I like the look and features of this phone ie the keyboard combined with a touch phone,Java + movable widgets,but I'm disappointed that it has no wi-fi,GPS,and the video recording quality is terrible - it's jerky at 15 frames per second and warped as you move the camera around, it's not good at night pictures.
I'm also disappointed that LG has given little or no information over the past months and has not even provided an online manual on this phone! It looks like LG don't know their own product nor support them - what a shame for a big company! One word of advice, don't buy this phone from a home shopping catalogue - they are a bunch of rip-offs by overpricing goods! Also,don't spend too much on this phone as you can find better ones with more features for the same price!

Can I ask what the colour actually is for the orange pay as you go one? I see images everywhere of a blue and grey one, but the one on the orange site is silver and black (which i would prefer)

3G = battery eater!

ITS in new argos catalogue on t-mobile £129.99 and o2 £179.99 but in smallish letters it says due August.Its bang up to date and got java so tonnes of apps at getjar.com..It will basically do everything n97 will do really just bit less camera but it will read docs,,touchscreen,,slide out qwerty,,opera mini should install theres not much it wont do, plus micro usb and a2dp..Not bad for the price and altho not a smartfone it looks like one and is not lacking in anything and the highest speed going at 7.2 mbp/s hsdpa...getting it on o2 so have to pay bit more and keep checking argos for arrival..this fone looks more high tech the more i look at it,,cool...
