I love the look of this phone but I don't like the idea of the slide up! Can you use it differently for example, does it have the touch screen like another LG phone?

I like the phone & think it looks good but it doesn't offer as many features & options to personalise as more basic phones.

Does anyone know how I can add exisiting contacts into a new group so I can assign a ringtone? I have followed the manual but it doesn't work.

A great phone! Easy to use & a nice size & weight.
To the person who posted earlier about how to make the phone vibrate on text messages, the solution is to trick the phone.

- Go to Profiles.

- Choose 'Customised'.

- Set Alert by to 'Ring & Vibrate'.

- Set the volume to 0.

Now when the phone rings or you get a text message the phone will vibrate for all.

I got this phone a couple of weeks ago & I love it! The only query I have is that when it's on silent & you receive a text its doesn't vibrate, so you have to keep checking your phone to see if you have any messages but it does vibrate & ring when you have it set on loud, can someone tell me am I doing something wrong? To the person who was thinking of getting a Motorola, personally I don't like Motorola's I think there to complicated & have to many limitations I.e. Memory, ring tones etc. But it's your choice. If I didn't have this phone I would have gone for a Samsung or Sony Ericsson. But apart from that I think it's the best phone I have had. At the minute no company has devised a phone everyone likes it's up to you what you're willing to put up with & what you won't. When they do release a 'perfect' phone let me know!

I got this phone today, & have spent all afternoon setting it up how I want it. First thing I did was install the synchronising software. After I had set the options as to what was synchronised & to where, I tried to sync & it kept failing. Eventually I figured out I was connected to the Internet at the time, so I shut down the connection & had no problems after that. I transferred all my contacts from my Sony Ericsson W850i to Outlook on my PC, then transferred them to the LG. Worked like a charm.

The touch screen is new to me, so I am making the odd mistake, but generally it works fine. The jog wheel is brilliant. I've removed the options I don't want, & added the ones I did. I personally like the position of the wheel, it sits just right under my index finger. The physical size of the phone compares well against my W850i, it's slightly longer & wider, but much thinner. As for the weight, I find it's pretty similar.

Once I get a SD card, I'll set about putting some music on it. I've added one WMA file for my ring tone, which seems to work fine. The connection cable supplied also charges the phone, which is a good idea, as not all do. My only minor complaint is the headphones. Why do manufacturers insist on making one ear piece so close to the split, so the ear piece keeps getting pulled out? My w850i has the same problem. I'll be sourcing a replacement pair pretty quickly. To finish on a positive note, the connector the headphone use is a standard 3.5mm jack so you can use any headphones.

My score for this phone is 8 out of 10. No Wi-Fi knocked the score down.

I've had this phone for just over a week & I am still trying to decide whether to keep it or change it for something else (Motorola Z10 looks good). I find the touch screen buttons are slow to react, can't find vibration for incoming calls & connecting to the LG software only works occasionally before losing its connection. I find it to be quite heavy & bulky (remember the old brick phones). I like the wheel & I wish I could keep that on the home screen permanently.

It has some good ringtones & seems to take pretty good pictures but it's not the easiest of phones to get used to. The unlock button is situated right next to the camera capture button so I've accidentally hit the capture button on more than one occasion!

Things I like.

- Far far better that the Prada I had for a week, the vibration feedback on the touch screen really works well (but see below).

- the numeric slide out pad also makes a big difference to usability.


Things I don't like.

- the scroll wheel's speed cannot be adjusted (&, for me, on the wrong side as I am predominantly right handed).

- Sometime a touch screen function needs to be selected twice to activate.

- Some buttons do not vibrate at all (verified on another Virgo, when a call is active, the unlock, mute & loudspeaker buttons do not vibrate)

- the manual is very very basic, & leaves a lot to trial & error, e.g. No mention of how to get the cool quarter circle menu displayed (push the button below the scroll wheel).

I've had this phone for a day now & have had a few teething problems.

The major one is the PC to phone software, it will connect but none of the functions will work so going to try it at work tomorrow.

I used the Internet to find a recipe for meatballs last night which was useful. Although nowhere close to the usability of the iPhone! Mainly due to the user interface which gets quite annoying. A lot! As well as the touch screen needed precise (I.e. Stylus) contact to hit a lot of the buttons.

Hopefully I'll solve a lot of these problems but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. LG could do well to work on their GUI. They do seem to make good products though.
