Worst phone I've ever owned.

Camera is good, but after that it's all bad news. This phone is sluggish, ugly & unreliable. I'd have given it 0% usability if I could, because the messaging service is the worst I've ever seen & it is horrifically unreliable, crashing all the time.

I don't know if all LG's are this bad, but I for one have been put off for life.

The problem I have is when you put the phone on speaker you do not hear properly. The sound is up to 5. I had a former LG Shine which was up to 7 on the volume control that was perfect.

I have had this phone for a week & it is wonderful. I was debating on a phone & camera but no need, just the one item. Very easy to use & stylish, I love this phone. It is idiot proof. The large screen is very helpful & even in sunlight it is easy to read. The sound is very clear when making & receiving a call.
