Evening all. I recently got a HTC Wildfire on contract, but wasn't massively impressed with it, so I decided to sell it and get something a bit cheaper. With a friend's wedding coming up, I wanted something with a decent camera. With that in mind, and a budget of £100, it was a toss up between the Sony Ericsson Elm, Samsung S5560, and the Viewty Snap. I must say, a week later, I'm not disappointed.
The camera is superb, as is the mp3 player (which I am using with my gourmet Sony earphones), and for £79 I really don't think you can't go wrong. I got mine from Carphone Warehouse, who are currently offering a discount on memory cards when purchased with a phone. So I was offered a 4gb memory card for £10.99, an offer that I was happy to take advantage of.
I'll be honest, the phone isn't perfect. Although in general, I am very happy with it, the only areas which I feel let it down are the internet and the casing. No 3G or wi-fi make the download speeds pretty average, so I wouldn't advise you to consider this handset if you're a prolific downloader. having said that, it's perfectly adequate for browsing facebook, BBC sports, hotmail and so on. Couple this with the fact that Opera 5 is pre-installed, and most casual browsers will be fine.
The other niggling issue that worries me slightly is the chrome-effect plastic trim adorning the edges, and the top and bottom of the phone. Although mine hasn't shown any marks yet, I'm pretty confident that this would scratch very easily, particularly if you chucked it in a bag, or kept it in the same pocket as your house keys, or loose change. So if like me, you're slightly anal about scratches, I would definitely recommend getting hold of a nice soft case.
Overall however, I'm very happy. The touch screen, despite being resistive, is very responsive, and texting is absolutely fine. I listen to music all day at work, although I do have the USB cable plugged into my work PC to keep the battery going. Call quality is second to none, and the handset looks and feels great in your hand. I have seen a few negative reviews, but in all fairness, I can't agree that they're justified at all. Just keep in mind that the people who usually review this phone are probably used to using iPhones and other upmarket handsets. If you're used to budget and mass market phones, believe me, you won't be disappointed.

Final wordings for LG- with the todays market, LG WHICH IS THE 3rd brand is very incomplete product with comparing to samsung. because LG S all handsets are missing somethng n something in every level frm low to high end somewhere it missing the torchlights somewhere mp3 grade ringtones,and somewhere dual speakers for LOW END PHONES. WHEN WE COMES TO MID RANGE PHONES again LG IS missing something, like somewhere dual sim card,somewhere poor type of slow user interface.somewhere accessaries and finishing. and in the higher range with tuch phones it dont carrys the current market thinking like all the high end phones have very cheap type of accessaries, somewhere missing 3G some where videocall camera, somewhere wi fi connectivity, somewhere browser connectivity.somewhere battery powers. it means when i compare this product with samsung I FOUND it is a missing product.ACCORDING TO INDIAN MAINTAILITY, IF Lg will do something with this wodings of mine LG CAN MAKE its positions strong in INDIAN MARKET.OTHERWISE.......................................................................... BEST OF LUCK.
