  • I've use this phone in 2 years now. No problem with it, just one thing, that the battery is crap. And have been like � year and I can't find a new one...

  • i ve seen a lot of people talking abt the battery. My battery of this phone is good and lasts for 2 days(only attending calls)and evenif i use it for songs then also for atleast 1 day minimum. one fact for the battery is that charge ur fone when it's totally used coz every battery has some limited charging's. or the life of the battery will decrease. So never leave ur fone charging for the whole day.

  • the phone is awsome i like it it sertanly the best phone i ever had it is bad that id does't hav irda but bluetooth is wery fast i like it wery much the worst thing is that the battery is not powerful enoth for this kind of mobiles but i like it

  • SO GOOD amazing

  • the battery is so so bad i charge it all night, take it off the charger and after a 5 minute phone call the pattery is completely flat. i can write about 4 text massages from when there is full battery life, to when it goes flat. and i've only had the phone about 6 months. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. oh and i'm locked into a contract, i still have over a year. with a phone i can't use.

  • Not a bad phone. Is reliable, but baterry is bad but hey. Mp3 is good, and pretty simple generally which will make things lots easier.

  • this phone is useless, the battery died and i'm locked into a plan with it. poor poor form.

  • THIS PHONE HAS THE MOST AWFUL BATTERY LIFE EVER!Mine has been in for repair once and now 3 customer services are "looking to send" a new battery. I love the contract and 3G capabilities, but please dont get this phone, I can see me being stuck with this for the next twelve months carrying a charger with me everywhere I go.

  • a phone with 'planned obsolensence'. within 10 days of the end of the warranty the battery now takes overnight to change and discharges within a 10 minute call OR 3 single screen sms. in a phrase DONT DO IT!!!!!

  • excellent phone.mp3 sound quality is amazin.never thought an lg phone cud bee soo good..gifted 1 too my girl.n she still,loves it cause it reminds her baout me...n specially a coool phone for women...

  • Great phone, good features, but i found the internet capabilities a bit limited, that is until i installed 'OPERA'. Now the phone has virtually limitless internet capabilities! Battery life is a bit disappointing. Camera and video are both good enough, and music quality is very good. shame about the colour!

  • We had 2 LG U300 phones through a contract with 3 and while I was happy with the functionality of the phone, calls kept dropping out so I had the phones replaced.

  • Great Phone!! got this phone on a contract.. and its awesome.. can watch TV on it as well.. Also the camera is 180 degress rotating so thats awesome.. Im a farmer and this phone has lived upto my expectations.. Solid design and being a flip-phone the keys inside are protected.. LG all da way.. cheers

  • this is the best phone in the world as it cost around 150 pounds in the high street....works best with network 3 on it...and will be best if taken from altius agents...dont forget to take the insurance from fonesure since it is quite an expensive handset....enjoy ....

  • i think the phone is great but the battery life sucks and for some reason my micro sd card is not working and if i plug it into the adaptor it doesnt pick up on my comp?

  • Its an awsome set i ever seen in an absulutly free deal.Really its cool.Really catachy for students and retired persons.

  • hey its me again just last week my parents bought me the nokia 6288 on a plan so i will not be using this phone anymore this phone served me for 4 months and i must say it certainly obeyed and fulfilled its masters duties. i will surely miss this phone but now it is my dads so i can still have a good look at it for a long time.thats all from me folks

  • Is there a way to keep the mp3 plays in the background. When I try to do so it stops

  • i have this phone and i think it is really great but i am thinking to get the 6280 from nokia what do think? should i change my phone or not? please reply

  • A friend gave me this phone, and I've had it for nearly a year. I think it's great. I really only need my phone to make and receive calls and sometimes text, so it works great, is lightweight and durable. I also love that it's a flip-phone and I don't have to yell into it to be heard. I recommend this one, for sure. 9 out of ten stars.

  • i have had this fone 4 2 weeks it is the best fone i have ever had people are sayin bad stuff about the buttons i reckon they rule. i like it being with three because they have a good service area. out of 10 i would give this fone a 9.5 it just needs a bit better speakers

  • good small lightweight flip phone..keys take time to get used to..battery poor during usage...otherwise ok try one (",)

  • hi,as far as the phone is concerned its a good one ,,yeah it does'nt have radio but its ok.The best thing is that it is light weighted and comes in good colors overall the fone is good

  • Another point to add to my comments below. Three have just upped the price of this phone from �89 with �30 free credit to �170 with �10 free credit!!!!!! Thats not cheap, you can buy a S/E K800I cheaper than that, a much better phone. That new price tag is a ridiculous amount of money for this phone, it was worth every penny of �89 but no more, so really the Vodafone 710 now is obviously a much better buy, and im also finding the battery life to last double the amount of time my LG U300 used to achieve (710 lasting 5 days!)

  • This phone is a good phone. I used to have it and i found the features on it are excellent considering the price, one thing is that the keys are quite odd i feel but they do the job. However, if you want a cheap flip 3g phone which is fully loaded and you dont mind what network you are on, then i feel the phone i have now, the Vodafone 710 is better. Pretty much exactly the same specs, but it looks nicer, feels and looks a bit like the moto pebl, the camera, although has exactly the same pixel size (1.3), takes much clearer pictures, there are 2 cameras aswell (one inside for video calling, but you can take a self portrait with it aswell. Also feels more quality and battery is better. Memory cards are cheaper because the 710 takes mini sd not micro sd. However, the lg is better value as you get a 128mb memory card, cdrom and data cable aswell, all 3 things that were missing from the 710. Therefore, if you hate the three network, go for the vodafone 710, if you dont mind what network your on, then decide for yourself wether you want a phone that looks better or is better value for money.

  • Really great fone, fits nicely in hand and has perfect features for a low price, great early fone!!

  • well....i dont have this phone ...yet...lolbut its cool lookin and from what the other comment things say it seems like a phone that i would like!!!!!.....lol...so ill c if i get it...and does the camera have zoom?????

  • love this phone.....it has evereything you need and it actually looks quite nice. lot smaller than it seems in the pics as well. i was bit skeptical about the orange colour but it looks great.....definitely go for it!!

  • An all round good phone its very easy to use and has the the latest features. like the more expensive ranges. i would highly recommend this to anyone. i have sold s*^t loads. 3g seller

  • i think that this phone is really good but if they had better colours for it who wants a orange and green phone but it is a really good phone just needs better colours but it is a wicked phone

  • how do u import images and/or videos from teh phone onto a pc???? is this possible- nay suggestions would be greatly appriciated thx

  • i hate this phone it all crap it sucks.....bigtime i dont ever want to see tis phone in my life ever again if anyone has it please break it now coz it will only make you mad and you will only want to kill your self....

  • this is a good looking mobil. with all the latest features.thats y i feels lovely.

  • i have had the phone for about 6 weeks and i had a nokia be4 ill have a lg anyday..

  • I`m using this phone about half year and I`ve never have problems.His camera is good videos also, good sound from mp3 player...

  • i bought this phone 2day its a good phone but my camra is not grate i am planing on smashing it to bits later on 2 night

  • If you take the battery off, the memory card goes in a slot in the top left of the battery area.

  • i am using this handset since long time and i am quite happy with it.This is handset is dashing and very lightweighted.

  • my friends have really good expensive phones but the disighne isnt as good im getting min for christmas cant wait apparently its light and allright features its my first phone so its alright for my first phone

  • Can someone please tell me where the memory card goes? I bought this phone a few days ago, its great but this is my first phone and my family doesn't noe where the memory card goes, oh also my video's only go for 16 seconds, is that normal or what? Don't i have enough memory...Please help me xoxo thanks.

  • No radio on the phone but it has an mp3 player and comes with a 128mb memory card and headphones. One issue i have with the phone is that the battery. Not really the battery life, but the battery indicator. It constantly changes up and down up and down confusing you as to how much battery life there is exactly. I tend to charge it as soon as the battery indicator goes onto 1 bar then i will know for sure that the phone wont just cut out on you. Other than this, a brilliant handset!

  • Hey is there a radio in it? Thanks

  • I forgot to add that this handset is incredibally light, especially as it is a 3g handset. It really took me by surprise. Being my first 3g handset, i was expecting a big heffalump but it isnt at all!!!!

  • i bought this phone today, and yes it comes with the ear phones, it comes with everything u cud possibly need.

  • I purchased this handset yesterday and i must say that it is a very good one for the price (�89-with �30 credit!). The camera is excellent, mp3 sound quality is good, it even has a flash which while i was searching for the specs of this phone, no site mentioned that it had a flash. Mind you, it doesnt have a colour external screen, not that it really matters. I have had a slight issue with the battery, although that appears to be sorted now, and another issue although it appears to be down to the network and not the handset. Overall, a very good phone at a very cheap price-highly recommended!

  • hey, i bought this phone today for $129, but I'm not allowed to open it until my birthday in 2 weeks time. I was also wondering if it has head phones, but awell it comes with a memory card of 128MB so yeah, i thinks its pretty cool and i bought the chameleon colour, coz the black sparkly one leaves finger prints everywhere lol. I WANT THE ORANGE ONE lol its got like everything so i suggedt, you get it!

  • does anyone know if this phone includes a set of headphones?

  • i think this phone is the best but i think theres going to be better. i love every thing on there. the only thing i dont like is the orange colour.

  • I have purchased this phone 5 days ago. I LOVE this phone. It's the best phone on the market!!!

  • it has good features!!! but the style sucks man!!!!!1

  • okay people i think we all are missing the point here ,what is the most important aspect of a mobile well, i pesonally think it should be able to make calls and send text mssges more than that is just a bonus i mean wats the point of braggin aboun the higher end fones wen they are so EXPENSIVE that after you buy one you really dont have enough money to but top ups and make calls which basiccaly then would mean defeating the purpose of having a mobile in the 1st place jmo

  • I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion but personally I think sometimes from a design perspective you can come to the conclusion that something is so ugly that it's not open for arguement. I think this phone is the definition of ugly and lazy design.

  • i like the phone great memory, features etc... worth buying.

  • i love the colours really good phone 1 of the best lgs had big improvement from older lgs

  • its hossim....................but too heavy

  • what pathetic colours man!!!! cheeeeeeee.......

  • Fantastic fone from LG.A definite buy ....

  • Now that's very pretty celly... I like it, it has every thing...except infrared... It looks so HOT... EXTRA JE . . .

  • i've had the phone for a week now .. has very good features and lightweight. Expandable memory is always attractive and the camera is pretty decent. The battery life isn't the geatest but then again its really not that bad..there is also a black colour which is what i've got and it looks pretty nice. i give it a 7/10

  • I have just purchased one of these in UAstralia. Unless I just have one from a bad batch, the battery life is crap. Standby is lucky to be 48hrs... even worse is that battery indicator says it has 3/4 charge, I turn it off overnight and next morning it has no charge??? I am definately returning it for replacemnet phone or battery!

  • does this have the functionality that enables the memory card to be accessed as a usb drive when connected to a pc?

  • this phone is better looking in the flesh and the colours are not that bad,feature wise it has a lot going for it at a reasonable price.

  • u cant be serious, rihgt:)

  • So fresh colour and shape. looks cool. LG shows various colour and design. I wanna know how much is this phone. I will get this orange.

  • True..I cant take a second look either. After Chocolate LG should NOT come up with something like this.

  • I can't bear to take a second look. It's stupendously ugly. My eyes!!!

  • very good fone,,i like there typo clamshells,,not very heavy n having gr8 featurez..i ll get mine soon..
