"VX 5300 freeze up"
Pros: Cheap and functional
Cons: Freeze up and miss calls
Summary: I have bought two LG VX5300 on November 2006 and have experienced 'freeze-up' several times. There has been no consistent cause to make VX5300 frozen, I can think of. Once the phone freezes up, removing and restoring the battery is the only way to make phone reset. It seems to me that the problem may occur from some software problem (I am a software engineer). I am hesitant to exchange to another one because if the problem is what I am suspecting, all the phone will have the same problem. I have to have a cell and if exchanging won't solve the problem, I don't know what to do. Just reboot whenever the freeze occurs. But sometimes people call my office becasue they can't reach me through my cell, and I notice that my cell has been frozen, although generally I don't know how long it has been.

... but verizon and LG act as if they've never heard of it. Check here and check google to see just how many people have been affected. You should have rated this "abysmal".

I'm not getting calls and it freezes when I make calls.

With my 1st I had no problems til 1 day it froze I rebooted it, then it did it again a few days later and I couldn't get the phone on past the Verizon screen. I went to Verizon and they traded it for a new 1(which ment I lost everythin on that phone)The new one freezes very infrequetly but normally while I'm doing something, very annoying.

I have experienced the same thing - I'm on my third phone and every one of them does it once or twice a week. The tech agrees with you that it's a bad software load; however, I have a friend with the same phone who has never had a problem. Frustrating.
