Actually the more I use this phone the more I love it (is has had me fingers all tangled up when texting as I'm used to a samsung) but here are my comments..
1. The software running on my laptop worked fine for me, a bit quirky but I got there... updated all me contacts from me old phone. But in my view very limited on what the software can actually do.
2. But after I did this I cannot switch the phone off, not such a big deal you might think but clearly this is dangerous to aircraft navigation when flying. When you switch off it goes through the motions, then hey presto back on again 10 seconds later.
3. Its a video phone right.. so why is the Video Picture Blocked by default, I wasted a few costly calls to my ugly mate bfore I could figure out what was happenening!... only then to be reminded that he was still ugly!
4. What does the phone do to mp3s as once theve been uploaded from me pc for ring tones, when you try to download them again they dont play in say MS Media Player.. wierd as I get similar problems with jpg images.
Can anyone help with the On/Off thing?
Cheers
Shawn

How does the "Auto update date/time" function work on the handset, does it have to be connected to a pc via a usb cable? Or is it over the air from 3? Another question, when i goto Handset information it displays my old 3 number rather than me newly ported number from O2? How can I change this? Thanks

this phone is highly functional. only problem is with the PC software that comes with it, it always hangs at the end and causes the phone 2 crash. any1 kno where i can get updated software or firmware for this phone??? tried the LG website and it seems that they dont even kno that they released this phone.

I might just be being daft, but can anyone tell me how to upload mp3's from my computer (xp home)to the phone. the software with the phone only allows transfer of contact details and calender etc.

I found that if I connect the hands free headphones to the phone before I connect to Phone Manager, then when I disconnect with the headphones still in place it doesn't hang! If anyone can find another solution to this, please let me know. Thanks

The PC connection bundle causes the phone to freeze on disconnection. so far as i know, this happens everytime to everyone. you can't download games or videos from the internet (as far as i know). memory is low if you want to have loads of tunes, but use an .mp3 to .3pg converter to make the files a LOT smaller (though less quality). apart from that i think the phone is excellent and can recommend it. if buying from the UK try the e2.save website, it had the best deal when i bought.

When I have finished using LG Phone Manager, I click disconnect and my phone hangs. Says something like "Syncronisation finished". The only thing i can do is turn the handset off then back on. I'm running the LG Phone Manager on windows XP. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

This phone is great, but has some ordinary features. The camera and video stuff ic cool, as is the internal software, etc. Of course, I have gripes as listed below.
The included software is Windows only, so sorry Mac users, you can't even transfer files using USB to a Mac - pretty ordinary. Had LG included removeable storage, this should not have been a problem.
The included software is OK, but the file transfer stuff is stupidly complex and not intuitive. You must exit all applications on the phone or it plain wont connect. You must use the Phone Manager as described by James below, and manually navigate to what you want to transfer. Dragging files to your PC deletes them from the phone (it should copy them), right-click and drag let's Windows copy them rather than just move them. When you connect the phone, it should automatically show the content and a button to sync with the PC PIM (haven't these guys used a Palm???)
Overall a great phone but with some annoying drawbacks - 7/10

Here's the answer to the PC connection problems everyone's having. Go to LG Phone Manager, click contents, select Transfer menu, select Set Com Port, then click the USB option. For some reason it defaults to IRDA and will keep going back to that setting. Then, you should find a COM port in the COM port list with an asterisk - and that's the one you need to select. NOTE: This is SEPARATE from selecting the COM port in the synchronisation manager. You need to do it in the LG Phone Manager. Really poor implementation, but there you go, that's how it's done.
