Cons: Loud seaker distorts quite a bit; menu buttons hang - you press and there is a time delay; no zoom in camera/video mode - when shooting; noticed more drop outs over other phones.

Pros: Battery life is good, low SAR rating, sturdy hinge, ear speaker is nice and loud with good quality sound (as opposed to loud speaker which is the opposite). Overall an excellent phone. The cons I only consider as minor niggles - it is foremost a telephone after all.

There is a speakerphone...I thought there wasn't one till I pressed the top half of the silver button on the right side (with the dot on it).

Yeah Ash, I'm having exactly the same problem and I don't think I even GOT a disk with mine. I want to transfer photos and put some MP3s on but I just can't figure it out. Help anybody?

Can anyone tell me in very simple terms how to transfer pictures from my phone to my laptop. Have tried all of the downloads on the disc but to no avail.

Thanks

Being a fan of flip phones/clamshell phones, the LG U830 was a must have. I've had it for about 3 months so far and apart from looking really sleek, it has served me well.
My only gripes about this mobile include the fact that its battery life is horribly poor. I haven't tried the slim battery that came with it but the bigger battery only lasts for about 3 days just on stand by mode! Based on that, it’s not surprising that the box came with two different batteries. The other thing that I wasn’t too pleased about was the rather tinny sounding speaker. It's especially bad when the lid of the mobile is shut.
Overall, it's a good mobile and I'm happy with it.

Does anyone know how many songs this phone holds? I have one on layby but now im not sure cos i mainly wanted it for the mp3 player but if it doesn't hold at least one hundred songs then i guess it's not the phone for me.

this a horrible phone, like all of LG mobiles, they have great design but their softwares are slow and lag a lot, samsungs' software is 10x better. not to mention, it has so many bugs that it's hard to describe, battery life is poor

I actually disagree about this phone not being good. I got it from Verizon and works good, the charging works, the quality sound, and well everything seems good to me!

I think many people miss out the obvious, this is mainly a 3 phone and looking at past 3 phones there had not been one this slim and nice looking, they have always been bolky. Also many people say about it not having a memory card slot, i was put of this at fist but after having one i have many songs and many pictures and it still isnt full!.. the design is great, and the feaures are good.. you cant expect a phone to have every thing.. that is still to come.
