"Great phone (4.5 / 5 stars)! Way to go LG!"
4.5 starson by dbozardPros: QWERTY keyboard, touch screen vibrations, works with stylus (or pen), call quality, speakerphone, compact, battery life, customizable, camera.
Cons: Browser could be better, wallpaper doesn't rotate
Summary: I have only had this phone for 2 days but so far I am LOVING IT! I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with this one or go with the Samsung Impression. I am really glad I picked this one especially for how much cheaper it is.
One thing that I want to point out about this touch screen is that unlike the iPhone (which I had), you can use a stylus pen or any other pointed pen/pencil with it. Sometimes when I am on the browser my fingers are too big to click on a small link, this is where a stylus can be handy!
The keyboard is a little cramped but you get used to it very fast. I love the touch screen vibrations it has. Whenever you touch the screen the phone vibrates ever so slightly to make it feel somewhat like you are really pushing buttons.
The call quality is great and LOUD, the speakerphone works well too. I haven't had any problems with batter life yet either (and I text a lot). When you slide open the QWERTY keyboard the wallpaper doesn't rotate although all the menus and button icons do (not too big of a deal).
Overall, I would definitely recommended this phone!

Actually, the touch screen works amazingly only until something goes wrong with it. I had the phone for a year, and one month after the factory 1-year warranty expired, the digitizer (touch screen) went out. No longer functioned. For an entire month while I ordered a replacement part on eBay, the phone was completely unusable due to the touch screen not working. It was easy to replace the part, but only if you know what you're doing and are coordinated enough to work with small parts, since you have to take the entire phone apart (including numerous tiny screws that are easy to lose).
Also, for MP3 ringtones, the file has to be a ridiculously small size -- below 300kb -- so it's almost not even worth it. -
how do i get an mp3 song as my ring tone??

I've never had any problems with the touch screen, but some times navigation on the web browser is tricky.
& basically, all ringtones go to your Audio folder once you've downloaded them (myxer.com is great) and you can use any ringtone (one you've downloaded online or one of the presets) to play when you've recieved a message. Is that what you were asking? :] -
The touch screen works amazingly all the time.
