  • You are quite correct Mohan, LG GX 500 is super slow, I felt throw it away once in a trafic jam but helplesly still depend on it. With it features & look it may be the most decent type of dual sim phone available to market at that time. However, still LG commonly have this slownness in every phone.

  • You are right duminda, Abans phone repair section has good set up but when they are pushed they become madness. However, the best thing is to go to them not to go for pity third parties, in srilanka there is no guranteed service providers.

  • Touch screen is very slow, it cause me a headache when I make research for name, or update phone number in the phone book. I asked the after service center and they informed me that the CPU of this model is slow, so if you have little patience when you use it, you might throw it away. So, try to be patient when use it and wait 30 second till the screen page will be changed.

  • Does any of you know how I can change the sound of the alarm on the calender. The standard sound "Alarm Clock.mid" is an irritating very loud noice and can't be changed or lower the sound of it. Can any of you help, if I could I would remove this .mid file but I don't know where I can do this.

  • The phone is good, but too slow when searching for contact.

  • I'm using this mobile since 10 months. Good solution for 2 active lines, you can receive a call on a line while your talking on the other one. But poor software, very slow, especially when you are looking for a contact. Poor applications, not good for internet browsing. Camera is good for photos, but not good for videos. In general it is expensive comparing with the mobile options (in Egypt LE 999)

  • how to i put contacts on my call reject list?

  • the software is very slowly

  • GOOD but actually slow. you cant see a contact detail while a call. not worth for the price. but handy looking.

  • D fone is absolutely fantastic

  • Happy and satisfied with LG GX500!!!

  • i have the same problem which was stated by a group of users, there is a long delay for about 30 seconds in the response after touching the screen and the a horrible problem during searching the contacts specially if you are holding a call it may take u about 50 seconds to open the contact list.

  • Loved the phone in the beginning. I actually changed to Motorola EX115 but changed back in a heartbeat. My problem now is that the touch screen on this phone sucks! I have tried in vain to calibrate the thing but it just does not respond. ..... :-( . I am just waiting until I can get my hand on the Samsung Galaxy Pro Young Duos then switch.

  • Uselsss as a rock with cow dung on it....down with LG....however...i dropped the phone into water...it stopped working...rpair cost was almost 50% of actual price of the phone...i didnt bother to repair it...surprise...after 6 months the phone is working now...but as slow as before and u literally need to bang the touch screen to make it work!!!!

  • i am using the said lg gx500 for the past one year.it is not good for this value becuase if i give sms it crumbles (group sms upto 50) sometimes touch speedly works sometimes very very slowly eventhough i am using one gb memory card.

  • very bad very slow please don't buy

  • browsing 450 contacts is a pain. have to wait for 15 to 20 seconds before i can scroll. anyone having the same issues?

  • The only thing i did not like in this cellphone when ever you use it it makes your head HOT and dessy!!!!!

  • i love this mobile .its my friend..can anyone tell how to take screen shot in this mobile?

  • its easy...connect mob using data cable and choose option pc internet on mobile or mass storage wat ever u need...

  • Brijesh, do you have LG PC Suite, the software that enables you to connect your phone to your PC? If not, you can download it from the internet when you connect your phone to your PC and follow the instructions. When LG PC Suite is installed, go to the 'Tools' menu in the top left hand corner, choose 'Internet Connection Using Your Phone' and follow the instructions. It works for me.

  • do u know friends lg gx500cant play youtube.mp4 files.if u use at a time internet&music player half anhour mobile will so heat.ur contact cant open for urgency;its damly slow.touch screen is not better.its camera is ok at daytime.useless in night.sound quality is ok.its having a double sim and wifi i think u got a better picture about this mobile dont waste ur money

  • both sims work at a same time, or not we have to switch b/w sims???

  • Can any one help me how to connect LG GX500 GPRS to my PC/Laptop.

  • I have had this phone for almost a year now. I NEED a dual sim phone (I'm NEVER going back to carrying 2 phones) so here are experiences on some of the features I most commonly use on this phone Dual Sim (probably why you are looking at this phone now). As 'Prems' said LG did think through the dual sim functionality and includes some neat features like setting the main sim, colour coding contacts and sim. Having said that the contacts and messages can take a while to load and my even freeze. For me it has happened when the phone has just been turned on so once I give it a couple seconds, I've had no problems with it. (relatively) Long battery life. I've gone up to 3 days on a single charge. Then again most of it was the phone on standby. As with all battery based electronics, if you use especially video and music features, it'll run down the battery. Having said that I've left music on all night on several occasions and the next morning the battery was at 1 bar but functioned until the end of the day (once I only used the phone for calls, and didn't make too many calls. In the end you should always check the battery lvl BEFORE leaving home and you should be fine. Wi-Fi capabilities. I use gmail for my email services and I have an app that allows me to access my emails when I'm not in front of a computer. There's also a facebook app but I've never used it, as I DON'T have a facebook account Predicitve text. My first (previous) dual sim phone did NOT have it and it was a major sore point for me. Video support, Music. I play a lot of videos and music on my phone so having that feature is pretty neat. You have to covert the video to .3gp format (I use 'sothink video converter' for my conversions). The screen is small but for portability I really can't complain. I'll stop here for the sake of prolixity. I do have issues with the phone, the biggest being poor visibility in direct sunlight, but I have yet to be perfectly happy with ANY phone I've owned. In the end the phone and all the features I wanted, function properly (98% of the time, and a restart, so far, fixes any of those problems) so until I get another phone, I'm pretty satisifed with this one.

  • I have been using this phone for the last one year. All features good and easy to use. The only problem is very very slow in opening contacts. And sometimes it frozes and takes some time to work. User friendly and LG thought a lot about the applications. But better try same class mobiles before purchasing. thanks

  • This phone sucks, when you access my Gallery, all the pictures shows up irregardless of you put them in separate folders or not, same goes w/ the musics. I put them in separate folders coz wanna organized them, but this phone just show them all up...sucks. You cannot mute when taking photo, there 3 photo sounds to select, but no mute sound!!! It's like telling the world "hey i am taking pictures now". And when taking photos, it need to post a while for you to take another, cannot do it smoothly like Nokia or other. and many others which makes me wanna switch phone right now!

  • you have to change the format of the videos to .3gp

  • This phone is the best choice I could make for a cell phone. It fils all the expectations. I needed a dual sim phone and this phone has much more usefull features. A very long batery life, easy to use features and more. I would reccomend it to everybody.

  • facing problem vth msgs. when i m txtng sum 1 they r recieving blank msgs. evn my ant items shows blank msgs

  • This fone is a mistake, waste of money. The advantages is far less than d disadvantages. Alot of tins u find on nokia fones are nowhere to be found.

  • ood afternoon. I made the big mistake to buy this phone when I thought it was to solve the problem of having to always carry two phones. For in fact and as I have read some reviews on this site hits the behavior of this mobile phone when you query the contacts. For I despair when I do I am sure it is between 15 to 20 seconds waiting for him to open the contacts list. I've tried to upgrade the firmware available, via PC Suite, follow all the steps that are listed but not me so I can do. What has the LG technicians, who do not test the equipment that launches to the market, a company that sells millions of equipment and that makes it in my humble opinion a fraud as a company and that from now on do not advise the nobody to buy this brand equipment. Thank you and within a day when you receive other equipment and put it under the wheel of my car I'll feel a little better.

  • Hi Sali ..I love this mobile so much it's amazing mobile everything almost is working on it..it's camera is so good in daylight put poor at night-slow a little except that it's really best phone ever.. For the video issue first thing is 1-Recorde a video by ur mobile 2-download this video on ur PC then know the video size from it's proprieties ex: 320*240 3-get any video converter program ex:Ultra Video Converter and take the video u want to play and convert it to the same size of ur mobile video u take it before.... my mobile was stolen yesterday n i have best of my memories picture on it I'm crying so much ....

  • this phone rocks! i underestimated it da 1st time i saw it, but now i see its real deal! love everything about it except its camera(not so cool).

  • I'm also using this wonderful phone and its mmmmmmwaaah.There is always something to be done on it,which makes you want to have it in your hand all the time.Even when it lies there,the mere look at it,give you the thought of 'value for your money.But i only wish it had both 2G and 3G network.

  • I agree with u 101%

  • I cannot install this phone in my laptop. I want to be using the LG PC Suits IV.

  • hi people i am using this phone its smart phone and i love it

  • You can find it on the operabrowser tool, scroll down, you'll see settings, there you can switch from wifi to grps. good luck

  • it is superb phone it is god's gift to man awsome

  • this fone is not streaming movies like youtube. Any one tell me plz From where to download software to stream utube movies

  • I suggest not to go for this.. Only Dual Sim with Wifi... No good applications

  • pl.do not buy. hopeless

  • well it has weak software and hardware and not suitable for tough jobs.

  • its easy download the aplications

  • Top mobile on its range price

  • I purchased LG GX500 mobile. Its contact list takes ~23 seconds to show up, before I can make any calls. This happens even with about 500 contacts though it has a phone book capacity of 1000. Overall the phone is very slow, and this is a bottleneck in using the various features in the phone. Four visits to LG Service Centres. No solution yet..! I advise not to buy this phone.

  • Thought it was a nice buy when i got it 3 months back but.... the touchscreen is too slow in responding i.e. bringing out contacts and whats so sad right now is that when you depress a key for "def" for example, 'abc'turns up rather than 'def'.

  • Touch screen is rub...... Do not buy.

  • You cant record fm In this model.

  • Short answer: Don�t buy it! However I am still using it I guess because I am stuck with it! This will not put me off from using or buying other LG's models.

  • yes this can be connected automatic on FX or twitter, go to main menu and look for social networking. you can see FB, myspace and twitter and connect automatically.

  • How to record fm in this mobile. pls guide me by providing steps.

  • anyone know if this phone I can be connected to your facebook or twitter?

  • Its an average phone with high-end looks, so dont expect lot of things from it. Users of Samsung, Nokia and Iphone should expect less. It is resistive touch phone, so touch experience is ok, not very good. Sound quality is very good, both in talking and in music. Camera is also good in daylight. The only best thing its dual-sim finction, with touch phone capacity. It has good looks. It can't store messages in memory card; and has 500 message memory for both sims. Sms thread option is not available, I tried but cant find this option. It is not finger-print magnet. No need to clean frequently. Internet connectivity is good, but pictures downloading is slow, not fast like Samsung.

  • Can anybody guide how it works for browsing when connected via wifi

  • internal memorry is too low net access through this phone in a computer is utter waste

  • you can lock this handset using a code by press on the lock icon in the widget

  • It's 2d now this phone works well. You're cn receive clls from both numbers no switching the phone receives clls . It would be nice to lock the screen with code

  • 1. It has no facility for call recording & F.M. recording. 2. It has no facility for saving a mobile no. while calling. 3. It has a facility for speed dial only for eight nos. where as Lg RD3000 gives 99 nos.

  • i am a user of this phone. it is very difficult to save a no. while calling. and it has only capacity of eight nos. of speed dial where as in lg rd 3000 has hundred nos. capacity.

  • I need to know if this LG GX500 its dual sim working simultaneously, I can receive calls from either the dual dual SIM1 or SIM2 without moving another option

  • Amazing ...

  • Please rate ,(maximum 5 Stars) Samsung Star-II-Duos-C6712 samsung b7722 LG GX500

  • please don't buy this phone, it's no good at all. i've only use for one month and can't cope any longer..

  • Nice Phone but the problem is that the SIM2 slot does not display Network Provider Services.If you swap the sims you will conform that the problem is with the sim2 slot.The sim1 slot is okay. I need a solution for this from LG as quickly as possible as I need Network Provider services from SIM1 and SIM2 for my business.

  • I've only purchased last December 2010 and I already have a lot of problems! - I have to take it to service twice because I cant send messages. And that happened not just twice, I was just able to make it work by restarting several times. - software is slow. Opera is no use I want to sell this phone asap!

  • Horrible Cellphone. Bought just 1~2 months ago and it has too much delay, sometimes the phone freezes and presented a lot of troubles on sending and receiving sms.

  • its very slow when it comes to opening the contacts, apart from that its okay,but if you want more then Samsung b7722 is what u need.

  • I am interested in the fone and wants to buy it. But I am very much confused with all those comments posted herein. Could some one help me out. Thanks.

  • Dual Active both SIM work at the same time even if u have a call on one SIM and u receive another call on the second SIM it will ring as usual

  • i think if it supported 3G it will be fine , but i bought it and i think it has good qualifications like camera,wifi,touch screen,dual sim, and had easy OS but it need touch pen to control well on your using for touch screen

  • dual stand by or dual active ?

  • yes, the dual sim works simultaneously..

  • I am very smart with phones, but this is the most difficult phone I've ever used. GX200 was more user friendly. Still checking it out though.

  • Programs for Your

  • Why its international hand-set does not provide us with availability of reading email of Japanese font? Is it prejudiced ? I don't want to think so.

  • my question is: this phone works on dual sim simultaneously?

  • very nice mobile but it has some bad feature 1- Bad camera resolution and have no zoom by using 3 MP option 2-slitly slow sofweare 3- speed dial spcially for line no one only and can not switht between the two lines 4- have some drops during music playnig

  • This phone sucks big time.. also LG customer support in Nepal. They won't exchange it for Optimus one after adding money.. I'll sell this phone and never buy another LG ...

  • Why is the camera without flash. you cant take a picture in the dark because of that. Why LG.

  • buy samsung b7722 its vere good phone

  • i hav been using this phone for 6 months and i hav a different problem never experienced in any other phones.if any SMS will come when there is no space in my inbox.it ll not stop incoming but there is a frequent coming of same messages with minimum 10 copies.next is, it madly changes the sender and content.example: if priya says 'hai'.it ll display nita says 'hai.it has made lots of misunderstandings n there by serious problems

  • is it possible to lock the messages so that accessing you have to use a pin

  • I just want to know if there is a SMS thread for this phone before I buy it. I want to see previous sms just like in iphone or blackbery.

  • Pre-installed stupid games and other software I cannot use and cannot get rid of. Cannot install Skype. Poor Opera-Mini browser. LG doesn't offer valuable apps? Only cheep rubbish. It was a bad and wrong buy ... I have put it for sale.

  • i have had this phone for over 6 months and never had a problem!! i travel alot country to country! thats why i wanted duel sim.i think its a great phone,just wish it had gps

  • Finally I bought this phone!!! - Its a nice mobile, with cool features, but a little slow in file transfer via bluetooth or USB. - Image editing is feature is good. - I couldn't find the FM recording (as in specifications) and call recording features.

  • i wanted to sale this handset if anyone wanted to purchase call me at 9833162636

  • i encountered the same problem. buy samsung e2652w instead.

  • Yes both the sim can run simultaneously.

  • it's a good phone with me till now .. i bought it about a month ago....but there's a PROBLEM with me...after i made (reset settings) the phone can not receive bluetooth messages ..it can not be shown in other mobiles while searching although the bluetooth is on and set to (visible)...but it can send and find other phones....ANYONE CAN HELP ME???

  • bad phone dont buy once you backup your phonebook u will not be able to access your phonebook again unless u wait for 2-3minutes so, while driving the car press phonebook and wait 2-3 min to access it!!!!!!!!!!!!. the problem continued even after updating the software also not solved>...finally after purchase the phone 3days online to find solution but not solved i returned it to the shop and told him about the problem and fortuntly he accepted to return me my money back....i dont know which phone can be owned with good features and 2sim active standby???????????

  • I want 2 find out if both sims operate simultaneously or is there need to switch any sim to default in order to recieve or make a phone call?

  • This is just a "phone", not a smartphone. If you want all those things you've reported as being "cons", get a BlackBerry, an Android OS phone or even a Symbian. Geesh! Some people just can't see the difference between a feature phone and a smartphone,gosh! I've had this LG for months and can tell you that it does its job properly. Mine never froze, never restarted. The camera is not bad, standby time is awesome for a dual sim (I should know, since it is my 5th dual sim).

  • Dear sir / Madam After reading the features of LG GX500 i would like this dual Sim mobile very much but can any user of this moble told me regarding the performance of this mobile so that i can buy this mobile witout any hesitation.

  • the screen goes off frequently in order to make the battery stays longer

  • I just bought the phone 3 weeks ago. I 'm quite disappointed with this phone. Dual sim is OK, working good but: _phone needs to be re-start at least each 48 hours or it will badly freeze _mail client doesn't support microsoft exchange servers _mail client does not support landscape (in fact landscape in only available for sms/mms) _mail client does not support html messages, (despite LG website tells it does). In fact it reads html message in plain text format, and you can open a menu, choose to open this message in an html viewer, the viewver is launched and you can see it in html. You can't answer in html format. _Phone is terribly slow _touch screen is not so good too _I needed 2 days to make LG PC suite work for synchro In a short way, do not buy this phone.

  • Does anyone know why LG's website doesn't have any menu or anything on its website??? Is it trying to hide something from the consumers... ;)

  • Yes dear, the phone is on dual standby.

  • i got the same problem b4. sell it or return it back then buy samsung e2652w.

  • is this an android??? If nokia has ovi, and most of samsung phones are androids...how about lg???? Specifically this model? Thanks

  • if i open contact, it is getting very slow, how can i make it fast? please advice

  • i bought this mobile 3 days ago and i was happy with it but the problem was that following backup of names on phonebook the mobile became very very slow >>>i dont know why?? how can i update the software online????

  • Sektar, yes you can call from either of the sims without restarting the phone. Go to 'dialing' jot down the number and select either sim1 or sim2 to call that number. You can also change the default sim to use. Go to 'Dual SIM Settings' and pick 'Sim switching' at which point you either pick 'Auto' or 'Manual' switching. Enjoy

  • Guys can someone tell me if calls can be made from either sims whenever i want without having to restart the phone to change "Default Sim" or watevr in this phone...Coz i have one dual sim from samsung which has a default sim changer button at the side which i have to use to switch between sims to call which requires a compelete restart of the phone(which ofcrs is really irritating)...

  • this phone can record the calls ?(call recording) how?

  • no problems with this phone very good deal.. no you dont lose reception snd need restart...

  • how is the menu and phone list menu speed?

  • can anybody tell how to setup the wifi for this pne?

  • Hello!!! Frnds i am using this cell(LG GX500) since 8 months but there is no any complain or any report about this cell.. I think LG GX500 is the best mobile phone for users who use mobile net.......

  • GX500 is a good phone,but i hate it when it relates to sound volume it is low .. and also when record a video it sometimes hangs if u record more than a minute... does any1 have a clue how to make the sound higher ??

  • i bought the phone yesterday and started browsing using wifi unfortunately i cannot revert to user/provider setting the wifi profile seems permanent how can i delete the wifi profile i need TO START BROWSING

  • i've been using the phone for 9 months, no complaints. Its doin what I expect of it.

  • which is better samsung b7722 or lg gx500? price wise lg is cheaper but is it good quality too? i have now samsung d780 and want to upgrade.

  • Let's see... I've got 70 messages saved of 500 allowed on the phone memory. So... I guess we can store 500 messages on our phones. :)

  • I wanted to know how many message in the inbox can GX500 handle??? I have gx200, and it can handle only up to 200 messages.

  • can anyone pls explain how I can speed up this phone when accessing the contacts and where can I download applications such as a virus scanner?

  • I'm really sorry to read about that. My gx500 runs smoothly, the problem you refer never happened on my mobile. The speed didn't change after backing up + restoring my contacts.

  • this phone sucks. once you restore your backup contacts, it will run very very slow in opening contacts which it takes about 5 minutes.

  • Zedge site where you can download everything.good day

  • I bought this piece recently and surely it is much better piece than the similar models available in the market. It is bit slow and you cannot have more themes. But on the whole it is really a good one.

  • I rade the specitfications of this LG GX500 i discover that there was no anti theft tracking device on it while GX200 have it, it would have good if GX500 which is rated higher should have it.

  • Please can someone tell me a site where i can download this phones games and apps.

  • Of course! It's a dual active phone.

  • PLEASE HELP. Does this phone allow you to recieve messages and phone calls from both sim cards all the time? i.e will I be able to see messages as I get them without switching between sims??

  • ys it can i have allready installed dictionary and Bolt brawser and the holly Quraan

  • Hi, I heard GX500 runs on MTK (same platform as Chinese Phones). Is this true? Can someone tell me what chipset it use. i.e. MT6***. Probably you can figure this out when you connect it USB then the device is recognized by this number. Thanks. =)

  • Pls can someone tell me if LG GX500 takes applications like Dictionary and bible.

  • It's a so slowly Mobile

  • Hi Does anyone knows if the keyboard to write is on also available on AZERTY type ? Thsks

  • I think one of the best java phone LG has released so far, decent battery back up as far as touch phone is concerned, good music player, poor earphones, Yes it is slightly slow, but please get it upgraded from LG service station and you can see the upgradation, that too free of cost if you are in warranty period.

  • Nice comparison! You forgot one very important thing: Price: Samsung = 299 EUR LG = 159 EUR

  • Compare LG GX500 And Samsung B7722 1-Samsung Lcd = Bigger 2-LG LCD = Better Quality 3-LG Battery = Better 4-Samsung Camera = Better in Night(Flash) 5-LG Camera = Better in Day(Better Lens) 6-LG Speed = Slow 7-Samsung Java Installation = only on Phone Memory 8-Samsung Widget = Better (Can Download New One) 9-Lg Have Task Manager 10-Samsung Data Memory (SMS & Contacs) = Better

  • Can any one please tell me the music play back time of LG gx 500 in flight mode? i shall rmain obliged. e-mail address [email protected] Thanks. Suneil.

  • Hi, Which would be the best PC sync Utility for GX500? I want to backup my messages and other files. For SE K810, I used My PhoneExplorer. Anything similar for LG? Thanks in advance, Shreenidhi

  • Of course it can! It is not only dual standby, but also dual active it means that if you're talking on one SIM and someone calls you on the other, you can answer the 2nd call and the person doesn't hear a "phone offline sound"). I'm quite happy with this GX500. Of course, it isn't a smartphone, so you can't expect multitasking or anything like it, but it does what I need on a secondary phone - calls, sms and mms and a decent battery. I use it as a free time phone, my main one is the HTC Legend (Android 2.2) and of course it is kinda stupid to compare these two mobiles. If I didn't need internet access everywhere, fast and reliable mail, .doc and excel editor and at least a 5MP camera for work, I would use this LG GX500 all the time.

  • 1)nds free set should be atleast somemore lengthy with made from some hard material otherwise just if i use littlebit ruff there is a chances of breakage 2)there is no facility to change stations of FM Radio only to receive a call. 3)There is no option to feed channel names as in micromax Q3,otherwise its very difficult to identify a channel just by freequency no.s 4)Screen Should be wider in lengthwise and widthwise so that it will be easy to browsing Internet.Also by that it is very happy to the user to use a set. 5)Sound loudness and vibrations should be more, if we are in rush bus,inside the machineshop where so many sounded machinesare runing at a time, suppose if we wear a formals otherthan jeans,then definitely it is very difficlt to get know msgs or calls whatevr it may be. 6)u r not provide a atleast ordinary pouch with the set,eventhough v r investing such huge amount, it may be fullmonth salary, then how can i say our set is safe.Again we have to waste somemore days simply for searching suitable pouch for the set. 7)These are all the -ve things regarding the set,otherthan that the set is really very good and also attactive by outlook,its very oficial look colour and all using of grey and black is really decent colour, after taking a picture by camera its looks like a dull, i mean brightness will not appear . 8)is there any navigation options?i vl tel u some more after usage of some more days. 9)Mahesh N, my Mail ID is, [email protected] and mobile no is 9535417936.Please rply for these things so that it is verymych helpful to us in future . also we can go for LG products further . Thank you very much. Mahesh N 9535417936 Bangalore

  • This fone is a complete waste of money and i would advice anyone and everyone who is thinking about getting it to think thrice before wasting your money on something that barely should cost 1/2 as much as it does.! The build quality is good, otherwise the touch response sucks and the user interface is sluggish and slow. The wifi hardly ever works and even if you set the proxy server and everything yourself it still doesnt work. Calls are not recieved half of the times and the msgs you send dont even get sent most of the times. I cant wait till next year to get rid of this phone!

  • Well I have had my GX500 for a good few months now and I am actually liking it more and more each day. I had an issue with the responsiveness and I did post about it before but I realized that my memory card needs to be faster (pictures stored on my memory card were used as wallpaper and contact images). I am using a class 2 and I believe a class four or six would be more appropriate. Anyway man this phone is hott!! I have an ipod touch as well and so I didn't really use the wifi much but unfortunately my ipod died last week :-( I then played around with the phone and set up my three different email account (GMail, Yahoo, and Hotmail). The web browsing and social networking (Facebook e.t.c.) is really good. Let's not forget the ain reason we buy this phone as well : the Dual Sim feature works like a Charm.

Hope this help's my friends to avoid wasting their money.

  • .. was able to sent a text message via PC SuiteIV. still unable to send any message thru the phone. I'm able to receive text message and voice calls are working fine. need software update? hmmm....

  • Hi everyone, I have been using the phone for 2 months now, so far so good except some glitches that i've encountered. Have anyone experienced having difficulty sending text messages? I have the buttons does not respond. It would say that its saving the message under Draft but nothing is saved. Still the same even after you pull the batteries out. I've experienced it twice, so far no patterns i could see. As of this writing, i'm unable to send a text message for 2hrs now. :(

  • i have ks 660 it does not support video ringtones does gx 500 support this feature as it says it has photocall and can i have separate video ringtones for sepate callers

  • hai guys ! can anyone let me know about camera clarity of this mobile is it good ? does movie or songs videos are clear as samsung b5722 and advantage of wifi.

  • All is ok. But Contacts Only 1000. This is not fair. Why LG and Samsung and sony given more than 2000 phonebook memory or unlimited phonebook. like a nokia? This time many people today having more than Thousand contacts. LG, Sony and SAmsung manufacturing future rich handsets. Their have a 130, 250, internal handset memory. But only 1000 phone book. Please prestigeios Brands Chiefs, I request you please attention you large phonebook memory in multimedia, 3g and above Rs.4000 value handsets. Please you looking Nokia.

  • can assigned tone with sms is it possible like smasung

  • Can not send txt. Initialising for a very long time then goes off.

  • Had this phone for a month or so now, no problems at all! To answer a few questions, it's like having 2 separate phones, you can assign different ring tones and colours for each sim, and both work at the same time, when you get a call or message, it's clear by the colour which sim is being used. To choose which sim to use when calling, simply choose sim 1 or 2. For people having problems with the touch screen, re-calibrate in 'phone settings' then 'touch settings'. When I bought the phone, the store did this for me, they took their time and used a pencil not just fingers. Lastly, I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I can see, you can't use Skype on this phone. If anyone knows different please let me know.

  • hi i bought it f0r 9600/- everything is fine but cam clarity is not gud

  • can u describe the problem u are facing with the phone

  • Will the dual SIM function work in the US? I've tried a couple of dual SIM phones from Samsung but only one SIM worked.

  • its a very good phone

  • great phone good battery backup

  • Hi Naveen, where are you located?

  • Hi Friends, Please let me know if someone is interested in LG GX500. I have a brand new piece which is 10 days old. I am not getting used to the touch screen and hence I want to sell this. I generally find the mobile to be very good, especially battery and camera. You can call me at 98402 30072 Naveen 98402 30072

  • M planning to bye this mobile could any user tell me the video resolution of this mobile!!!!

  • Do lg gx500 play youtube videos when using wifi at sm malls

  • you cant compare the two phones since the one you're talking is not a dual sim.

  • but is samsung MONTE a dual sim mobile like this?

  • I found Samsung Monte(s5620) which is better than this one. S5620 is inexpensive and have better specs . In India it costs around 10K which is really not worth it and trend has been changed...now resistive is transformed into capacitive...use capacitive touch,you will never buy resistive touch. No 3G ...just dual sim feature is attractive , nothing new in it.

  • Hi people im writing from Portugal.. regarding this phone i have to tell u that it is just awsome! I've been looking for a cople of months for a dual sim phone that had the best features/price. It has everything we need nowadays, good quality sound/voice, spectacular lasting battery, wi-fi (not 3G tough), easy writing sms (querty mode also), average camera, etc.. And it has something else great, unlike samsung duals, u don´t have to press the side button when going to make a call or send sms to switch the network..(u have to allways pay attention not calling the wrong network). With LG u dont have this "problem" it is predefined wich contact is in wich sim card and u just call or send sms, like it was one sim card only. pretty cool! It costed me 180EUR. Hope i've helped..cheers! Reply2010-08-29 20:27 3pPMU Anonymous ReportBought it 6 days back. Was looking for a dual sim, when saw this in touch screen, decided to fall for it. Given the features (i liked the camera, wifi, touch) it was very good deal. Got for 9500 in Kolkata, India. Working pretty well, typing would take some time to get used to though. Call features and simultaneous use of two SIM cards are really top notch. Biggest thing, it allows to hold call on one sim and attend to the other. No standby business here. Even GPRS/EDGE can be configured according to your sim card. If you are looking for a dual sim phone with touch screen, look no further. Must buy recommendation.

  • to lg people, your gx500 phone is great but then some of us have problems with the nonalignment of the touchscreen. it's so irritating. how do you fix this problem. those who are thinking to buy, don't buy the phone yet.

  • quad-band??

  • ow to configure microoft exchange server mails in LG GX500 waiting for replies all thansks in advance

  • Reply to Yours and my own question: It can record calls, but it is not user friendly. During call, You have to go to menu, then to voice recorder and turn it on. It works, but it requires few redundant clicks.

  • As someone asked before: is there call recording function?

  • What is special in this Phone

  • have not use my radio. and yet it's a repetition of the same problem.

  • This is a classic Phone.... All the features are very nice. Sound, Camera, Functions, every thing is havoc... What are you waiting for? Go and get LG GX500 now. Price is Rs:9200/- In this price it is a very good phone....

  • I believe it's in the compatibility of your radio and phone. Try to ask for LG's customer service to address all your concerns. ^_^

  • Just bought dis phone some few days back.Wantd to kno if there is an auto-security lock on the phone dat allows you to enter an unlock code before d phone can be accessed again like dat of an Iphone.

  • yes, the none alignment of the touch screen.

  • Hello Dear Friends. Can any body tell me about user interface while Touch Screen. Is there is problem with touch screen. Please let me know.

  • The phone is classy. I felt that it is a bit slow though. The camera is average and it really could have used a flash but you know how it goes. For the money you get a quality phone with good features. I tried two chinese dual sim phones so far and they bothe lasted about six to eight months. They had cool features on paper but something went wrong with the quality and eded up beingpperweight: or portable TV's :-). I'm hoping for quality with the LG GX500. Time will teall.

  • Got one a few weeks ago, really nice features and easy to use, just not very happy with the bluetooth connectivity. My car has a bt radio and whenever the gx500 connects, it makes constant resets/reboots and eventually blocks and I need to remove the battery. This is the 3rd gx500 and they all do the same. Problem, either bt from the gx500 or the car radio which works fine with my Nokia. Anyone have problems with the bt?

  • Quality / Price / Style = Exceed Expectation. ^_^

  • Plz, could any one tell me the price of LG GX500 in china

  • Hi guys, Can you please let me know about how good LG GX 500. I came across this model but dont seem to find it anywhere in Chennai. Please also let me know the cost of this phone and how good is the battery life

  • Yes i am facing the same problem.The middle portion of the screen does not work, having a touch based phone it is a real big problem because i cannot type messages and cannot do many things without the center of the screen not responding to my touch. Really a hopeless phone.

  • I bought the phone on the 26/08 and about after an hour or two I started facing problems with the touchscreen, it didn't give me proper feedback so I went back to the dealer I bought it from looking at the problem he replaced the handset and after an hour the same problem persists even on the replaced one...My verdict is not to buy this phone, if it starts showing problems after an hour who knows whats next...Waste of money...

  • This is relly good dual sim phone and looking so cute. good batrry backup, 2 sim any time on wating fecility

  • LG is always a loser in the GSM market , they always the last to bring the technology, they even fail in alot of aspets specially the software, and you if want to sell you second hand LG , you loose over 80% of its value. its just a waste of money. my advice buy a real mobile (samsung, sony ericson , Nokia , HTC)

  • Check the massage center no...

  • missing 3G.............

  • i am very happy to buy this phone

  • after purchasing LG GX500 it is a very exellent phone as it covers all the requirment like the best features of this phone is its Dual Sim Capability,Camera Clarity, expendible memeory n its look is amazing , so i feel so lucky to be a user/ owner of LG GX 500

  • I have seen many reviews and videos too. It s really quite good responsive. LG KS660 was the previous dual sim model and they have tried to overcome the problems in it in GX500. I prefer GX500 itself rather than corby b5722, as corby b5722 is having connectivity problem with many applications like gmail, google maps, facebook. Best of all LG GX500 has qwerty keyboard when tilted horizontally. Most LG mobiles lack in talktime than mentioned in the specifications. GX500 talktime is around 6hrs, atleast we may get 4.5hrs. Its more than enough.

  • threaded sms is like u r chating with some1..

  • Hi miguel can you help. Trying to find out if this handset has contact details that allows me to customise the sms tone to individual contacts. Any idea ? cheers s

  • it is medium speed......compare to corby touch sensitivity is less.

  • Can anyone tell me what is threaded view SMS?

  • The phone is not slow at all, and is quite responsive. The only flaw i have found until now are small SW bugs, like changing shortcut position on screen. Cheers, Miguel

  • Hi, please let me know the correct answer. is this speed or slow?

  • hi- this is verry good phone.and beter then this range other model.

  • hi..... it is not good phone.procesing is so slow and bad. this phone is so slow work.

  • hi can anyone tell me if I can assign specific message tones to individual contacts rather than just change the message tone completely

  • built-in camera no good. not auto focus as what have mentioned in this page. SE cybershot camera phones are still the best for me now. i wish SE will release a dual sim better camera phone.

  • I'm really looking forward to owning this phone..Imean the samsung b7722..best features ever

  • If this phone come with OS based, it would be great!

  • Check this out Samsung 3G dual sim b7722

  • LG need experiences to create dual SIM, great design..

  • I like that too...

  • LG is really in need of executives with some imaginative powers- who can design and plan better phones-instead of just playing catch up with Samsung. LG needs a Dual SIM with 3.2 Capacitative screen-Wi-fi, 3G -big batt and 2.1 Adroid-this would catch imagination of it,s customers and establish LG,s capabilities-just now it is a me too company.

  • Hi Mr.Anonymous, I want to buy one mobile with following spec. plz give your best comments 1.Dual Sim 2.Good cam (more than 3MP) 3.Talk time (more than 6Hrs.) 4.OS based 5.3G

  • Guys, whats the security like on this phone ? Can it do the following ?? (1) password protect files ? (2) password protect the sim switching mechanism to prevent access to 2nd sim if required.(varous people use my phone) (3) assign specific ringtones to individual contacts (4) assign specific "message tones" to indinidual contacts. Any help would be appreciated thanks

  • When you say there's a threaded messaging view, where can you access it? I've gone through every setting and folder and I just can't find it. Neither does it mention it in the manual.

  • may i know the OS for this mobile.

  • i think cell4u has it.. the website is www.cells4u.com

  • Guys, Can I install skype on this phone? The specifications say nothing about OS?

  • All functions of my new LG GX500 seem to work except for sending text messages. Somehow, I can't send SMS, only receive them. Any help please? Thanks

  • Of course both active, just choose from which one you want to call. One is always default.

  • it is not necessary to switch sims .., when your call comes at sim no 1 it is not necessary to switch the sim when the call comes

  • you will have to switch.

  • both active at the same time.

  • can we use dual sim cards at a same time active ??????????? or need to switch ????????????

  • satyajit ReportIs it real Dual Stanby phone? If you are busy on one SIM another SIM can Receive calls? like lg (ks660) It's really dual standby, I've got one last week, and still using it satisfactorily.

  • I like it, the first dual sim that actually looks good.

  • Without flash? Why LG?

  • phone@rena says talktime and standby time of the phone is 6hrs and 400hrs respectively...preety impressive for a dual-sim handset...

  • what OS is it? it would be great if this phone come with window mobile operation or other OS...

  • pros :- (1) good battery back up- 1500mah (2) wifi (3) sim1 and sim2 quad band cons:- (1) resistive touch sreen instead of capacitive (2) no led flash to camera (3) no 3g

  • Almost perfect-only if LG would have given it 3G and a capacitative screen!

  • Is it real Dual Stanby phone? If you are busy on one SIM another SIM can Receive calls? like lg (ks660)

  • The battery spec looks impressive. I just hope that the form factor is compatible with my LG Arena. So I can get one to replace the Arena's battery. Keeping fingers crossed.

  • Just wondering why people posting opinions here are more of complaints. Its seems most of them want a cellphone with everything. They cannot be satisfied of what one phone has for its specifications. Maybe tomorrow someone will post here looking for a cellhone with fax, oven, refrigerator, etc. You can't use all of the functions of a cellphone, except for texting, calling and the multimedia functions. Wake up people...go to dreamland to find the cellphone for you.

  • Is it real Dual Stanby phone? If you are busy on one SIM another SIM can Receive calls? Somebody Clarify

  • The phone looks good to me and the battery life is impressive. When is it getting to Nigeria and what is the likely price range? can anybody help with this quetion.

  • LG usually stands for innovative devices, and eventhough they use existing specs, I believe this will sell to the masses. Many people don't know about the Dual-SIM function on other brands...

  • wow... dual sim and long battery... its very slim...I hope get one.

  • It's expected to lauch with 1,500mAh in a rumor.

  • they should learn from Eten / Acer DX900. it suffered from poor sales...

  • they should learn from Eten / Acer DX900. it suffered from poor sales...

  • Sorry, but you are not right my friend. This excuse is not valid anymore. Almost all phones nowdays are low-end and mid-range phones. You can hardly find a "proper" high-end phone and you would have to wait for ever if you were waiting for one. Shame on LG and Samsung indeed. I expected this to be a much better year since the operating systems are already in use and it is the time to release real high-end phones instead of entry level phones, but that's not what is happening. I am waiting for Samsung Beam with 8 MP, android, AMOLED and all and I hope I won't be disappointed. Otherwise I will have to wait more, probably forever....

  • not only that but no US 3g and second sim only triband? what the heck?

  • first one, wahehehe, good phone, i hope it has a long battery life because its a dual sim, hope this gets out in the market.

  • Not everyone needs total awaysome phones. This is mid phone for mid ppl...

  • Looks like its in the LG Viewty(the old one) generation.

  • Shame on you LG&Samsung. Chinese are already doing better than you. Philips'5 MP double sim phone comin to the market soon. You announce proudly 3.15 MP.

  • second,first is ks660
