Second LG phone I have had & the last I really got for the QWERTY keyboard I have had it 7 weeks I charged it unplugged it turned it on the next morning it was fine.

Looked at it later it had turned itself off but would not turn back on noticed either side there was black marks I think the charger has burnt the screen out so it is going back tomorrow.

I also noticed that sometimes when texted messages came through the screen stayed blank did not matter what I did could not get that message to display had to take the battery out. Avoid at all costs, I will have to put up with another because I am on contract if the same problems occur I will buy myself a new one. These are rubbish.

OK, well when I bought this phone it was really good & very quick to use & also the battery life isn't too bad on it, but about a month later the phone started to turn its self off & also start freezing on me. Also when you touch the screen it isn't very reliable, & it isn't very sensitive either. But apart from all that the phone isn't that bad, at the beginning I had a little trouble with the memory card but that all. Ria x.

This phone is really bad all it ever does is freeze & now it won't let me send or recieve text messages, it has been nothing but trouble since I got it 10 months ago.To people looking at this phone I would recommend the Nokia N97 because it actually works.

This phone freezes all the time. When there is a text coming through you can do nothing on the phone until that text has arrived!

Recently mine has been turning itself off for no reason & driving me up the wall.

The phone looks good & the handset is easy to use but what is the point in having a phone that freezes so often?!

In all honesty I am really unsure about this phone. I haven't got it but looking at all the reviews on this page which have consisted of both negative & positive comments it makes it even harder for me to decide. I currently have the Genio Touch (which buy the way is horrifying terrible), & I really need to buy another phone. Some people say they have no problems with it, & that it works fine but then other say it shuts down, has a terrible touch screen & breaks easily. So if someone who bought it from O2 could tell me how their one was then that would be helpful :).

Awful. Got this from dial-a-phone as I needed a business phone and they were doing £300 cash back. I need to text a lot for work so the QWERTY keyboard on this is a good feature. However, this phone seems to suffer from inherent software problems. The first one I had went back as I tried to upgrade it to the latest software when I got it and it locked up on me. The replacement started giving problems after about a fortnight; it won't send texts sometimes when you push the "send" button on the touch screen. The button lights up as it should but the text just stays on the screen. Nothing else happens regardless of how many times you keep pushing "send". When you try to come out of the message it asks whether you want to save the unsent message to the drafts folder but if you push "yes" it doesn't actually come out of the message compose screen. You can only get out of it by choosing the no option. When you do get out of the compose screen you sometimes find that the message is in the "outbox" waiting to be sent. It never does send it, however. If you select the message, cancel the sending then go back into the message and click "resend" then it seems to send it but doesn't actually tell you that it's sent it. Sometimes, other than dropping it to the outbox it actually has sent it but doesn't tell you but dumps it into the "drafts" folder instead!!! The list of messages in my inbox isn't currently correct. You get a summary of the first few lines of each one after the name of the person who sent it. Unfortunately, sometimes when you select a message and open it the message body it displays is that of a message from someone else. Imagine my shock when opened a text from a girl at work only to see body of a message sent by the wife!!! It felt like the phone was trying to screw with my head. Another problem is that sometimes when you click to come out of the inbox to go back to the main text menu the phone freezes. I also seem to have problems with very poor reception but I don't know if that's down to the phone or the Orange network. Another thing I don't like is that the touch screen isn't particularly responsive and I find it difficult to scroll down the menus without going too far or not far enough. Having said that, I don't really like touch screen's to begin with. It's going back and if the replacement doesn't work then I'm getting something different.

A great phone, but the problem is it keeps turning itself off, especially when surfing the net or texting. It is happening so often now I am going to have to send it back. Had it for about 2 months & was great but made a call yesterday & mid conversation decided to switch itself off again & then back on. Otherwise this would be a great phone but not unless they can fix these problems which seem all too common.

DO NOT BUY! I got this phone first at 3 after 2 minutes STOPPED. Sent back.

Vodafone, Orange, Carphone warehouse, rubbish.

Went through everyone & at last only 02 works the rest just freeze up & stop.

Only problem is now twitter doesn't work :(.

I have recently owned the LG GW520 on T-mobile pay as you go. The handset is awful, on all the reviews it tells how it has a recurring problem about receiving texts, upon reading these reviews I decided to take the chance. I had to send the phone into T-mobile, who was literally useless, up to 6 times before they gave me my money back.

The phone itself is useless. Camera is good when kept very still, but there is no flash or auto focus. The LG menu type & interface is hard to use & bulky, in contrast to the new LG types. Texting is awkward when without the keyboard, but most of the time the phone doesn't allow you to send them (another fault). Internet is slow, & you constantly have to zoom in & out which can be awkward & clumsy.

All in all, I would not recommend this phone, considering the alternatives at so much better.

OK just bought this phone for 89 Euro's, & you get what you pay for. The camera quality is OK, the video playback is poor. The music player is good, the sound quality is low on loud speaker mode, & there's no 3.5 jack for normal headphones. But still the music through the LG headphones is good, the touch screen sensitivity average especially for a 89 Euro phone. It looks slick & fancy & with the qwerty keyboard text is really good. This is a phone for, calls, texting, & listening to music & MP3's & the radio which I wanted it for. It's no camera or video phone. Best at calling, texting & listening to music which is all I want. Cheers.

LG GW520 is a stylish phone & I like this phone so much but as soon as I had mine it kept auto switching off & clicking over buttons which I hadn't clicked. My network is very week & I keep losing network, also if you play music full it kept also switching itself off. I love this phone but the down side are those about on the good side it is easy to text & use windows live messenger which is built in & facebook. Viewing images is easy to use as well it's just like a LG Cookie with a Qwerty Board which is way easier to use when texting.

AMAZING! If you look at all the negative the only things that you can see are about it freezing & turning off. It isn't always the actual phone. It could be where you get it from. Make sure you get it from a trusted site or the network provider.

GREAT PHONE! WORKS WELL! EASY TO TEXT WITH!

I bought this phone a couple of days ago & already the screen has turned off automatically, I turned it back on & then it was working fine & since then I haven't really had a problem with it, I would recommend this phone but it has a couple of downsides with the touch screen :(.

I am so glad I ignored the bad reviews & got this phone! It's amazing, looks really good & after working it out I find it really easy to use! So much better than the Samsung's I've had before that have always broken!

So much better than any other phone I've looked at recently. The touch screen is sometimes unresponsive. But that's the worst I have to say about it.

Well I got this phone yesterday & turned it on for the first time yesterday. It was going fine for about a minute until the phone completely froze up & wouldn't even turn off. I had to take the battery out & now it just won't turn on at all. I tried charging the battery but it won't even do that! I am taking it back today & getting a new one. I am giving it another chance in case my phone was just faulty but if it happens again then I will just have to get another phone. I love the style with the QWERTY keyboard & the touch screen but I don't really know if it is all good, because I couldn't even use it for a minute. Hoping the new one will work!

I am getting this phone very soon. BUT! Everyone is saying that the phone is rubbish & keeps on freezing so I am questioning myself. I think the KS360 is really good since I do have it although I think having the touch screen makes it cooler? IS IT THOUGH?

PLEASE HELP ME! IS IT GOOD OR NOT? WHAT OTHER GOOD PHONE SHALL I GET INSTEAD? Help.

Reviewer: Amy Beard - Bognor Regis, UK

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! I have now had 3 of these phones! The first had a crack! The second one I had for 3 weeks then it suddenly wouldn't send texts, kept freezing, turning off on its own accord & generally slow etc, so I thought maybe I had got the runt of the batch so I got another one & it has now been a week & a half & the same thing has happened! Won't send texts, freezing, cutting off calls, turning off all the time & then won't turn back on until I take the battery out & put it back in again!

I am going to the shop tomorrow to get a completely different phone! I am fed up of having a phone that breaks on me! I would definitely not recommend this phone, which is a shame because I love the keypad & general layout but it just doesn't function as a phone! LG NEED TO GET ONTO THEIR MANUFACTURERS & STOP MAKING THEM!

This phone, on Orange is Terrible. Simple as.

Okay first the good things. The keyboard & the fact I broke it today so I get a new phone.

The bad things. The fact it's an LG. Everything lags out when you use it, the screen randomly blacks out, the phone does not feel that well built. The fact Orange have customised everything on it, making it even harder to use. The Internet browser on the phone is one of the worst ever. The screen scratches easily. If you get signal then you're lucky. I could go on all night, just avoid this phone.

I have this phone on an Orange 24 month contract.

I've only had this model since November 2009 & this is the third replacement handset I have received.

Within a few weeks the 'live square' feature was not updating properly, after complaining to my service provider they advised I contacted LG as it was a feature on the phone itself that was not working, I phoned up LG & I was told that my service provider would be able to exchange the handset & this was when I had the 1st replacement handset.

About a month after this, the new handset wouldn't allow me to send text messages, the touch screen was not responding when I clicked to send, so I complained to my service provided & they exchanged my handset again also the 'live square' again was not updating correctly.

Coming up to February 2010 & I am on my third LG GW520 handset, the live square still doesn't work, my messages are sending, but for some reason a few of them save into my drafts after sending as well as going into my sent items.

The signal on my phone is terrible, sometimes my phone doesn't even ring, it goes straight to voicemail.

So in conclusion this phone is rubbish. Rant over =).

I've only just got this phone but it's really easy to use. The Livesquare thing can be really annoying but you don't have to use it.

My only problem is the incoming message volume. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to increase it as my message volume is really low & I can hear it unless the room is completely quiet. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am looking to buy this phone & even though some of the reviews say it is not that good as a phone, I have had my heart set on it since October 2009. I don't really mind if it is a bit slow & all I do is text that is why this phone would be ideal because it has a QWERTY keyboard & if I need a stylus I will use the one from my Nintendo DS. I am really excited to be getting this phone I have always wanted a touch screen because I think they are so cool :).

Reviewer: Tron Fuente - UK

I have not just bought the phone today, I have had it for five months & it is dreadful.

Keyboard is great. Touch screen is good. Sound quality is moderate & the rest is just aweful.

Freezes, screen goes blank, buttons stop working, just turns off when it wants, won't send texts unless it wants to, drops calls.

The operating system is clumsy & using this phone for surfing the web is a form of torture.

When the price comes right down, buy one for the kids, but I am an adult & I need a phone that works when I need it to.

Don't take my word for it though, read the reviews & make your own decision.

DO NOT BUY! I bought this on 30 November 2009. It kept freezing & turning off. 12 days after I bought it NOTHING would work on it! The keyboard wouldn't work, the buttons on the front or the touch screen. I took it back to the shop & they wouldn't exchange it or give me a refund. I finally got a replacement after going to a solicitor. Three weeks later, it won't send text messages, make calls, keeps freezing & just shuts down! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! I know three people who have had the same problems with it. It's just ridiculous! It's not a brilliant phone to start with to be honest. It's just a waste of time & money! I've had two of these phones in just over a month, & they're both totally broke. PLEASE, DO NOY BUY!

Really nice phone, freezes occasionally but other than that is a really good phone.

It's really easy to text on & has a good option for threaded messaging.

Would recommend if you don't mind the occasional freeze up or double tapping of the touch screen.

To anyone who is planning buying the LG GW520 I would advise they don't as it is not a great phone, even though I do like the keyboard & camera but the touch screen is not very good & the live square in annoying & I never understood it!

I haven't purchased this phone yet that would explain why I have put features & usability at 50%, but I keep flicking through the Argos book a couple of days ago & LG GW520 caught my eye & so did LG KS360. So I have been looking at the reviews for both of them & heard there are several problems on KS360 & less on GW520. I am only a younger user & I don't know which one to choose LG KS360 looks amazing but GW520 has touch screen & QWERTY keyboard. Before this I have had Samsung J700 which is my first phone :\ ahh didn't really like that :S, so can anyone help me on which one is better? LG KS360 or LG GW520 (Tough Choice) I really like GW520 better because of the features, is there any problems with that phone? Help me out please.

Reviewer: Lee - London, UK

The design of the phone is very good, the QWERTY keyboard makes it even better but the touch screen is very poor it doesn't always work & the live square touch screen is a rubbish feature.

The LG KS360 is far a better phone & I would advise people to go for that one if they are looking for a QWERTY keyboard phone.

Just got this phone today & I LOVE IT! Came from 6 years of using Nokia which is the easiest phone to use & have only taken a couple hours to get used to this one, so very good :-) a couple things weren't in the instruction booklet, like how to get rid of live square but the comments below were very helpful on that note. Really practical phone & good music player, good camera, clear layout, so I would definitely recommend getting this phone. Let's see if it stands the test of time!

I love this phone! I had it for Christmas, & I absolutely love it! Don't listen to the some of the few horrible reviews on this phone. If you're looking for a phone to text from easily, & go on the Internet, this is a great phone for that! The QWERTY keypad is really easy to use when you get used to it, & the touch screen is good. It responds quite quickly & I have no idea why some people are saying it's unresponsive. I have no complaints with this phone. Although, I haven't had it long. If I come across any faults with it then I will hold my hands up & say I was wrong. I think this phone is a lot like marmite, you'll either love it or hate it. & I love it!

Has all the great feature you now come to expect with an LG, sure it looks the business, but has very few good usable & effective features, way behind others on the market. & by the other features I mean, freezing, turning itself off. The norm.

Poor, poor phone, I bought online so only saw its looks on a computer screen. Do not but this phone, so many other alternatives on the market.

I love this phone, got it the other day & haven't put it down since! Just a pity my guinea pig has chewed through the charger, it's a really good phone, easy to use but I think that a stylus would be good for it because sometimes the buttons are too small. But other than that it's really good! :).

Would definitely recommend it.

I am not a photographer I just want a phone that I can take pictures on.

Good solid phone albeit with a few quirks. Touch screen not the most responsive & smooth scrolling is an acquired skill but keypad feels good to type with & enough features for what I need although it clearly isn't a Smartphone. A stylus would be a good touch I think. Oh & to get rid of the truly awful Livesquare simply scroll right or left across the screen & your wallpaper (together with your sanity) will be restored.

I have got the KS360 phone & for Christmas I would like this phone. The KS360 is only a touch screen on the number pad, but this phone looks perfect for touch screen use, which you can use full time. I am delighted with the KS360 but this phone looks more high tech & my type of thing. The design looks incredible & I excited just to have a touch screen phone, but this phone even has the added bonus of a QWERTY keyboard. I need to know if it is strong & able to with stand being taken everywhere & not break as soon as you pick it up. Please give me advice.

Got this phone several days ago & I can't put it down it has every feature going. The design is superb a very good usable & durable QWERTY keyboard is class for texting this phones only downfall is that it doesn't have a stylus which it probably needs as the touch screen can be fussy.

Reviewer: Christopher - Derry, UK

Avoid. This mobile is not as good as everyone has made it out to be. I owned it for 2 weeks & LG's notorious software glitch hit hard & broke it. But while I had it I can tell you this, the QWERTY keyboard is decent. But the responsiveness of the touch screen is a complete joke, it's awful. & another thing, it couldn't be any slower if LG wanted it to be. It's so slow & unresponsive. Don't buy LG phones please they aren't good, I would recommend a Samsung Tocco or a Samsung Pixon. There a few pound dearer but they are far superior, I bought a Pixon yesterday & it is very good, 8 megapixel camera, responsive touch screen, widgets, apps, 3 home screens. All for £198. A complete bargain. But please avoid the LG GW520 at all costs :(.

I have had this phone for almost a month now & apart from the small issues you get with every phone it's perfect. Sometimes on trying to access the camera from the button on the side of the phone it says that it is conflicting with the gallery & therefore doesn't open, but switching the handset off fixes this. The touch screen can also be less than responsive at times, but once you get used to it, it works well. I have also noticed that the case scratches easily, & the live square function seems to pick random contacts.

Aside from these minor problems it is a smartly thought out phone which delivers well for its price. Texting with the QWERTY keyboard is much quicker than regular texting, & the camera is good quality. Having previously had Nokia's I was debating whether to get another, but the GW520 was definitely the best choice. It does everything you'd want this standard of phone to do, & on the whole it does it very well.

Hi all I bought this phone yesterday to replace my old HTC dual touch, I like the phone very much & a great keyboard on phone if anyone out can tell me how to use the live square please do as there is no instructions on how to use it or how to open the application I am on O2 network & I could not get the live sq to work, touch screen is good & ringtones OK the slider tone is not very loud to which is a shame, good camera & call quality, handbook not very clear, comes with games, good for Internet & the widgets are good but not easy to drag back off screen to the slide bar on screen.

Overall a decent phone for £150.00

Reviewer: Matt - UK

Not a very good phone. The design is OK, but the screen is barely responsive. You need to press really hard for it to work & when you try dragging things around it is terrible. If you're not used to QWERTY keyboards don't get this because it's not very good, & the normal text function on the phone is ridiculously cluttered with all other touch buttons. Avoid.

To disable live square just change your wallpaper. Then it will be gone because I don't like it, it says people who I haven't spoke to for ages! Yeah so just change your wallpaper.

Have phone for 2 days now & it's a lot of fun. Loads of cool features, qwerty keyboard is roomy. Internet is very fast. Push email very fast. Camera, video recorder & music player are all top quality. Whole phone feels well made & strong. I can't get used to the up & down slider though which is used to scroll menu pages when there are extra tasks. It doesn't respond very well & you have to try a few times to get to bottom of scroll bar. Mind you this is my first touch screen device. Also while I think the live square option is a good idea I hate the graphics as they are very childish animations with bits moving around. I suppose it is not marketed as a business phone & maybe there will be a downloadable update soon. If anyone knows how to disable live square please post in review. Had only Nokias for years & was unsure about LG but I am converted.

Overall very happy. Cool PHONE.

OK, this phone is amazing, I got it the other day, had it about 2 or 3 days now, & I can't put it down! The features are amazing, the Live Square is so useful when you want to keep in touch & the touch screen is fantastic! The buttons on the QWERTY keyboard look quite small, but actually their not, but isn't that good for people who have thick thumbs. It's tricky to get at first but you text so much quicker! It's great for social networking sites & Windows Live Messenger. The camera is really good to, as it is a 3 megapixel camera, which isn't that high, but the photo quality is amazing! The video on it is also fantastic. The MP3 on the phone is quite loud, plays songs with no jumps or skips. The sound when chatting on the phone is also good, you can hear people perfectly & they can hear you, & the same with speakerphone. The battery life is OK, depends on how much you use it, if your someone who text's people a lot then battery will last longer, but if you chat a lot, it won't last that long. I say 3 to 4 days on average. Hope all this helps!

Hi. I do not have this phone yet, hence the reason why I have rated some 50%, but so far it looks quite good. I have been reading reviews on this phone & they are all positive.

I recently owned this phones little brother, the KS360, & I am hoping it's a big step up. The phone could do with a bit more on the design, & a few more colours. I am a huge fan for touch screen phones & the QWERTY keyboard is just the cherry on top! No it's not a Smart phone & all but I don't need one to be fair & also it's quite cheap compared to other touch screen phones with QWERTY keyboards. I was thinking of getting the Samsung Tocco but seeing the Keyboard on this just made me dive for it. I am getting tomorrow & ill see if I can put a review up.

So far my thoughts are very positive! :D.
