I got this phone for Christmas in 2009. So I've had it for about 17 months. When I first got it, it randomly froze when I was sending texts, and when I pressed the middle button right under the screen it would flash. It stopped freezing so much but then after a couple months the screen flashed all the time and the keys started to scratch and parts of them started to chip and fall off. Also, it randomly turns off. I have dropped this phone about a dozen times and no scratches on the screen but, lately my calls and texts have been delayed. I would not recommend this phone. It is defintley starting to show it's age.

Ii ordered this phone in 2009 when it first came out and have had it for 2 years. While the touch screen took some getting used to, the keyboard is awesome and just the right size. after 2 years of use, the slider still feels great and all the features of the phone work like new. It is also surprisingly durable as I've dropped it several times with no case on pavement and it still works great.

I have had this phone for about 8 months now and find it really great APART from the fool that put the web button RIGHT UNDER the 'A' button.... very annoying while txting when you hit the web button by mistake and end up going to the net instead.... word to the wise... move the web button! Other wise the keypad is brillant!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2011-02-06 14:54 from 258E - click to readMy parents got this phone (LG Xenon) for me for free, and I liked it for a little time, just because it was new. It's a different story now. Some things I dislike about it are:
--The screen gets really light and it's difficult to read.
--The phone randomly turns off and takes a while to turn back on.
--The phone freezes in the middle of sending a message.
--Awkwardly navigation.
--Can't save unlimited messages.
--Doesn't hold very many messages.
--Camera is blurry (may have something to do with the garbage screen),
--It takes me up to 7 times to send a single message.
--It takes me up to 5 times to make a call connect.

Some positive things include:
--The screen is hard to scratch.
--Bluetooth works well.
--The sliding motion is smooth and quiet.
--Charge time is fairly fast.
--Battery life is good.
--Occasionally, the multitasking capability comes in handy.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this phone. If you are going to spend money on a phone, do your research, and know what you want. Get a phone that will last. I am looking forward to getting a new one asap because this one is garbage.

You need to make the sound clip less than 400 kb i think in order to have it as a ringtone
