  • This phone is really nice. Ilove it. I just sold it, but i had one for ayear and it never had a problem. and it lookd just like first time :D I just love it!

  • Loved the phone but for the fact it never holds a charge longer than a day even in standby. Have tried new battery but no better. I am about to upgrade to something else, can't wait.

  • The sound on my phone decreases really badly when it's flipped. It's a shame they built the sound inside the phone and not on the side. I have trouble hearing it sometimes.

  • 2 gb card works fine with mine

  • The model was just fine, the physical appearance, audio, picture and video quality were OK almost everything was fine except to the fact that the battery really sucks my unit only lasted for 12hrs on a standby mode. Another problem was it's locked on three mobile network I could'nt use the GPRS or 3G internet browsing here in the Philippines. Is there anyone who can help me configure it out?

  • About the "USIM Locked" subject. The only thing U have to do is access the sim from the phonebook... =D This phone in general sucks. The one I had worked for 2 months and then the display part practicualy just fell of... =S The fun part of this was that the display in general worked and was connected with only 2 cables to the phone part... hahaha. Left it for repairs and got it back 1 month later it was the same story all over again... It's a laugh stock... hahahah =P

  • how do you setup WAP 2.0 to get m3 up and running

  • My own is a fairly-used one from where I don't know.Whenever I switch it on it displays "USIM Locked" and no option to insert numbers for unlocking.Did anybody Know What I can DO?

  • LG mobiles don't accept cards bigger than 1GB.

  • hi, anybody know what is the limit for the SD card of this phone? Is it possible to insert a 2GB card in it?

  • Cool phone

  • I did buy mine in october 2006, but it was as if I had given in my own specififcations that you religiouly met. It is my perfect choice ever. I can't hide my affection for the set save for the missing radio and 3G network which We are yet to get in Uganda.

  • Thank you for the great style and features in this phone... but you can not play music and do other things at the same time.also it was built with a UK network "three.co.uk" so in NIGERIA we can not use the GPRS with our network, can you help us out. Thanks

  • this phone is the best EVER!!! i love it! it is easy to use, has all the functions needed, and is very useful. I was in a strop and broke mine, which was the biggedt mistake i have ever made!!! it is the best phone ever!

  • i dont like this phone coz of its bad camers & week flip top

  • not a fabolous one

  • hi guys i just have this phone so plz tell me about its good things

  • this is the best mobile........... everyone should go for that....... and network is is also fantastic....

  • Yep that's right..... i like its video calling facility. n its sounds..

  • i m using this mobile phone since 3 yrs and i m qiute sattisfied wid this mobile phone it has all features which i want in a mobile phone the best feature i love about this is video callin facality by which u can see other person live while talkin on ur mobile screen.............

  • its great to have this one. I M enjoyin itz facilities from last 2 years. the screen is really really beautiful. i m agree with the person above.

  • I m a user of LG-U880. and as far as I m concerned Its the best I have ever used. reliable Battery backup, n coool looking body structure makes it next to perfect. I m in LOVE with LG U-880. THANK YOU.

  • seemed a decent phone for the first 6 mths. The Battery life is notoriously bad and the flip top breaks too easily. this is the 4th Dud I've owned from LG.

  • hi this is the worst flip phone ever the hinge is loose and is hard to keep flipped up it always closes taking a picture etc. does anyone else have this problem???

  • this phone is all face, no function, thats as far as i am concerned. i can't even browse n it, nyways, i can receive calls!

  • this is the worst phone i have ever had its camera and video are rubbish and mine snapped in two

  • dis phone was ayt wen i 1st gt it for myself n my lil sister, it had everythind i expected except dat d camera quality is very crap n the flip hinges are weak i mean my sister broke hers n i blamed her for it . i leter realised that my friend;s hinge also broke in d exact place as my sister's. now guess what mine is cracking too at the exact place n i'm so scare to open d flip. it sucks dnt buy it

  • If a phone like this is unlocked can you put a prepaid telstra or optus sim in it?

  • Does this phone support 2 Giga external microsd/transflash card?

  • this phone is good for about 6 months but after that it is really useless. i only had mine for less then 1 year and then the carma stop working and then it turned off and never turned back on so i must say DO NOT buy it it is a waste of money. ps it snaps in half aswell...

  • hey umm any one who has spare usb cords can u giv em to me plz oh yeah is did phone relly that bad god!!! i got mine but i hve to get a 3 sim card tell me is tha phone relally dat bad LOL

  • i want to know what kind of adaptor should i use

  • this is a good one i like it verry much, i have it for 1 year now, and it works the same as new, so i recomand it

  • I got this phone yesterday and the first thing i noticed was it was chunkier than i expected. Also, you cannot put a personalised tone for messages, which sucks. The memory is pretty good and i haven't even put in a memory card yet. I cannot change the layout of the main pages (ie the menu, the standby screen and the closed screen.) so i have a great picture in my slcosed screen, with big chunky black writing of the date and stuff on it, which sucks. What is the point? I cannot find much software for it online, i had a Sony Ericsson K610i and it did everything you wanted. YOu could personalise everything, whereas with this phone you cannot! Functionality is pretty good, however its odd how when u bluetooth it goes toa special 'bluetooth folder'. Why don't the pics just go to pics and videos to videos and so on. Hopefully, LG will do better next time...

  • hey i got a 512mb memory card and i was wondering if you could bluetooth songs onto the external memory?? coz all the bluetooth files go straight to the handset memory so i would like to know if you could change that. it would be much appreciated thank u!

  • give it 12 months and it will be useless my sisters snapped right in half and mine became loose and one side snapped about a month after. just be really careful with the hinges. this phone is definitely not indestructable

  • If you want to listen to music in the background while you text or do other things when it is playing click "options" than "background play". :)

  • Is there any way you can have a different message tone than the ones already on there?

  • this fones great....with all the mobile tv features and all.ive dropped it so many times....on concrete....timber...u name it but it still works perfect...there isnt any changes to its display or sound quality..only problem is that my cd rom isnt workin so i cant use the usb drive cd that came with the fone to be able get all the stuff fm the net to the fone...evrytime i plug the cable to my pc...it sez theres a technical problem with my fone.i just need to know if i can manually install the usb hardware fm the net...and where from..

  • Lg u880 is a very good phone but the bad thing is that you cannot use a different sim card except for 3.

  • hey everyone who cant do stuff on this phone look up the lgu8360 on here and that answers most questions so heres a few to help you if u cant be bothered looking it up on here a maximum memory card is 1gb on this phone, pc connectivity is simple but hard to understand. GOOD Luck now look uo the lgu8360 and go take a look at questions and answers.

  • i need games and programs you kan halp me ?

  • Features are great but I am on my third battery. Even in standby, something seems to drain all power in less than 36 hours. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • as anybody know what is maximum capacity of micro SD memory card ?

  • this is an awsum fone but how do ya connect the usb nd tht so it works on the comp... plz help!

  • this phone is extrordinary...i have it for the last few days and so far i had absolutely NO problems with it.. the camera is incredible , the loudspeaker is very clear and loud enough what can i say.. i love it. The only thing i dont like it is that i can't let the mp3 player play in background.. to do something else while listening music..:(

  • Q: mp3 for alarm, yes or no?

  • Its cool,my phone work perfect ...i love it!!

  • can nebody tell me bout its memory expansion????????

  • I would really advise anyone who wants this phone not to take it into bathrooms or any moist places because i had one and i had it in the bathroom when i was havinga shower and the moisture in the air got in to the slot where you plug your charger in and it wrecked it and they will not refund you or give any money back if this happinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Alot of people I see have posted about the phone not having features this page says it does. That is probably because you have an older model of this kind and this site has the current model.

  • I have this mobile. My usb is perfect ! and drivers !

  • I have this phone with a cingular service and I can't get the parameters so that the multimedia or MMS (internet) will work from cingular or anybody else. It does not carry 850MHZ and that is the frequency most cingular phones operate off of in there network.If you can get the info you may enjoy the phone but other than that forget it. If you do get the info, forward it to me at [email protected]

  • hi ive had the phone for about 13 months now I like the phone but the drives was not working on my pc, also the camera pics now are not as clear now. but would buy a lg again

  • may LGU8500 which is also known as LG U880 doesn't have bluetooth feature.i don't know why....hope you could help me. i just use usb and my memory card for me to be able to download files.

  • when i connect my phone to my PC using usb, the PC asks for drivers. please assist.

  • hey heres a tip.. your battery can drain ver quickly because your texting ring is on vibrate.. also texting can drain your battery very quick

  • it's the best phone!!! :-)))

  • this phone is realli reralli BAD...i have it..i cant recive messages and its gone all crap ive sent it away 3 times and got a brand new one but its still plays up..DONT GET THIS PHONE... peace

  • The description says the phonw will hold 1000 numbers but it is infact 500, and it can show you the last 100 activites on your phone weather that was incomming calls or outgoing just by pressing the call button. The mp3 player works well but there is no multi-task function so if you want to read a txt or play a game or do anything, the music will stop playing which is a little annoying. Over all a good phone with good functions.

  • i have now this phone..it's absolutely marveleous in some cases! but i have a problem and i want to ask your help....how can I put games from my computer to the phone?? please help me 'cause the games that i have don't work it gives me an erorr...thank you

  • hmm.... design not bad, but the thing is tht three buttons out side istaken frm the samsung design... CHEAP..!!!! copying people's idea...!!!

  • When I worked at 3 all we had were customer complaints regarding this phone. Speaker was to low, they switched the mobile off and it never switched back on, front screen wouldn't work and the battery life wasn't lasting a day. All I can recommend is dont get this phone or even better stay away from LG brand all together.

  • this soundz good....:) x

  • just look up ringtones on limewire and go to the LG web site its free there

  • hi all, although I have not bought this phone, my sister has, and she has found a string of problems... the phone sometimes doesn�t ring when on a loud outdoor profile and the phone frequently goes into 'dyslexic mode' ... the menu and all text on screen becomes mirrored, all backwards.. left means right and right means left this can only be solved by switching off and on again... another problem found is its tendency to invert the colours on screen, so in effect everything becomes a negative.. it does this randomly and again, can only be rectified but turning the phone on and off again, I wondered if these were common faults or if we were unlucky in getting a faulty phone

  • Hi Can you get satellite navigation for this phone? and if so, from where? Thanks

  • Hi all Does this phone have voice dialling. That is, Just speak the name into your phone and it will find and dial the number automatically for you. Thanks

  • The music from the advert for this phone is "Reniform Puls" by Autechre. Epic win. Bump for great justice.

  • anybody how can i get the music on the phone to play through the headphones? answer me quick email me: [email protected]

  • how do you play videos on the outside screen please some1 tell me!!!

  • for those who is facing a problem with speaker and playing music do stuff at the same time: if u long press the Menu key, u can switch between the applications.u dont need to close all the applications, u can toggle between number of applications. for speaker phone just press and hold the C button untill the speaker the icon appears on the top. overall the phone is tooo good for using. easy to operate.crystal clear picture sound quality is too loud brilliant LG

  • How do you down load games when you are using celtel line in Nigeria? Can a smart card be attached to the phone?

  • I have this phone for a while,and i think it's a good phone.But what i want to know is if this phone supports streaming?

  • Best phone ...all the things u need in a 3g ohone and a reasonable price....best deal

  • I bought this phone after going thru a whole heap of LG's and have to say it's better than all the other LG's out there!!! got an awesome camera!!! Yeah, the battery life isn't all that but ups for everything else.. Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • well....i have this phone allso but i had some porblems anyway couse the type was italian whit the smal sim's and i had to take him to an operation to change the sim entre anyway its the best phone i ever saw in my life so keep up the good work maybe i will join your firm just couse i like the phone !! see ya all later this mesege is from "Dr.evil.nick"

  • i think this phone is good....i am going to get it soon :D

  • make sure your bluetooth is off......that is a battery drainer

  • Battery life in standby is maximum 24 h.236 hours in standby is a lie.

  • battery life of talk time is not very good

  • do we have ghost dual sim card facility in dis mobile, does this mobile support themes if so wat is d format of that file!....pls do let me knw asap:-)

  • this is an amazing phone i would advise anyone 2 buy it its well worth the moneu mines in pink

  • it gud bt d battery can stay 4 more dan 24 hours bt i love d memeory

  • Love it - the battery life on mine is great. Extremly easy to use - highly recommended

  • LG U800 is not LG U8500. They are similar but not the same!! U880 is based on v10a but U8500 is v10c, and also many things are different. If you don't play much with mobile phone, yeah they r the same...

  • V.bade phone within 3 month two times give problam(deth) don't buy u880

  • The software provided together with this phone is not recognised by many computers.

  • i think its an awsome phone...everyone complains about the battery life...well if u using alot of features ofcourse its gonna drain..derr.charge it for 12 hours when u first get it..dnt be cool n use it straight away. its got all the features u'd want and need in a phone if u want more buy a laptop!!

  • Seriously cant stand the battery life on this beast, it's terrible. It wont last more than a day...so if you want to go out at night, then bad luck !...you got no phone tomorrow. For this reason i'd say it lags on design and performance. Good features, but wouldn't buy LG again.

  • easy to use

  • i have the pink phone its so pretty memory is really good like having an ipod on my phone!

  • got the limited edition metalic black love it

  • had no problems with my battery. tip - charge it fully if u get it b4 u use it takes like 12 hrs like most phones

  • The LG U880 is one of the best phones around there are lots of other good LG phones around but this one definatly tops the lot. ITS RIGHTEOUS!

  • Hey im really thinkin of getting this phone i think its very grovey and looks hot i really think its one of the best phone they have made it awesome.

  • Battery life is very poor. The phone I originally bought had a battery life of 36 hours on standby. replaced 2 pcb's and one battery on warranty. got phone replaced and the new one has a battery life of 48 hours on standby. very dissappointed. Back to the dealer again!

  • i had this phone for 8 months - a very long time for me! phone had all the best features-battery life wasnt the greaterst but this was because i used all the features on the phone that drained it!

  • i used this phone for 3months i didnt like it a lot the flap is giving me lots of problem even the battery life is not so good so dont buy this phone u ll b in big trouble

  • please explain how i can use mp3 as background sounds and work on phone???

  • if you can or can�t play music in the background cleary dempends on witch music player you use. Those of you who can play it in the background, what do you use playing the files?

  • Its a good phone, i just got it!! People saying something about playing the Mp3 and not able to function the phone...i don't have that problem..you can set it to "background sounds" and still function your phone. Battery is standard, lasts about 4 days Very nice, slim, light, lots of good features. I guess the only bad thing about it is that it wont play Gif. files/animations transferred to the phone from the PC if the file is over 500kb which sucks.

  • hi this is a very rocking cell

  • i just bought this new LG U880 it's amazing but i can't download and play games it's too bad i' from egypt and it's hard for me to us the internet opition tel me what can i do :(

  • Its a sleek fone i think one of the best LG has had in recent times please can i place an order online..get back to me as soon as possible.

  • This is a great phone, i love it alot. Great, clear and big screen. Easy to use. Good features. Great camera. Only thing is, it comes with hardly any pictures to use as wallpapers, and that really does suck. I'm still yet to learn how to download songs and pictures off my computer but for some reason it just aint working!

  • its a good phone, alot of people complain about it mainly because of the battery but then again, its bttery is pretty standard and lasts about 4-5 days, people just want better. over all, its quite good, sleek and has all the features.

  • I too had a problem with my battery discharging too quickly, even after changing the battery it still did the same thing. I took it to LG repair under warranty and they replaced the PCB (Main circuit board) and all of a sudden my phone is lasting up to 4 days :) So if you have the same problem take it to LG or authorised repairer and demand for them to replace the PCB(motherboard).

  • hmm........dunno iam just plannig to have one and i saw bad comments so changed my mind

  • well its a coolest phone i have ever used

  • is a good phone,and the battery is very good (4-5days)

  • Phone is nice but battery life is very very poor at certain times it becomes irritating.

  • horrible phone. i loved it at first. but have come to find out it lags & the camera is horrible. & as mentioned many times, the battery life is terrible. strongly recommend you go for a different phone. honestly i wouldn't get lg altogether. at first the phones are great but over six months they down-grade so much.

  • the phone is good. apart from one thing. th battery life sucks. mine doesnt even last a day. like just then the battery was full. i made one 2 minute phone call. and its down to one bar >.< and this. is still happening. even though it was in getting fixed for the past 2 weeks. which they obviously did nothing, but wipe all my memory clean. i wish i had chosen a different phone..

  • It's a nice phone i am from pakistan i have got unlocked it and using it here in pakistan, It's really a very nice phone.

  • Anna you said the first selection in options for the music player is play in background but all i found is pause... and none of the other options have anything close to that... >

  • Its the best ive used until now in LG phones. Used to have Motorola A1000 and Nokia 6680 but im really feeling better with this phone, maybe not the best,but i can say one of the best & i feel unique with it :)

  • Hey, for all of those whom are having trouble listening to their music on MP3 and say that ehy cant do anything else whilst it is on. heres the solution..when listening to your music, go into option on the music menu, and the 1st option on the list isbackground play if u press this than it will play whilst u read/right a message look at fotos, scroll through phonebook, play a game etc...

  • Loose the call when switching from 3 to gsm network and vice versa(sometimes i lose calls for no reason to). Bad batterytime. Bad mp3 player(cant do anything else while listening to music) Shitty quality. The colour is cool thou :)

  • i like the phone the colour especially.I feel good using it. Very easy to handel , i m lovin it .

  • hi its vary nice phone but I dont like one thing ... when i listening music i cant use other options ( like read mesages or smth ) mabye someone know how to fix it ? plz mail me :) sry for bad english

  • GD to use and nice and worth for ur money go for it

  • its alright although i have had better and the buttons would annoy me and its pretty big out 10 id give this phone a 7 and a half

  • nice phone

  • i had predecessor, some definate improvements with this fone, mp3's can also be bluetooth'd ova, dont necessarily need usb cable. Problem with internal aerial still remains and tend to lose 3 signal at certain places, having to change network manually a bit of a pain. Overall a good fone, loads more memory and functionality very usable.

  • hi all i have had my phone since january, mind you its the second one already due to its poor battery performance....lasts only one day...two days if your lucky without recieving phone calls....does anyone have the same problem

  • lovely phone

  • nice phone! smart but i'm dissappointed with the battery:only 4 days!!!!!!!too less!!!but for 150 euro i think its worth it ;) dont buy one make our lg u880 owners club more selective :P ceau

  • hi everyone... i wanna buy this fone..da style s rili cool... but im not quite sure which colour 2 get..deyr all nice.. i was thinking of pink..im a girl...bout whites also nice...nd da black looks always gd... anny comments??

  • hi can someone please tell me if theres an mp3 player on this fone or not. or how can i get mp3 songs onto this phone?

  • i think the fone is gd~ the only reason y ppl think is bad is cuz they are in american while the fone was made more for an asian/uk market which is the cause of the "confusing" control... different "customs" i guess... really though... it only took me about 1 hr to know all the functions/hotkeys on the fone mp3 is pretty gd, camara is not that gd in poor lit areas(thing doesnt have camara light thing), no u dont need memory card to wwork it, it will support 1 gb memory card, can use a normal/old sim card doesnt nnecessary need a usim as it saids it does over all i think is great

  • hey im considering buying this phone i have put a deposit on it at a local retail shop that has the LGU880 but i have read some of the reviews,very confusing may i add..some viewers see the phone as their worst nightmare and it was a waste of money, yet others see it as the best coolest phone ever produced...i would jsut like some advice of whom ever it is whether i should go ahead for the phone, is the mp3 good,is the camera quality good, do i have to buy a memory stick for the fone, or is it able to still be used without a memory stick.?any more opinions for myself would be greatly appreciated..thankyou

  • It is a very good phone and don't cost very much. Buy it , you will not regret. Bye

  • erm...i think it was trew that asked. in england, i can unblock an lg 3 phone and use any other national sim card in that phone. but i cannot use the 3 sim in any other phone. a 3 sim card will only work on a 3 phone. i didnt quite get your question but i hope this will help:) x

He got a free 512mb micro SD Card and a PC Cable & Connection Software etc. Its a great phone, he currently has 50 Cent-In Da Club as his ringtone and its an mp3 so you can set mp3 as tones.

  • My wife bought this phone "on her own" without consulting me. Now I have to help her out with everything. I'm amazed to see all the good reviews it has received. I must say the phone is 100% rubish. 1) The user interface is very counterintoutive. She can't figure out how to do things. (She even admits her old SE T68i was much easier to deal with. We still havent figured out how to make a call from the contacts... 2) Bluetooth impelemtation is primitive like hell. For instance transfering 100 songs to the memory card has to be done in ten batches. This as it can only be received to the "bluetooth files" folder in the phone memory which only has 70 MB free. The transfer from the phone memory to the memory card is panfully slow too. In conclusion, loading the memory card with music is a painful process taking several hours with lots of user intenventions. On SOnyEricsson phones the music can be directly to the memory card, no periodic user intenvecntion is needed. 3) The camera is the worse I've ever seen. A good VGA camera takes pics that are much better. I bought A SonyEricsson K510i (1.3 MP cam) to my son yesterday. Pics from that phone are not sllightly better. Fact is I wouldn't want a U880 even if it was thrown at me. I myself have a SOnyEricsson K750i. Even thou its $200 cheeper than this U880 it does *EVERYTHING* far, far better. /Bengt

  • hiya do any1 knows how 2 upload stuff frm pc 2 mobile i did call 3 n they told me that i need 2 have XP is that true coz im havin ME..plz need solution a.s.a.p

  • it's a toy not a mobile phone. i had the same it fell down and never worked again. i couldn't even change it. sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhame

  • Good phone though battery will not last longer than 48 hours without recharging.

  • Hmm. I don't know what to say about this phone. I have the white Roberto Cavalli. The design is alright but I'm not sure about the rest. The battery is quite terrible and runs out very quickly and the camera is absolutely dreadful. The phone also lags. I hate it how settings for things like camera always return to default and you have to set them everytime. Personally, I would not recommend this phone. xx

  • Hi, This is a great one, sound quality is perfect. images in the low light condition little bit bad.

  • Hello, can anyone let me know how I can transfer mp3 music stored on my pc to my mobile LG U880, THANKS

  • hey! its a great phone i m using it for last two weeks and its awesome. one shuld go 4 it. its really gud.easy to use.i m going to stick wid this

  • ello..this is a good fone.i was reading thru all the reviews.i shall help u's out if needed.ok here is: - if u wanna transfer ur music from ur pc to ur mobile, u need to install the cd that it came with and need to use the usb cable it came with after u install the cd. -having problems with having loudspeaker wen u make or receive a call? u gotta press the c button until a louspeaker icon shows up.

  • Hey ppls, I'm having 2 problems 1.When i try to rotate my camera i find that it is kind of stiff....Any thoughts on how this can be fixed? Second problem is: I have downloaded a couple of 30 second music sound clips to use as message tones...but why is it that the message tone will only alert for 10 seconds or less? Any suggestions on how to extend the time if possible, maybe a program that shrinks the size of a music clip??? if 1 is available I am open to suggestions

  • A Perfect Phone.

  • I have had a U880 for a few weeks now in Australia on 3, and I love it! Many of the problems people have described are solved if you follow the manual, or directions on the CD for PC link up. DO NOT hook up the phone/USB cable before you install the USB driver (1st), followed by the software(2nd). THEN(3rd!) plug the phone into the PC. If it doesn't recognise, unplug, restart the phone, and plug in. All done. Easy! You can transfer what you like to the phone - MP3's, Videos, Pics etc, the program is very easy, just drag and drop. A little slow at USB1 speeds, but grab yourself a MicroSD card & adapter and transfer via a USB2 SD card slot on your PC. I have to agree, that the earphones supplied by LG are terrible, very quiet, and a bad fit for any ear. If you can obtain a short converter cable (I got one from ebay cheaply) so you can plug in normal earphones, the sound quality is great, and VERY loud through headphones. The loudspeaker is a little tinny, but you can't expect more from a pair of 5mm speakers. The display is clear and crisp, and not quite the resolution of some other phones (Moto V3X for eg), it is more then enough for great photo viewing and for web/planet 3 stuff. The camera takes a decent size pic (1.3mp), not really for prints, but handy if you forget your digital camera and want to capture the moment. There is a known issue with this phone on "3" in Australia... auto-retreival of emails from the 3 server will play cause any new voicemails to be sent to your "kept messages" section of voicemail with 3. On the upside, if you set up your 3 email, you can retreive your voicemails via email as a wav file, so you need not spend money dialing into voicemail! 3 does limit emails to 300kb though. Apparently newer versions of the U880 with the "3 Player" have the option for auto email retreival disabled in the menu systems though. Overall, a great phone. If you read the manual, and ring 3 for help, you will get the most out of it. Cheers!

  • hi I've just got the lg u880 phone and its brill.The only problem is I dont no how transfer music from my pc to my phone.Any help would be extremlt appreciated

  • Its ok, a little big for me and it isnt as sleek as the older LG like the 8138 and 8120 but its nice.

  • i have a question for yah edmond(if your still readin this fourm thing) so you are saying that the phone works with a normal sim card?(with out the 3g functions of course)

  • does anyone know if this phone is compatable with the fido network is canada? i've been readin some stuff online where some say i must use a 3g sim card while other says i dun... so need to get this cleared up thx

  • its a gud fone

  • can I change mask on this phone ? how ?

  • Its a good mobile. I really liked it specially black set. I think it is very costly.

  • Guys an Gals!!! Why do you have to worry when you have 3 customer care at your service??? Just dial 133320 from your 3 handset and ask for technical support. They would be able to answer all your queries. Cheers.

  • Its a nifty phone. You can do practically everything with it, although I wasnt a fan of the txt msg system at first. I'll get used to that though. The camera on this is great! It rotates, for easy video conferencing or picture taking!! Overall a very good upgrade from my old motorola!

  • i just got this phone and its really good...the photo quality is not as good as i thought it would be!! The only bad thing is i couldnt store as much songs as i wanted to so i am going to purchase the expandable memory card. Also can some tell me if u play a song from the front of the phone using the play button etc. n then u open the phone and then u close it the songs stops...can that be fixed??

  • if course it's 3g...and it's slim ....i like it it's smooth ...the sound with it closed ... iz ...well not that good but overall it's a great phone ...i got it from italy ....in a box ..silled ...with 100 dollars...and noe i have to go and unblock it...which iz about 20 dollars....

  • I just had to take mine to be repaired. Apparently there's a 'plague' of these phones that have to be repaired because they keep having the same bug - where the screen stops at the '3' entry screen and won't proceed any further. For the most part I think it's a pretty good phone hardware wise, the camera quality is quite terrible. The interface and the computer software is TERRIBLE. For instance when writing a text message, if you are entering text in the lower-case dictionary mode and you want to enter an upper-case word, you have to iterate through a number of text entry modes to be able to do that, instead of just pressing a 'capitalise' key like I used to be able to do on my Nokia. Synchronisation with computer software is a complete mess. I can't use the software on my Mac. If they wrote the phone software in Java couldn't they at least do the same for the computer software so I can access it on different computers?

  • Can someone tell me if this phone is 3G or not.

  • this phone is great except the battery is rubbish, i have to charge it everyday!

  • Has any1 had any major problems with the phone becasue im gtin it this week and i need to know if there is. What is the camera like? on LG it says it has 3D sound with 2 speakers with 64 channels. is the music clear and loud?

  • I have tried to use the Usb cable to get songs onto my phone ect... BUT whenever i go through windows media player and click on sync.. it always says that No device has been detected, but everything is connected properly! can anybody help me in trying to get this device connected? thank you!

  • Heya. My dad recently got the phone, and it is (mostly) awesome. i tried to make him swap but he wouldnt!! lol. the only trouble we are having is that when we ring him, it only rings about 6 times then just cuts out or a message comes on saying it is unavailable. he doesnt have voicemail, and we have made sure its in a service range etc. any suggestions?? its really frustrating!! Thanks!!

  • hi i have had my lg u880 for about a month now, and i was looking at my texts when the screen froze. i tried turning it off but the keypad isnt working either. can anyone help me or give me advice on how to get it working. i love the phone and it is great so i am very upset at the moment.

  • I've had the 880 for about 2 weeks now. Got in on a 3 plan in Aus and pretty happy with it(upgraded from orange and got phone for free). Audio loud and clear (apart from some network issues). Reasonably intuitive to use and was transferring files from pc within minutes. Just make sure the fone isnt in a menu screen and then press the connect button in the top left corner of fone manager software. I found a free nokia media player program that can convert any mpeg or avi to .3gp file, and that is a very cool option to get fresh free vids on my fone but everyone wants me to b/tooth them! Charging every 3 days with a lot of calls,bluetooth fileswapping, watching vids and playing mp3's. This fone is exclusive to 3 Aus the brochures said and cant be unlocked to other networks. This makes it not as common. A friend with a razor v3 was impressed at the size of the fone in comparison to theirs. I'm pretty impressed overall and would recommend it to others. Didn't think I would be taking so many pics but now wish it had light or flash but night mode helps. Cheers, axiom

  • for all your PC problems follow these instructions: 1. Insert the CD 2. FIRST INSTALL the USB driver - don't install the Phone manager yet. 3. Once the USB driver has installed now install the rest of the programs on the CD 4. Switch OFF your phone and switch it back on again. 5. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable 6. Your PC should now make a few noises and install the handset 7. When your PC says your new hardware is successfully installed you are ready to go. 8. Launch Phone Manager 9. Make sure you LG U880 is on its idle screen and nothing is running in the background. 10. press connect on the Phone Manager and your phone should now say connected to PC. 11. Press contents on the Phone manager and it should launch the file browser. 12. Now you can drag and drop music/pictures/ videos in and out of the handset. I find it easier to drag and drop files into the left hand window on the Phone manager rather than the right main window. This is because it transfers the files directly rather than having to copy and paste.

  • Hi all, Can someone please help me transfer music into my LG U880 mobile which I bought recently. I am really hopeless but if someone who has a spare time to guide me would really appreciate it. please email me on the above. Taaaaaaaa.

  • can anyone help me i can't seem to figure out how to puit on music. i really need some help i desperately need it.

  • *sigh* I have done everything EVERYTHING to get the mp3 to work. When I turn off the phone in the phone manager the"*" still does not appear in the com port thingy. Any more sugguestions?

  • I bought this phone recently - The biggest mistake I ever made!! I have been impressed by the features but stupid 3 australia wont unlock it!!I want it unlocked because I really dont like 3au services. The people are rude and I wish I could go back to vodafone. I cannot get it unlocked anywhere. I am praying it will come soon, because I cant afford for a $400 phone to sit there and then have to turn around and buy a new phone... a bit of advice, really research the carriers first.

  • I use my phone frequently and the battery life is fine. FOR THOSE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONNECTING PHONE TO PC: After connecting the phone and starting up the phone manager, if you can not find the ** in any of the ports, turn your phone off then on again while connected. It should then work.

  • LG phones is good. Features, design and etc are great. The only problem is always the battery life is too goddamn short!

  • sorry i found phone manager n i cnat find no *'* or whatever thingy

  • heyloo everybody umm i really am hopeless at this but i got the pink one and sexy as hell..anyweyyy how do i get to phone manager?

  • Hi, I was trying to connect my phone using bluetooth to the PC's desktop software to no avail, I think the com port is correct (it's 14 on my computer), having switched on the bluetooth on both the PC and the phone, I choose the com port on the phone, clicked "Connect" on "LG Phone Manager", the PC thinks for a while and then said it failed. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • had the phone a couple of months now superb phone in every way would adice you get transflash memory card though as too easy to use up internal memory also the video phoning could be better quality but other then that very good phone

  • DOODS- I did everything you said but theres just one problem. When I set my com port i dont know what to set it to because there is no **! Now what do I do?

  • hmm, i just got the phone today, and im having trouble figuring out how to put music from my pc to the handset... meh

  • follow these steps to connect your phone to your pc: 1. attach usb cable to phone 2. connect to the pc. make sure phone is in standby mode - meaning no running programs 3. open 'lg phone manager' 4. click 'Contents' on th left window 5. click 'Transfer' then 'Set COM Port.' if u followed these steps correctly, you can see that the default port is marked with '*'. Select it and select USB as well. click ok. 6. click on 'Transfer' again and then finally 'Connect' 7. phone is now connected Please make sure that before you follow these steps, the necessary software is already installed on your pc. have fun.

  • this is a great phone. easy to use and if ur having probs with the phone read the manuals, thats what its for ;) but if ur havin trouble with mp3 adding u need to use the phone manager and than transfer, it aint hard people

  • Hey! Well I have to say this is the best phone I have ever gotten but one problem....how do you download music from your computer to the phone. I have read all the posts but none have helped me. The message keeps on saying the "COM" is incorrect and it has failed or something. Can you email me please?

  • in response to jenny and the others who don't know how to transfer files from phone to pc & vice versa... you need to put the software onto your computer, plug in the data cable, open up 'phone manager' and click 'connect' (top left corner). double click on a folder with music you want to transfer, and the files should appear in the window on the top right side... click and drag the files one by one into the "sounds" folder in the 'lg phone' folder in the list on the left. I know this sounds terribly confusing, but its really simple once you actually do it. Cheers

  • I have had this phone for around 6 weeks now, i bought it in black. I have owned Ericssons, Nokias, Nec's, and Motorolas and the u880 comes in at the top of my list. The battery life is terrific, lasting me around 3 days on medium use. The graphics are sensational. The only downfall i can think of is that the camera does not perform too well in low light. It has huge memory which is astounding considering its size. It can take videoo up to 60 minutes! It has a lot of options for personalisation. Absolutely love this phone and would highly recommend it.

  • hi, my partner and i have just bought an LG U880 each. i am running windowx xp and am not a computer genius, ive tried every thing i can think of to try and transfer music and pics from my pc to my handset and i seem to be getting no where also am unable to send/recieve mms, it would be greatly appreciated if some one could tell me a solution, if you know one PLEASE email it to me, thanks!

  • I got the roberto cavalli edition of the U880 on saturday, and im in love. the pic quality is great, sound quality rocks, and the software is really easy to use (to transfer files etc). i do have one question... on the phone there is a feature where u can make your own GIF animation... ive done this but all the GIF's come out really tall and skinny... why is this and how can i fix it? Cheers

  • Great phone. Problems when syncing with MS Outlook that after a few synchs the phone wants to add back all the contacts and duplicate them. Any ideas?

  • I got this phone about 2 months ago and its terrible...it won't hold a charge, randomly switches off, doesn't turn on, doesn't play noises when i get a msg...just to name a few! Boo hiss boo, LG!

  • Does anybody know where I can download U880 games??? please tell me! or if you have it, please - send me on email - [email protected]

  • I am having the same problem with not being able to transfer mp3's from my computer onto my phone! its really annoying as it got it for one of these features and i have no intention of paying 7 dollars per song when i have around 500 on my computer someone please help me im really desperate to get music onto my phone. the manual is TOO basic and the programs are less than great. Help me please -caragh

  • No caller ID because the person who called you set his options to no Caller ID. This is great, similar to the 8360, just with better looks. BUT THE PRICE DIFFERENCE -.-' $389 - $259. I preferably recommend 8360 due to that huge price difference

  • i've ordered this phone and i cant wait til it arrives! Mind you, the sales lady was very convincing

  • Left a previous message, so wanted to make clear that when I wanting to know about video and sound quality, I meant to RECORD. Bye

  • Does the phone have high quality video and good sound recording capabilities say like the N70? And are the memory cards very expensive? Have a samsung, and found it good but want video capability. LG products are generally very average, so unsure about getting this phone, but 3 deal appealing.

  • I always get no caller id but i have the callers numbers in my contacts.. can ne 1 help?

  • This phone is cool!Can work in Romania?

  • brilliant 3g phone! not too bulky, reception considerably improved, and has what u would generally expect eg. bluetooth, mp3 enabled, games, etc.

  • hello i just got a LG U880 phone and i am having troble downloadin music from the computer to the phone can any one hlep me with this issue. thanks alot

  • I have the pink version of this phone and it's fantastic! i would reccomend it to anyone! wicked, really good! if you don't like it, thats your choice, but mine is great!

  • Hi, can anyone help me? I'm looking for a headphone adaptor for my LG U880 phone. I love to listen to music on the phone, however the standard earphones that come with the phone are too big for my ears and keep falling out. I would like to use my own set of headphones, however there is no connection on the phone for the jack. For this reason I would like an adaptor so I can plug it into my phone and use my headphones, but I cant seem to find one anywhere! I know that they are manufactured, because they can be found in the LG U880 music pack, but I want to know if they can be bought on their own somewhere. If anybody knows where to get them from, I would really appreciate it if you could send me a email. Thank you so much!

  • can u use windows 98 to install the software or do you have to have win 2000/xp

  • Having problems with phone going to voice mail to quick ?? answer. ring your provider and they will give you a code to enter in the handset. Gives you 30 seconds until it diverts.once that was sorted, I am very happy with the phone. The battery life could give a bit more though, using all the features the phone offers. does drain it quickly.

  • FINALLY Got this phone to connect to my PC with the USB Data cable! Wooohoo! If people are still having problems (Like I did), then make sure you install the drivers and software (Whilst the phone is NOT plugged in the USB port). Then when you connect the phone and it still doesn't work - try turning your mobile off, leaving it for a few seconds, and then turn it back on again. This worked for me!! Rarghr!

  • I have this phone on order and was just wondering about the games and camera. Does it come with any games at all or do you have to download them? If so, then is there any free sites I could use to download them from. As with the camera could someone send me a picture taken with it? In your opinion is the camera good quality or bad? Thanks, Deb

  • hi,ive had this phone for few months now and on the first nite i charged it and my battery only last 2 days but i play a alot of music is dat y email me

  • hi all i got this phone 3 days ago its a good phone,but can anyone help me i cant seem 2 turn the voicemail off so the phone rings 4 20 secs then the voicemail kicks in

  • Can that model's memory be treated on a pen drive basis, or you can't download anything from it to your PC?

  • Hey all Yep got this phone today and must say I am very impressed by it so far. Very stylish, very cool to use and loads of features. does anyone know of any good free java games sites for this phone... :) To answer those who are saying their USB connection isn't working, are you using a hub to connect, because if you are, it won't work, you need to direct link the phone to the USB port on the computer as it uses up power to connect, and the USB hub doesn't always have that type of power. Well that is what i found out anyway. Have fun with the New LGU880 I hope this phone can serve me well.

  • Great phone ! the best I have ever used... Having problems connecting with the usb cable cant get a connection. Although it charges. installed the cd ok but still cant get a connection. Can anybody help ? Also speaker alittle soft when closed....

  • LG stands 4 "life's Good" but the real meanin is "Lucky Goldstar" which was 2 companys merge to make LG, i think thats it

  • I have bought this from 2nd hand., so without using 3G band but my 2G provider. All the communication are not working such as: email, GPRS to my Palm TX to get email. Well, I do not mind too much as reason I bought as 2nd hand is, LG880 do not sell in public market but need to subscribe to 3G network provider. In other word, it is cool if you carry one since they do not sell like normal mobile phone that everyone can get one with $$$. Just to let you guys know those email thing not working if you insert other 2G sim card. regards edmond

  • can i ask something what is the meaning of LG?!

  • Great phone. really happy. like everyone else im having trouble getting mp3's onto it from my pc. loaded the software but when i plug the phone in it doesnt respond. any help would be appreciated. please e-mail me

  • Can anyone help me with a firmware for lg u880 v10a? please email to me at [email protected]

  • How similar is the u880 to nokia phones, handling-wise? I have used nokia for the last 4 years, and would prefer a mobile which is similar. Thanks!

  • got phone and cant wait to show my friends those strugling to put music on keep trying to cause i have already done it but it is to hard for me to explain

  • I got my pink LGu880 on Thursday and I love it. The only quibble is that the ringer is very quiet when the flip is closed, otherwise this is the best phone I've ever had. There is a good support site at three.com.au which helped me resolve the difficulties I was having transferring music. It's a gorgeous phone!

  • I have had this phone for 6 weeks now and i have to say it is the best phone i have ever had, for all those having problems sending music, i got a bluetooth device from ebay (5 quid) and it works fine, i have MP3, MP4 videos, everything, the camera is not the best but it is far from the worst, buy this phone!!!!

  • Living in the United States the first thing I have to check is if it has 850 mhz, which is a must in a lot of the areas of our country. Hopefully cell phone makers will someday make 850 mhz an automatic when they build new handsets. Either that or wait until the USA has UMTS/3G coverage nationally. Until they do, they're losing untold billions from people who can't use their handsets where they live, Have a nice day.

  • whats the music quality like? can anyone compare it to the v3x?and can you store mp3s on the mmc and use them as a ringtone?i heard v3x doesnt let you

  • its a good Phone but still would prefer a Nokia. The keypad is not so good & camera quality nothing compared to nokia N70

  • yz perfect

  • i am getting 2 days with heavy use and 3 with moderate use.. moto v3x owner maybe thats why a lot off retailers are with drawing the moto v3x..

  • Plz if anyone knows how to download Java games from pc on to this den please email me at [email protected] or reply to dis post plz plz plz plz

  • I currently have a motorola v3x but have had too many problems with it (have had it replaced 4 times in 6 weeks) so now have the option to have it replaced with the lgu880. I would like to hear from anyone their thoughts if I should swap.

  • The LG U880 is a great phone, and user's like neil must'nt know how to use the phone correctly if they keep getting problems like "poor battery life" or "drop outs". For the first of the suggested problems, did u charge it overnight when you first bought it? do you constantly play games, listen to music, take photos or make movies? These are very energy draining activities. Even so, i use my phone for those activities alot, i dont get a drop in battery level until much later in the day, like after dinner if i havnt put it on charge. As for the second suggested problem, did you know that your phone will disconnect during a call while transferring from a 2G zone to 3G zone, and vice versa? And how do you hold the phone? the antenna is is located in the lower section of this fone, below the keypad to my belief. Its an internal antenna, and if you cover this area while talking, speech quality can degrade quite a lot. Thats just my two cents. But it could be a help to some others experiencing the same or similar problems. Cheers, Dean

  • i just brought this phone today, but it says i have a COM PORT problem? i have installed the program for pc but it dosnt want to connect, i see lots of other people have the same problem, has anyone got an answer??

  • Battery life is terrible. Keeps cutting out during calls. Supposed to b improved lg phone, see no difference at the minute. VERY UNIMPRESSED

  • hi just had this phone today and wanted to know how to download music from my pc to the phone can anyone help email me please Thanks

  • i have this phone works good. all the software works fine for me, if you want so me help you can email me

  • Yeah, this phone is pretty good. I'm reasonably happy so far. My complaints? The manual is too basic! Need more explanation on a lot of fronts (eg what it a dateulator?). There are no clear instructions as to how to get MP3s from your pc to the phone. Everyone seems to be having this problem. Also, not much in the way of themes or tones & no game. The 1.3mp camera is not as good as the 1.3mp in my nokia 6230i. If anyone can help with the mp3 issue, please feel free to email me!

  • Very good phone. Battery life is good. Only problem is downloading songs to my phone through my P.C. Can someone help???

  • why cant i transfer songs from my computer to my phone via usb cable? it says i should have an asterix next to a COM port but mine doesnt. Also, is the software compatible with Windows ME, or is that where im going wrong?

  • can any true owners off this hanset give me there honest verdict .. on this phone looks battery life and features..

  • Well overall features of the handset is good but the only flaw is that it does'nt support EDGE b'coz i always acess GPRS on the Laptop & Computer.

  • im really disapointed in 3 australia they were offering this great handset at a good price 299 and i was so close to having enuf money to but one and bam the day i find myself 20 dollars short they up the price to 449 their is no way im paying 449 for this i can get a k750i for that price and for 50 dollars more theirs placesd in the city selling locked :( v3x's

  • Ive got a some videos in mp4 format on my computer and i transferd it to my Lg u880 phone and it wouldnt let me watch it. Any clues on how to get mp4 movies to be watched on the phone.

  • looks very trendy jus wondering if it would be between $200 and $400 dollars....it looks really kool and a good thing it has a camera

  • Hi All, I just got this phone but is having some problem configuring it to connect higher than 115K connecting to 3G through my notebook. My previous Nokia 6680 can connect at 384K without any problem. Any advice? Also it seems to be some issue configuring the phone to connect by itself to the 3G internet world. Is there any special configuration? Tnks.

  • Yes you do need a special simcard in order to use a 3G/UMTS phone.The simcard must to be at 34K,USIM or 64K(recomended)The older simcards will not work propelly and may not find network or may give some problems to the phone

  • Yes i do need a special simcard in order to use a 3G/UMTS phone.The simcard must to be at 34K,USIM or 64K(recomended)The older simcards will not work propelly and may not find network or may give some problems to the phone

  • Hi. Just ordered my LG U800 and was thinking about the simcard... is if a special simcard you gotta put in these 3' phones, or does the phone work like to old ones, without the 3 function??? - Plz help me...

  • the phone is excellent and best to use as it is slimmer guess even than Motorla V3 phones.. Also attractive phone and best selling in UK..

  • hey im about to order the LG U880 but i CANNOT decide on which colour to get! im thinking black at the moment, and i reckon silver is too plain and pink is too "barbie"like, im a chick but shuld iget pink silver or black? wat do u recommend? thanx

  • I have this phone for about a week. I am a tmobile US customer, I finally got my tzone to work. Still having problem setting up my MMS Setting. Does anyone know how to make this work? Please help! Thanks

  • please let me know how can download music on my new LG U880 phone. I have installed on my computer the softwear with the mini disk i was given, thinking after that, i thought it would impropt me to keep clicking next up to when i can download the music i want from particular websites.

  • hey people this phone is good, ive had it for about three week and nothings gone wrong, considering the other three lg phones are pretty average. does anybody know how to make a java program like eMSN work on the phone it keeps saying there is a internet error. i dont know if its because its three internet and not wap.

  • Hi, just a quick question about the U880's battery life - any good? At the moment I have a Samsung Z500 which last three days at best with little actual use of the phone, is the U880 same or better/worse?

  • The Lg U880 Is a Funky Phone Good Sound and Pic quality Plus Lots of Gadgets...Mine is in Pink A Totally Girly Phone Slim And Sleek

  • Excellent phone, Those of u complaining of multi-task, its not a smartphone, what do u expect??? Looks great, feels great for a 3G phone. Im in UK, and the 3 reception is always near full. Battery lasts longer than most 3g phones aswell. Sound quality is CRYSTAL CLEAR. This phone is attracting looks from everyone.

  • hey i just got this phone it is awsum the sound is so good doesnt matter if it closed or not and the camera is da best everything is so gud i recomend u get it

  • how do you get the clock to come up on the main big screen? also, u think it's better than the motorola V3? also find the reception isn't that good. im on 3.

  • The only problem i have with this phone is that when you close the clam, it doesnt return to the main screen. It stays on the menu that it was on before closing. But other than that i totally love this phone hand highly recomment it. Those people saying it isnt loud enuf need to get a room cos my phone is almost too loud! love it!!!

  • hey guys ive had some help with my last post now since im getting the phone 2 morrow which is friday if someone could send me a pic taken by it A.S.A.P

  • @ck tracer I heard some people did that (cut the ;big' sim,to mini sim)here in Serbia,since in here mini sims will be available in a month.So juct cut it to the right size and be careful not to ruin the contacts part,that golden part. Good luck :)

  • This is a great phone full of features, except the problem is the this phone can not multitask, for example you can not play games while listening to music, that is the only downside aside from that there is no problems

  • The MP3 player does indeed stop when the clam is closed but you can start it using the external controls. If you have a headset plugged in then the MP3 player and video player will still play even when you close the flip. EXCELLENT PHONE!!

  • i heard that the mp3 player stops when you flip it closed is that true?

  • what a classsic at last from lg in this fone. there best fone up to-date.great camera, videoing, music. amazing amount of memory with a xtra card slot as well.a must for all people with common sense for a good looking performing fone.9.5/10.*****

  • -------------HELP PLZ-----------------------I have a u880 pink and it is fab i luv it so much but the thing is that it seds it has a mp3 playa where i dnt understand how you download the music plz help if u hav one cuse i no how to plug it it but i duno the rest help me plz LUVIN IT THOW HEHE ------------Thank you----------------------

  • I was wandering if I can trust Lg mobile phones?I want to buy an U880 but I don't know if it has the same quality of sound(mp3) with my SE910i.Can you tell me what phone can I buy which is clamshell,which has external memory,good screen and good battery.thanks.

  • i know this is the LATEST offer from LG, but if i,m really honest my previous handset the LG8380 is easier to use also has a far superior camera with external light . when i put both phones beside each other the old phone still looks good but the u880 obviously has greater ability

  • Really nice phone! The only thing I don't like about it is it loses reception A LOT and I'm constantly having to go into the settings and fix it myself. Other thing is the charger plugs into the right side of the phone which is a bit of a pain when you want to charge and type at the same time

  • hi guys,ive got this phone on hold at 3 and i can change phones if i wont but im just wonder if some one could send me and email @ [email protected] telling me how good the mp3 playa is the camera the usb connectivity thx :D

  • This phone is really good! I currently have the Nec N412i. Bought it a week before this phone came out. Dim.. I agree. But if i had the chance, this phone would have been my pick. More features, good battery life, the battery isnbt built inside of the phone, and the camera is top! Quite good for 1.3mp. Not to forget about the memory space. Looots of room for those mp3 tunes. I recommend it to everyone to go and buy it! ^.^

  • Hey guys don't make supositions about phones you dont even see it!!! I have LG U880 and it's verry good phone.I recommend it to anyone.I put a T-Flash memory card 256MB and its working perfect.For those who think that LG U880 is not good phones :BIG Mistake. Probably is the best 3G phone from LG.

  • For Jake: The phone does also charge when you plug in the USB for file transfers. This was designed to do this. so there is nothing wrong with the phone. A lot of people have had problems with LG phones. The most common problems were probably the phone restarting, freezing etc. However, LG did actually make an effort to fix those problems with the U880. So far, there have been no complaints with regards to this phone. I would give 8/10. Jut small things like Flash & no Voice Command.

  • Ive had 4 LG phones U8110, U8120, U8183 and now U8380 using them for business and of late music, My son has an NEC, Daughter a Motorola, Ex wife a Samsung all good phones. These days our phone is important to the travelor with World-Time-Zones, a Stop-watch, Clock, Diary, Calculator, Currency convertor, Camera, Video and more. The Business man is starting to realise its a business tool and not just a phone. Now LG has the (M) Porsha look alike with a Breathalizer & Remote control in it. I'm on 3, they replace each phone when i want a new one! "My point" 2 problems 1. the sim card dosn't store every number i enter when i change phones. 2. Functions of currency convertor is hard to work ((( Go back to the old ways of converting currency on U8120))) it's easyer its Important for businessmen. I guess the U880 will have the same problems.

  • Just got the phone. Looks and feels cool but cannot get the phone to read-sim card. Has anyone had the same problem. Please advise. Keeps saying insert USIM Card. Thanks Raj

  • re: Mac OSX - is there any information available about syncing the Mac Address Book with the phone contacts ?? Bluetooth connectivity allows for individual file transfers of business .vcf cards between phone and computer but this is a slow way to import.

  • The menu system on this mobile is hard to get use to i"ve just bought the WHAT MOBILE magazine who have reviewed the mobile an they gave it 4 out of 5 with its score this is the best magazine to get other than gsmarena to check mobiles out before you chose to buy the one to please you

  • Bought the pink version of this as it looks neat and slim. I knew it didnt have a flashlight on the camera before I got it, but it is dissappointing nevertheless, as the last phone I had was the older version of this one and that had one!! Strange!! Had the phone for about 1 month, and shall keep it, pleased with the majority of functions, but another whinge really is the speakers are on the inside and dampens the sound down too much, and makes it difficult to hear unless you have a loud type of ringtune. Really having difficulties trying to get a transparent pouch for it to protect it though! All in all, give it 8/10

  • ... My Dad in Italy bought U880, but the mini USIM is not yet available in the market here in Philippines... can I cut the OLD USIM to the size of mini USIM? Please email me if this will work... Thanks.

  • Grace - Ive had 4 LG phones and there all good. I guess you got a lemmon when you bought yours but these days we carry our mobiles everywhere "7 days and Nights" a week. Name anything on this planet that we use every day that would last and take that much use. How long does your hand bag last or shoes or lighter if you smoke. If you draged a laptop to work, Night club, Lunch and Dinner it wouldn't last. My son has a NEC, My daughter has Motorola, My ex-wife has Samsung, All good phones - I like LG for business. Anyway 3 seem to swap phones when you need a new phone. Hope that helps you.

  • i refused to get the new LG U880 phone because of my previous experiences with LGphones they tend not to last for more than a year.Are they desighned to function for one year?

  • Super slim 3g phone but only a 1.3mp camera but it does look brilliant!

  • hi i think this phone is ace! i wish i had 1! but my mum n dad say no coz i have already got 1!! if it was cheeper i could buy it!but i only have �100 :( i also like the motorola V3X RAZR but it's well over �200

  • hey could someone tell if the speakers mp3 player is better then the lg u8360 cause im interested in bying one

  • Honestly speaking, this phone is quite ugly!

  • some one help me my lg is screwed and i put the usb in and it charges wtf help asap

  • to who got lg u880 from italy.this phone has two versions.one is italian vesion.its only can use in italy.and the other us version.can put normal sims.so normal sims cant use as mini usims.return ur phones immediatly.thanx

  • i don't know what you're talking about the U880 does have a full organiser, calendar and currency converter. It evens syncs with Outlook

  • When will LG learn - Build a Mobile for kids, 1 for the every day user, Then build 1 for the businessman. When Comparing phones U880 has No Organiser or Calendar does it have a Curency converter? I hope so!

  • To synchronise your LG U880 you need to install all programs PLUS install the USB drive from your CD. I found if you do not install USB Drive it will not detect the phone. Then simply run the synchronise program, then desktop manager. After that, simply copy and paste files from your folders to the phones folder. ^_^

  • I have the LG U880,I tried to download some music mp3 from my computer onto my LG U880 phone but it isnt working. I have the USB cable but i cant get it to work. I dont know whats wrong. Please, if anyone can help me to get it work, you will rock! =) Thanks

  • excellent phone... got if for �0 becasue i was due a updrade with 3.... best phone ever so much smaller than my old LG U8360 which was much thicker...

  • How do i minimise the mp3 player without stopping the music, every time i minimise it the music stops, and also can i close the screen without the music stopping??? Please help Matt

  • Hi all, I got one of this for Christmas, however it is purchased from Italy and has a mini USIM slot. Can I cut a normal USIM to make it fit in this phone? Pleaseeeee write me, I am desperate:(

  • does this phone work with verizon?, can somebody just email me and tell me, thankyou

  • well i bought this phone from Italy but..it needs MINI USIM...can you tell me if this phone can be used with a normal-sized sim card ? please e-mail me.thank you.

  • hey..just wondering how i put songs onto my LG u880? does anyone have any simple directions? thanx.. :)

  • No idea when the next version is due but it appears to have a Motorola V3 style keypad, otherwise it looks much the same.

  • Ok well i now know that to play videos on the front screen you must have the headset plugged in which is kinda annoying but oh well. 1 final thing I do not know how to do though is how do you transfer .jar programs to the u880?? When syncing with my pc the software that came with it only allowes the access of pics, videos and sounds folders and you cannot copy .jar into them. So far the only way to install games i have found is by getting a friend to send them to me from his phone via bluetooth and installing them from the my bluetooth folder. Surely there is a way to get them from your pc. Any help would be great. Please email me or reply on here.

  • Sorry about my last post guys. The phone doesn't diplay ID3 tags at all. But it is capable of creating playlists so you can choose which songs you want. You can also control the playlist using the front keys.

  • This is regarding the MP3 player. You can create and save your own playlists. It displays the artist and the title. I just don't know if it displays all the ID3 tags because I only put in the artist and the title on all my MP3 files. The earphone that comes with it is just fine although the sound produced is 'bassy.' The free Altec Lansing headphone works just perfect. One thing that I think lacks is the equalizer function as well as play modes like random, repeat, etc.

  • Got this phone for $0 thru an upgrade of my 3 subscription. It came with a free Altec Lansing headphone and a 256MB Transflash memory. It already shut off suddenly a few times though. But I still think it's great overall. Will just observe and see what happens. BTW, the CD that came with the package is a small type and it contains all the drivers needed for PC connectivity.

  • The comment about the next version having a flash... when is it due?

  • I cannot seem to download the drivers for this phone. The user manual is very unhelpful. Can anyone help me... please?!?

  • hello friends i am from india i wanna this phone and brother gift to me thi week but i heard that this phone has a smaller sim from other ... just confirm me...as soon as possible..? br mr999 :)

  • can someone tell me how can I talk pc to phone with webcam ?? email me

  • I just bought this phone and love it. Could someone please tell me though how do I view videos on the front sub lcd????? I swear I did this at one stage and then was never able to again no matter what i pressed. Someone posted in this forum that it was possible to do so and I would really like to know. Thanks. David. Please Email me or reply on here.

  • Ok guys thinking of getting this phone. One question -how does the mp3 player rate? Does it organise the mp3s into Artist, Album, Genre etc? or you have topick them all up randomly from a folder using their titles?! Thanx

  • I have the LG U880,I tried to download some music mp3 and files from the computer to the mobile.I have this USB cable but I don't know how to use it. If you can give me some tips. Thanks

  • are there any games on this thing or are they only downloadable??

  • Any problems with battery life? Also, how does the reception compare to some of 3's other handsets?

  • Can anyone advice me how to increase the "reserved" memory amount. for example, I want to enter more than 100 entries in the calendar. thanks

  • does anyone know where to get the software to upgrade to a 2mp. is this even possible? email me if you know. What do people think of the functionality of the phone, again email me thanks.

  • Very bad that the software that comes in the package does not match with OS X. Only for windows. Those of you interested in it that have a mac i would advise buying a bluetooth gadget. Anyone knows any other ways to sync it with a mac ?

  • is the bluetooth on this phone compatible with Tomtom 700 navigation system? please advice

  • I m just asnwering a few questions u all asked... 1stly, none of u indeed know the multitasking feature or the phone, if u long press the Menu key, u can switch between the applications.u dont need to close all the applications, u can toggle between number of applications. For Tony, the mobile plays MP4 files, just check for DRM or any other authorization For Jade, flip open, from Menu u can go to MultiMedia for camera, or simple press the camera side Key, camera will start. For Martial-Make a long key press on the keys below subLCD,it will glow & u can see the time. For David--u can use the multi tasking as I described to work on other things while listening to songs... TO Deeps-- It supports Bluetooth Dont worry, for the next version, there will be a flash for the camera... I hope many questions are answered... take care

  • ok il have a look around for some,thanks

  • Stacey instead of cancelling the contract increase the quality of the camera to 2mp by some software.

  • In relation to opening the phone to make the screen light up. Hold any of the buttons for 2-5 seconds to make the front light up. What i noticed is when the front screen is lit up so is the main screen (probably why it goes black to save power). Awsome phone, still need to get used to the lg format goin from a SE. But a good purchase and an awsome camera.Recommended.

  • Ive had this in pink for a week and it is a good phone. the only let down for me is the video recording, it looks like really good quality as you are filming and then when u play it back it isnt that clear. The camera is quite good but my boyfriend has the lg slide up phone and his camera is way better than mine even thought they are both 1.3 mega pixels.i think im guna cancel the contract and get th nokia 6280 on o2.

  • Hi i try to transfer music from pc to mobile, not able to, can someone please help me,thanks.

  • i recently got one of these phones and they are great but i want to download some video clips from the net and put them on my phone, does anyone have any idea what format these phones play. i tried a MP4 format, but the phone does not rcognise it. Have any ideas?

  • How do you take a photo while the phone is fliped open??? i dont understand i havent got one yet but how do you???

  • ok just bought it, very cool indeed. No time to wait for the motorola new razor. for mp3 inside the trans card, you must move them to sound folder inside the card. after you can play mp3 from the front screen. Speaking of front screen, i get 2 issues: wallpaper outgoing calls, never show up. But my main problem is the front screen turn off even i remove the backlight to off.... i can not check the time, i must open the mobile to do so, any idea?

  • just ordered one of these in pink...i hope it is as good as u guys have said it is...still i have 7 days to change my mind

  • Hi Guys, does anybody know how to play mp3s saved on the transflash card on the front screen? Also, is it possible to "minimise" the mp3 player whilst playing songs and doing other things at the same time like Sony Ericsson phones?

  • it is the best 3g phone out it looks so sleek and sexy and im getting it for christmas, cant wait

  • i really really want the pink version of this phone. is it an overall good phone or not?

  • hey guys, does anyone know if this phone supports the bluetooth API? I want to use puppetmaster: I want to know weter it'll work, before i purchase it Cheers

  • i got this phone today, for free! because my phone bill averages around $110 a month i was entitled to a free phone of my choice, very happy with it although i would have liked a flash, and havn't heard sound quality yet, but for a free phone i'm happy!

  • cool!

  • hey to the guy who wanted speakerphone on his handset, hold down the 'C' button during a call. its a great phone.

  • the problem with this phone is no camera flash and no handsfree speaker. but still cool i got a pink one i swapped with my mom! she got the silver.

  • waited ages for it, i now have one in black, it has great features,great look but i im sending it back. i have had it for 2 days as well as my lg8138 & nokia 6680,the signal is very poor compared to them, it looks better without an aerial but put it in your pocket and no one can reach me, GUTTED.

  • i have a lg u880 ,it s a great phone

  • in italy this phone only can be use with mini usim card.what is the deference between sim and mini sim card,and may i use this phone with normal sim card.thanks

  • this phone is totally hot!!! even though i dont have 1 i was looking at 1 at the three store 2day at towers and the salesman has 1 in pink and it has a reali clear screen... the pink is totally hot!!! there is 1 downside though i think the fone is a bit plain compared 2 the lgu8360 which is another fone i am considering gettin but they r both kewl fones anywayz...

  • would it be able to support a 512 trasflash card? plz reply

  • For the price an ok phone. Compared to the Motorola E1000 far fewer features. Can't customise much and the front screen has no option to stay on all the time which IMO defeats the purpose of having a front screen. MP3 control buttons on front are a waste of space as the speaker quality is not good with the flip closed. Should have an "on" button to activate the front screen instead. Font colours apart from black can be very blurry. I should have got the Samsung Z500

  • does this fone support mpeg 4 video?

  • this phone isnt all that ,there is no flash,no recording conversation which was handy when you have no pen,the speakers are poor when phone closed (why on inside) and the themes are limited.it would of been nice to be able to watch videos with flip closed(if you can please tell me how)and when you listen to audio with flip closed it would be nice to watch a better effect than a dancing 3 symbol maybe a video clip still at least antenna has gone,

  • this is currently on sale on the three network australia for $300au

  • Hi In this phone u can have 100 Organiser enteries, the Alarm works even in the power off. u can set the ringtones & Alarm tone as MP3 or any other format awailable for sound files.

  • guys, i have got a PINK one~! it is great for me and i love it a lot.

  • in australia, if u buy this phone from a 3 store, u can get only silver. but if u order them over phone, u can get black. i got the black one.

  • Hi To the member of the development team (or anyone else), do you know what the latest version of the sofware should be for this phone? 3 said it should be V09D whereas mine is V10A. Also the camera and video recording capability is very flaky (non-clear and dull regardless of picture settings), especially in comparison to the LG8180 which has excellent picture quality. There also seems to be far less customisation than the LG8180 i.e. changing the two quick access items (e.g. Planet 3 on RHS of screen) and the inability to set colour schemes etc.. Thanks

  • this phone is great! just got it today, ive seen the black one but "not on stock" yet i prefer my silver much more appealing. know nothing much about this phone, still getting used to the features and functions. the dealer said i have to charge it atleast 10 hours before turning it on!!! (after purchase) thats too long!

  • Is a great phone - however how do you transfer mp3's to the phone and also transfer pics/videos off the phone to a laptop. Can seem to do it through the USB connection. Email me please. Thanking you in advance

  • This is better than my 8180. Just slightly less volume and the covers for the ports are a little on the flimsy side! I still can not find a voice recorder for voice calls like the 8180 and 8120 but heh, the 80meg built in memory is brill. Now all I am waiting for is the availablity to use my own java games, instead of paying 3 for them!

  • bought this today, and id damn gorgeous. It puts my old LG U8180 to shame... battery life is great for a 3g phone, slightly better than the U8180 imo. camera is also quiet good. And when i got it, i got a 256mb memory stick for free. so im loving it :)

  • even though this is on 3 in australia the outright price is 350 dollars which is the cheapest high-tech phone i mean look at v3 600 dollars and only 5mb with no recording video i can get a way better phone with video recording and flip for 199 dollars whats with that

  • This is phone has been available here in Denmark by 3 network since 2 months with two colors, silver and black.

  • Looks great. How many organiser entries does it permit? What is the freq range for MP3s? Does it allow distribution lists for SMS? Does the alarm work when phone is off? Video capture possible? what frame rate? Can we record conversations during a call?

  • just been in the "superdrug"store an seen the u880 its the best "lg"has made but its not going to get"lg" a good name because its only being released on the "3"network which is stupid if "lg"wants to get its phones recognized with the public they should let all the other networks release this mobile then there phones will get a good name

  • Yes it is available in australia but from what i have seen only the silver is available at the moment the pink and the two black versions i have not seen in any local 3 stores, i am thinking aboutybuying this handset and if u do by it today can you please answer some of the questions i posted previously because i am seriously considering this phone

  • its available in australia right now, im going to buy it tomorrow ^^

  • i was wondering because i had an lg u8138 before and i loved the phone but i sold it for three reasons, does the u880; 1.)support sending and reciving thru bluetooth(not only to headsets but toi other phones.) 2.) is there expandable memory and if this is t-flash wat is the biggest mem card size available at the moment in australia 3.) can u use mp3's as message /alert tones because i have a ringtone that i like to use as my msg tone and this is a major feature for me thanks in advance - geoffiez

  • its a good mobile phone but thats brand not make a good feel and need to change brand and symbol to anothet like toyota and lexus

  • Anyone who got an opinion about the camera? Is the camera as bad as the one in my Motorola e1000? In my opinion the camera in e1000 is worse or as bad as the VGA-cameras...

  • Does anybody know, if this phone will sync with an Apple OS X System or is the included Software Microsoft only??

  • here is sweden they write next to it (best in test) i am not sure about their measures ...is the camers a rotating one?i didnt like the video cals before from LG former phones its clours wern�t bright like if they were from a 70�s film!another minus is the batary life in comparison with SE

  • big??...ugly?? haha! well it aint big because its the slimmest recorded phone!! and it aint ugly!! lovin this phone!!!

  • I read about the guy with his new Nudie-jeans, if you lived here in sweden and own a sony ericsson you would have lots of problems to press down your mobile in your nudie-thight-pockets! (sweden rocks!) this phone is smaller than most of all!

  • Quality handset and very compact. I will defo be getting this handset when it is out in the UK!! Apparantly it will be available in Pink for the ladies too!!!!!

  • Its a great phone, i work for 3 and cant wait for this phone to be launched, great looks and amazing features, ill bet it will be a best seller.

  • Phone will be exclusive to 3. Will be available before Christmas in Australia and U.K, other countries i am not sure, but would think they should receive before x-mas also.

  • Looks cool enough and it's definitely my type! Does anyone know if it supports Windows Media Player and MSN Messenger? And if possible, can someone tell me which 3G phone allows both the access to Windows Media Player and MSN Messenger? I'm a rookie that needs help! If this phone comes out, I might buy! Love all the features...

  • phone will launched around november or christmas time

  • Hi About the video I can say that , it has a built in Video player & a camcorder too.U can view the video even in the sub-LCD(front display) & also listen to MP3. It has excellent features.
