Using this phone as a service phone.
using firmware:
ACPU:A125.56.07
CCPU:C623.ROV

I must say the phone do work fine switches between 3G and 2G like a charm.
The only negative thing about it is that i feel the menu navigation is too unintuiative, and illogical, on a upside you can make your own shortcuts to just about any function.
Reception better then my old trustworthy Nokia 5110 on 2G, microphone sensitivity very good, speaker powerfull.

The most negative aspects i can find at the moment is that the original AC charger cable is angled making the connector insecure in its socket.

No good carkits aviable, i really would like a active carkit pref with the possibility of a external antenna to make incar reception better.

I would also have liked it if the service software covered the whole screen when activated, instead of 1/3 of it.

Overall i would say i give the phone a 8/10 with a + for versatility.

Whatever you do - don't use these phones. They look great, but are utterly hopeless at making or receiving calls. We had 5 for our business and they are all going back to 3 in exchange for LG phones that will hopefully work. Worst phone I've ever had to use.

Having attempted to use this phone for the last three months...my main problems living just north of london is the poor reception compared to other phones, the drop outs, extremely poor battery life (does not last more than a couple of conversations on the phone), the lockups. The phone camera, video, 3g features are ok

Dire phone. Avoid like the plague. Battery life on mine is only about 6 hours and thats with the extended battery! plus it crashes, wont hold networks, bluetooth is useless, and this is my third phone!

Don't be put off. The LG has a very limited memory and is not expandable.

New firmware upgrade to
A025_43_04_BBC_623_R06

Off to CPW again. Hey could be worse

UK here - Very pleased with phone generally tho drop outs a nuisance and 3G coverage issues. New technology I guess but would like more info on progress. Anyone tell me how to check my firmware in UK and what I should look for - an email would be most appreciated.

hello all, I bought my wonderful looking, stylish sexy e616 a few days ago.....oh dear, what have I done? I like to play games on my phone and thought the java capability was good, until I tried it. found a good website for games, www.logoland.nu, but my browser won't connect although the web site owner assures all that the games work fine. can anyone make a suggestion please. Also, I have a 'padlock' icon on the screen that even 3 seem unable to explain...can anyone here? I'm sure it's some kind of lock that's preventing me from using the URL Lookup facility. Trying to transfer any file to the phone using the pc software and I get a 'Database Locked' message...please help if your are able before I'm forced to send the bloody thing back!!!

Took my phone in for the firmware upgrade and its still really bad on the drop outs and 'cant connect, try later' messages. Just rang 3 though and they are sending me a replacement phone which has had the upgrade done correctly, as apparantly they feel this is the problem
So i hope to come back on here and say the phone is working great after this week. I really do love the phone and the plan im on so i really want this new handset to solve the problems i'm having.
