LG own samsung so its no copy...

however i think the battery life is v.poor.
i only make 4 x 10min calls a day(APPROX)
and i have to charge it every night !!!!!and i dont use the mp3 player or games ,im sure it would die after 2 tracks any way !
compared to nokia's which are the only phones ive ever used i was sadly shocked...

jim - go into the photo you want to send, look on the screen (left side) OPTIONS scroll down to send a message and there you have it. This phone is out to compete with D800 samsung phone a good 1, LG are still trying to improve there internal functions and they seem to be getting there. LG remember us businessmen need the currency converter to be simple (go back to the old way of converting currency) like your U8110 that was great. Over all your phones are great! ill stick with you as im on the 4th LG phone.

Hi Guys

This seems like a fab fone for the price! I've seen some of you (Darren I think) have stated that you can get hold of this for £150 sim free?! Could you please let me know where I can get it for that price? Many thanks for your help. Happy new year! Luv Diane

just got mine even after all your banter about it being a copy of the d500 but its miles better..the screen is phenominal and the camera and sound quality rather good..i had a k700 before and im impressed with the lg

and if i recall didnt u need some stupid external speaker on teh d500..this has it built in and pretty damn good too the qulity given the size of the speaker...

the only thing that bugs me about this phone is the fact i dont know how to take the time and date off the front of the wallpaper anyone know how? (and thats only a tiny niggle btw) i also got it sim free £150 and its brilliant value!

I/ve had this phone for about 3 weeks now. It's not the worst phone i've had but it's not the best eather. The Bat is dire had ti charge it twice in one day And didnt use it that much. Only cost me £150 sim free though so it's worth it's money. There is much better out there...

You guys are funny going on about copys the 1st ever slide phone was released in 2000 maybe even lat 1999 it was by Siemens (SL10) And was alsot the 1st phone to have a colour screen. Although it was red,yellow and blue pixels. So if anyone of these "Slide Phones" are original designs its Siemens.

I don't know why people think this is an exact copy of Samsung's D500, If you see the model name, it's obvious that this is part of the 'S' series; you can see some similarities with the S5100. Turn S5200 upside down, the shape becomes S5100. Just because its a slider and its black doens't mean its a rip off. If you see the Korean market, companies have quite the same size with similar form factors. Plus, these days, phone specs and capabilities are pretty much similar among companies, which results to identical size. I think this is a great design and definitely different from Samsung's D500.

You can hardly call Samsung innovators in design. The D500 was a direct copy of the Siemens SL55. Check out the Samsung D730 - it's so obviously influenced by the Motorola V600, V620 and V635. Just look at the keypad! Weren't Motorola the first to do the flip? I do like Samsung & LG but they are the phone equivalent of a Lexus - a lookalike packed with features to make up for the lack of design originality.

This phone IS almost identical to a D500. People on here are saying that it's better than a D500, that may be so, but if you think about it the D500 has been out for ages now and at that time it was released the D500 was the best. Now the D600 has been released with improved features which is 100 times better than this LG phone. If you have ever used an LG phone you would know that LG's and Samsung are very similar to use. I don't think this is a copy, but i do believe that the Samsungs are so much better.

Ok,so it's looks a bit like a samsung slider- and?Weren't siemens one of the first to pioneer the sliding form factor in the sl55,so samsung must have copied them huh?The same with the first clamshell phone,every manufacturer started churning them out,then the first camera phone,i could go on forever here,it's inevitable that other companies start bringing out phones that look and act like others...what's the bloody fuss about?
