything.

Cons: Oh so many. Horrible, horrible battery life--it starts out fine when you first buy it, but it's only been ten months and the poor thing can't keep a charge for more than a few hours. The keyboard is acceptable but, like the review said, the keys are close

Summary: Do not buy this if you're interested in any sort of extras like music, camera, or...anything else. But if you want an AT&T phone that can call and text in dead zones, this is it. However, don't expect it to hold a charge for more than a year....I certainly can't. I'm buying a new phone as soon as I can afford it.

I did forget to add this is an incredibly forgiving phone. I've dropped it quite a few times on the floor or even on concrete and the most that's happen is that, yes, I broke the protective casing. (Which is why I say invest in them. It's annoying to replace them every few weeks by by God do they work.)
