Excellent phone - my first LG and very impressed with it.
Pros
Very good call quality.
Excellent display - bright and clear.
Camera excellent even in low light.
MP3 player very good. You can use your own earphones with the handsfree as there is a standard connector.
Good battery life.
Very solid build quality and nice feel in the hand.
Nice positive keypad with decent size keys.
There are some handy conversion utilities and the calculator function is particularly good.
Touchpad very easy to use after a bit of practice.
Cons
Fingerprint magnet
Not really suitable for one handed texting as the phone is a bit top heavy with the slide open
You need to buy a micro SD card to store music and photos - but these are very cheap
I'm very happy with this phone and highly recommend it.

I like the look of this phone...But one thing Im not so sure about is how the touch pad lights up with arrows every which way when you use it..does anyone know if you can turn that feature off, as I imagine it could become very annoying.

nice phone overall.
i have to admit it looks better real life than the pics. this phone has the greatest grip hands down compared to so many phones these days looking and feeling like a toy. this is a REAL phone.
but lg, please! please do something with your software! what good are all these features if we can't use them??? these manufacturers gotta figure out a way to make better software solutions to support these nice phones!

I bought this phone last week. Thought it was good although the touch sensitive keypad takes a bit of getting used to and texting one-handed is difficult because of the position of the keys.
Slightly irritated that the USB cable is not a standard size but their own connector - why do they do this? oh, that'd be to make more money off you when you lose it.
But.... the music player didn't work - got something labelled 'building error' after the first attempt. So i sent it back, got a replacement today, and it stripped all the album, artist and genre tags off and has no way of sorting the music. I'm sending it back.
Two phones, and the software for the music player doesn't work in either. I would avoid this phone.

Please can anyone help me my old sony is dying and I need a new phone. Looking at the spec I wanted to know if the LG has any picture frames like a photo editor? also can you store addresses and email adresses in the phonebook? does it have a calender?
It looks a nice phone but i want to see if it has a stop watch, task lists oh and alarms too?
your help would be appreciated!

I recently bought this phone unlocked. I am trying to figure out the MMS settings for the AT&T U.S. network. It asks me for a proxy IP and lists 000.000.000.000 as the default. What do I use for the IP? Strangly it does not ask for username or pw which would be like CINGULAR1 etc.. Anyone know how to configure this? Help is appreciated, thanks.

Seriously cool phone, no argument there.
BUT,
I have 2 problems with it:
1 - It seems to go slower when touch-vibrate is activated.
2 - After I tried to use my new 4GB MicroSD filled with music (which is supported and working in my phone) my built-in mp3 player broke after I interrupted it while loading!!! Now it says: "Building Error" every time I try to start it.
Taking it to the repair store tomorrow for a fix.
For the rest this phone is freakin' awesome and I have no regret getting it with my 1 year contract.

Well i bought this phone and i say this. LG have improved. Great build sexy looks fantastic camera amazing signal quality and call quality great screen very easy to use touch keys great stroking your finger fast across it whilst web browsing great radio too. BUT. My phone switched itself off 6 times whilst browsing the net and camera freezes sometimes whilst taking pictures. I returned it.

Does this site look trustworthy to buy from? It is cheaper here so I am doubtful if it is legit or not.

This phone is released in the U.K. You can purchase it on ebay and some sellers will include a North American charger for free. As to the North American market, I got fed up waiting for its release. Fantastic phone!

don't hold ur breath for the 850 triband for america. the original ke850 prada phone was also supposed to include an 850 band for america. so much for that phone. the new ke990 is also supposed to have an 850 band version for america. we'll see. personally, i've given up on lg and samsung phones for america because they're all triband everywhere else so screw them. i'm actually kind of happy with nokia, though their phones are a little bit bigger. but it includes some great features.
