my battery lasts for 4 hours on full charging.
i was just browsing through my phone which i bought today and i saw my battery level dropping after every min.
i have reduced my brightness to 10 %, disabled 3g, cleared ram, and i have not installed any applications.
This phone really sucks. My advice, dont buy this phone, you will regret.
it been hardly 6 hours that i bought this phone, and now i am thinking lumia 620 was better option.

@coachkropp
Thanks for the Answer
I meant by heavy duty, files and web browsing without hanging... or lags.

well, not much internal memory. if you root it, though, you can make micro SD into internal memory

When I bought it, I could not wait to open it I was like a little girl in the candy store. I did not have a sims card when I opened it but it can function with wifi if it is avaliable. the features are awesome. I got a good deal at Best Buy for $199.99+tax came out to $220. I love it!!!! I have a 2GB SD card and have a lot of memorary.

Can you access and listen to different radio stations on this phone? For example, in the US, we have AM and FM radio stations that play music, have talk shows, and have news broadcasts. And, from reading some of the postings, you cannot download any new apps to this phone, because of the preloaded apps? Thanks in advance for your help.

I wonder if LG locked up the bootloader to prevent people from turning this into a customized Nexus with a memory card slot and removable battery....lol.

I have brought LG optimus l9 P765 in INDIA on 7th mar 2013.The phone diplay is good,body is slim but the worse thing is its battery backup even though the lg has provided 2150mAh it took 2.5 hrs to recharge & to my horror with meagre work like browsing for half an hour & listening to music for one hour & receiving/doing calls of duration 30 min its battery lasted only for 12 hrs which is not possible with such battery capacity infsct all major brands smartphones give atleast 1-1.5 day backup also the music output from loudspeaker is not so good.

> In reply to ADI @ 2013-03-06 06:58 from vG@j - click to readYou will have to buy this model from USA. its not available in Asia. If you can, it will cost almost half of the price of the Grand in India.It has a sharper display than the grand and the S3 mini.
The Xolo 1000 seems to be of almost very close specs to this phone. However Xolo being an Indian company not sure of the service etc. i Don't have personal experience with Xolo. The service of LG and Samsung has been good for me till now.

I have this phone. For a basic and semi advanced user this fulfills all purposes. It has a 4GB internal memory(1.8 user accessible). Very thin, flat cool look. This is the american variant that runs on T-mobile micro-SIM (which can be unlocked for about 10$ to any network.).
This different from the Asian variant by the slightly smaller screen (4.5" vs 4.7"). However it makes up for the same by sporting a Corning Gorilla glass 2 vs ordinary glass screen. However I still use a scratch guard for addition safety.
It has the HSPA+ 4G band for 168mbps high speed internet.
It doesn't come with a gyroscope, but has an accurate accelerometer which will give you correct readings unless you are freefalling from a building or a crashing aircraft.
Battery seems good enough. overheating not too much, speed quite good, no lags. camera quality good, flash good.
The only major drawback i can find is that if it comes with a firmware of 10G or above it is very difficult to root (10e)is fine. However it may be rootable in the near future.
Overall for a price of a mere $200 in the US market, for a 4G phone you can't go wrong anyway.
