LG GD550 Pure - User Reviews

  • This would be a really good phone except one thing: The damm thing goes completely dead when the battery runs down without any warning. I got caught several times. Not any more...I gave away this phone for free. Sorry LG. Not for me. Aidan Heffernan

  • I think its a great phone. But I tend to think they actually copied the Nokia 65OO slide design. otherwise it a great phone.

  • lg 's main problem is user interfaces.....they are too simple and too oldy........

  • 6700 slide is better and cheaper

  • This Phone is much older than x3

  • This phone look like Nokia X3 WTH .

  • check out the Sony Ericsson Hazel for the same price with Wifi too LG make shit phone only the look .

  • Oh, thanks. I wasn't aware of this one - just reading the GSMArena review. I'll have to check out if it's available in my country (Croatia) as there's a problem with PayPal (they don't allow sending money to here, so if I decide to return something I can't get my money back). Cheers!

  • I don't know whether you were just being ironic or not, but the closest thing that comes to mind is Samsung s7220 ultra-b - that's available (for about 100 EUROS though, sorry, but as I said, that's the closest thing I know) in ebay.

  • hi all, im planning to buy this unit, just want to know if LG has software similar to Nokia's PC Suite? where i connect my phone to pc via bluetooth and send/receive message thru my pc? tks in advance!

  • This is a Great Photo with more metal and Stable for Senior users (eg. no SNS application)

  • Hmmm... do you know of a phone with 5MP and autofocus I could get for $100 without signing a contract? Preferably in Europe? And I mean something that doesn't go online for every small silly thing like Android or iOS, my mobile internet is expensive. And I don't mean a used phone.

  • whoa... I'l think about buying this handset only and IF ONLY it costs less tahn $100. If it's not, then I have words for LG, "Hey LG!!! Wake up bro!!! This is Q3 2010, not 2006!!!" 5MP without HD recording on a feature phone without internet connection? L-A-M-E

  • Good Phone !!! BUT Damm LOUSY ACCESSORIES See the headset ??? please la use 2.5mm or 3.5 mm la so outdated LG still using their own Proprietary headsst jet LG=LOUSY

  • its too late now we have already used nokia 6500 as same at it

  • this phone is beautiful, i want this phone, if u r a nokia fanatics, go away, lol,

  • Exactly! I don't want an internet phone, I have a computer for that and don't want to pay for the same thing twice. Just a normal phone with good camera and when I'm outside I need a camera, not internet. I go out to take a rest from internet and if I see something nice I'll photograph it. Now, this one or SE Hazel...?

  • DON"T BUY THIS PHONE! what were these guys thinking. i've never owned a phone that doesn't have some kind of external indication (light) for missed phone calls, voicemail, charging status. i guess we're just supposed to wonder about these minor things. So it's supposed to be stunningly simple, great for the older set. they just want a simple phone with big numbers. oh, the numbers on the key pad are quite big enough. unfortunately, those numbers are pathetically tiny on their "extra large" 2.4' screen. what did they do with all that open space...absolutely nothing. even the power level is crammed up top, in black and white, along with all the other indicators up there. end result... it all looks like a white blur. i paid $240 for this piece of junk with mid nineties user interface. DON'T BUY IT!

  • tgis is the worse i have ever seen.nokia rules lg u r a looser and lifes gay for ppl who supports lg.nokia rocks

  • Looks like a really good phone for all the lil boys and gals that are stil in school. lol but thats the trut

  • i think lg sucks in handsets

  • HI WOW if this handset screen goes OLED 16 m color with this spec. and sure a little lighter 132gr and more thinner (for example 11 or even 10 mm thickness)it'll be a good to try . and its by no mean near nokis devices (this LG is really cooler than nokias) just look at the phone itself (i think its aluminium body :)) ) and the UI , by it looks , it IS PERFECT FOR A DEVICE IN THIS RANGE but yes the D-pad looks a bit like nokia other than this the phone is SO LG which is Good but maybe there is room for a bit larger screen though (2,6 is gooooooooooood) by the way dont get on the way ONLY SAMSUNG WAVE (but i hate the 5mp of the camera maybe we should wait for the handsets with CCD or CMOS Large sensores I dont Know)......................................THE ULTIMATE MIND.................................

  • You better take a careful look at the specs, Darius. You don't want to be embarrassed. This phone is superior to Nokia 6700 Slide in a few ways, except for the screen type. This model can capture videos at 720x480@30fps vs a measly, pathetic VGA@15fps. While this is true, The Nokia made up for it with better screen, albeit smaller, faster connectivity, and also Symbian OS v9.3, S60 rel. 3.2. With these, you cannot, I repeat, you can absolutely NOT say this is a copy.

  • Nokia 6700 slide copy

  • 65k display not enough looks really nice features are good but only disadvantage color samsung is really doing good in display and other features also what happen to LG they all belong to same country

  • video recording is lokin gud

  • Looks beautiful to me. Why the low rating?

  • Finally one phone not simbian,not windovs,not android.but with good camera and good video....bravo for lg,simplle phone for simplle people who live simplle life but with phone who have good cvality for happy moments in our lives.

  • Looks awesome.akash from nepal madarchod.

  • not much details in this 'pure' handset... awaiting... looks OK

  • Looks like a really good phone for mid range market
