LG GW525 Calisto Quad-Band GSM Cell Phone with QWERTY Slider Keypad, Full Touch Display, 3 MP Camera --International Version with Warranty (Orange) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did manage to configure the GW525 with full Internet and MMS functions on the AT&T network. You'll find those at the end of this review. Amazon won't show the username for the AT&T network or the URL for MMS, but those are really easy to find on Google.
The LG GW525 is an interesting little phone in that it doesn't look like it should have the capabilities it has. There's a lot of stuff packed into such a small, cheap and ultimately kiddy looking phone, which gives it a quirky appeal. Unfortunately its features are bogged down by a sluggish interface and functionalites and lackluster UI design.
To compare the GW525 with similar phones like the Samsung Impression for instance, the Impression is a superior phone by far, mainly because of its functionality, intuitiveness and speed. But the GW525 has some things to offer if you're willing to put up with a few nuances.
Pros:
Flexible texting and multimedia features:
The GW525 has feature rich photo and video editors. You can even insert photos into your video and you can export video scenes as photos. And when I say rich I mean you can select videos and photos, drop them into the movie editor with a title, credits, color grading and transitions with a soundtrack. The photo editor is equally good. With enough light the camera takes awesome vivid photos. In low light photos are soft, flat and grainy. Although you can adjust the exposure setting.
Threaded text messages:
This feature is great for keeping track of text conversations. Layout and design is nice and this is one of the phone's best features.
POP3 and IMAP support out the box:
You're able to configure unlimited pop3 and imap accounts including native support for Microsoft Exchange.
Full Address Support:
This is one my biggest peeves for cell phones. My friends have physical homes not just cells and email. So I always look for address books that support home addresses, businesses and websites and fortunately the GW525 supports this and more with business info, web info and birthdays and anniversary settings that automatically ask you if you want these events transferred to your calendar.
Support for Google, gmail, Youtube and Blogger. I use blogger so it's a nice plus.
Document Support: you can view PDFs, Word files, Excel files and Power Point presentations though on the small screen it's a bit of a chore.
So what's the bad?
The touch interface is slow and sluggish with plenty of lag. It can take up to 5 seconds to access your photos, videos and music and it can take as long as 1-3 seconds for the touchscreen to respond to a swipe if you're browsing photos for example. Most of the time though the touch screen response is adequate.
Screen real estate at 2.8 inches is way too small for what the phone can do. Many icons are simply too small to manipulate to the point of needing a stylus to get any consistent accuracy. If you want to add a photo to a contact for example, it's very easy to select the wrong photo while scrolling through your library. Then you have to just start the process all over again. Trying to select the scroll bar on the side is also hit and miss without a stylus.
The browser is a complete disaster. It does not have a dedicated button to call up the hidden browser like on the Impression for example. Touching the screen calls up the browser. So if you want to click a link, you'll call up the browser instead. It took a dozen tries to select the profile link on Facebook. Also the browser will confuse you wanting to scroll around the screen with resizing the page. A simple drag to scroll around the page will instead render your text so tiny it's unreadable. It does allow for tabbed browsing so I guess it's not a complete disaster.
No G3. When you try to view HD videos on youtube this limitation will be very apparent as it chokes on the higher bandwidth. SD video works fine.
This is an unlocked (though not unbranded) cell phone so it's pretty stripped down in terms of software. I never thought I'd miss the stuff AT&T forces you to take, but some things like IM integration (AIM, Yahoo!, Windows Live) I did actually miss.
LiveSquare features Avatars for people who call and text you. They hang out on one of two backgrounds (you can add your own though) and you can interact with these avatars (human or animal) to call or text your friends back, access their contact listing, etc. There is a wide variety of avatar choices though they don't really change all that much. Honestly this is a very gimmicky feature that mainly kids would like, but it is kinda cool.
I like the feel of the keys. Where the keys on the Impression feel sorta soft and mushy the keys on the GW525 are firm and snappy.
Sound quality is ok for calls but the audio for music sounds awesome. No audio jack though that's always a bummer.
I like the feel of the back of the phone. It feels almost like wetsuit material. So if you manage to drop the GW525 in water I believe there's a really good chance it'll survive.
Overall it's a decent phone. If LG increases the screen size to 3.2, optimize the OS so you lose the lag and get G3 working and this would be an awesome phone.
Phone calls and text will work as soon as you put your sim in. But we've got some work to do to get all the other functions up and running. You'll need to manually configure the GW525 for Internet Access, Streaming Access, Java Apps, MMS, and email. Unfortunately these are scattered all over the place but not to worry this will guide you through and get the phone up and running in a few minutes on the AT&T Network.
Touch the main menu button (4 dots in the square) touch settings and connectivity.
First you need to configure your access, so click Access Points and input the following data:
Add Access Point
Name it whatever you want
Bearer: GPRS
Authentication: PAP
Username: [...] (all caps)
Password: CINGULAR1
APN: wap.cingular
That's all done. Now go to Internet Profiles
Title: Whatever you want.
Use Proxy: ON
Proxy server address: 66.209.11.32 (you probably won't be able to enter letters)
(type in 66.209.011.32 and go back to delete the zero in front of the 11.32)
Proxy server port: 80
Access Point: Select the Access Point you just configured and save.
Now let's get the MMS working.
Click Messaging
Scroll to the bottom and click Settings
Click Multimedia message
Scroll to the bottom and click Multi msg centre
Click Add centre
Name it whatever you want
MMSC URL: [...]
Internet profile: Select the Internet profile you configured
Now let's get streaming working or sites like youtube won't work.
Click Connectvity
Go to: Streaming settings
Change the UDP ports to their minimum and maximum.
Internet profile: Select the Internet profile you created
Save
One more to go for when you download an alternative browser and other java apps otherwise they won't work
Connectivity:
Java settings
Profiles
Add Profile
Name it
Select the Internet profile you created

LG Venus - Cellular phone - CDMA2000 1X - slider - pink - Verizon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the LG Venus a few days after Thanksgiving (a little over a week ago). Initially I had purchased the LG Voyager after reading the reports on its features. Since this review is about the LG Venus, I'll just say I returned the Voyager after 12 hours and exchanged it with the LG Venus. I am very happy with my decision. This phone packs a huge amount of features in such a beautiful and small (but not too small) form factor. I was first impressed with the practicality of the dual screens on the front as many have noted. After tooling the previous day with the Voyagers lack of responsiveness with the touch screen I was instantly pleased with the Venus' ability to recognize my taps. There is no sensitivity control (nor does the Voyager) but after a few minutes you can quickly become accustomed to how it works. The best feature of the touch screen display's ability to adapt its menus prompts according to the action you are currently conducting. When you are using it as a phone the buttons for Mute, Speaker Phone etc are prominently displayed for touching. It's a huge step beyond the ubiquitous soft keys that Verizon phone depends on for many of its phones.
The number keypad is well constructed and tactile. There's no slipping or mistakenly pressing two buttons at once like I've noticed on some smooth face keypads. This is my first slider phone and I must say it was a quick transition from the standard flip phones and all the comfort of the old candy bar Motorola phone I had years ago. I like hanging up the phone by pressing the face closed against my leg instead of flipping it closed too. One vice I had with my old LG VX8100 phone was the VZW Texas Hold'm game I had purchased (note: not transferable, had to purchased again for new phone). I didn't realize not all Verizon phones were compatible with all the games. The Voyager didn't have the game as an option (guessing inside landscape screen made it incompatible). I was very happy to see IT WAS on the LG Venus.
The Venus includes a nice 2 mega pixel camera as stated, no flash (decent night vision mode though, bit blurry). Average pictures and the controls are very similar to basic point and shoot digital cameras. I haven't dabbled with the video yet, but I think its limited to 30 seconds. I would definitely suggest getting a Micro SD card. The on board memory is less than a gig and you'll need the card to load MP3's due to right management laws. It handles 8 gig, I opted for a basic 1 gig though. If you are looking to replace our Chocolate this might be a good option for you. Friends of mine have the Chocolate and complain about their cheek often bumps buttons while talking. In the week or so that I've had the phone, it's never been an issue with the touch screen. The vibrate and sound features are neat, I turned them off because the novelty wore off and I wanted to save battery. The battery runs as best as I'd expect. I'll probably have to charge it once or twice a week with normal use. Text messaging is relatively easy for a non-Qwerty. While texting, I like how you can change from Word (used to be called T9-Word) to Abc/ABC etc from the Touch screen instead of soft key though. If you are not happy with the fancy smancy new interface on the Venus the 'Display Themes' in the Settings window has 'Classic', which looks like the interface of the rest of Verizon's cell phones. I liked the Venus Color option.
One thing that surprised me was that I was able to make calendar events on the phone and bluetooth them to my Palm T|X. I didn't think they would be compatible. (Note: Palm T|X seems like GSM phones for dialing and can't get it to work on Verizon's CDMA system, oh well) I like having two devices, so as not to worry about a single battery failing and wiping out all my communication ability. The back of the phone is nice textured plastic instead of the normal smooth faux metal finish. Feels good in your hand and doesn't slide on the table like my old phone.
Good Features not mentioned above:
- The main screen (non-touch) allows for animated gif files like my old LG VC8100 did. Make you own animations in Fireworks etc, great for designers who like to customize or download animations you like from the web.
- The MicroSD/SDHC card slot is accessible without having to remove the battery or turning off the camera. Other phones aren't so lucky.
- No antenna for calling or using Verizon's EVDO mobile services (I didn't buy the ultra package, so I can't comment on those features)
- Elegant chrome frame and black finish, reminiscent of the iPhone, but not a blatant copy.
- The phones call quality and reception are just as you'd expect from Verizon. No dropped calls and I can hear the other person very clearly. (Located in Phoenix, other areas might differ).
- Surprisingly good sound quality from onboard speakers
Some Gripes:
It's minor, but I liked the old power plug on my LG VX8100 better. It was at the bottom of the phone so it was easy to find while driving and just click in the plug. This has a cap over the port (I guess you could snap it off) and it is located on the left side. Just a hair more difficult to manage than before. The navigation controls that appear when needed on the touch screen are nice but the BACK button located on the bottom right corner is bit too large for my thumb sometimes. I go for the Down arrow and end up hitting BACK by accident. It's happening far less often, but I am sure others will find it clumsy at first.
The camera has a longer than desired lag between pressing the button and the phone reacting. (the 'Say Cheese' audible voice option is cute though, my wife liked it).
The front screen is prone to finger prints as most devices of this nature, but it doesn't interfere with readability.
Directed to this phone and Verizon in general, no compatibility with web pages that contain Flash content. (I haven't tried internet browsing on my Venus, I use the Palm T|X for that functionality)
I haven't yet found the setting to remove the starting animation. It takes a couple of seconds to boot up. Hopefully after reading the manual I can find that setting.
I don't know of many (if any) phones that have FM radio, but that would be very nice thing to add to this already feature rich phone.
Headphone jack is non-standard for regular MP3 players style head phones. Adapter or special head phones required otherwise.Overall this is the best phone I have every owned from Verizon. If you are up on your contract for the 'New every 2' this is something to consider for the $100 off. There was a $50 mail-in rebate when I bought the phone that was nice. I'd suggest it to anyone that doesn't need a qwerty style phone and wants all the bells and whistles that Verizon has to offer.

Nokia 6205 Blue/Silver Phone (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I noticed that some of the problems people are reporting on other reviews here are things easily corrected if you read the user manual and change a few settings on the phone. The default settings on the phone do indeed suck, but the phone is great once you change it to how you want.
That being said, I love this phone! It should be noted, however, that I don't care for all the bells and whistles. I don't care to have a camera, and admittedly the camera on this is sub-par. I also don't care to have the internet, or speakerphone, etc., and the music player is just a fortunate plus. However, if you're looking for a simple phone with an easy to use interface that will allow you to make phone calls and text easily, then this phone is great. Battery life is great! I will agree that the plug for the charger is a little annoying...it's tiny and needs to be inserted just so.
Honestly, I think if you want a phone that "does it all" and does it all fantastically, you're going to pay a pretty penny for it, and that's just how it is. This isn't a bad phone by any means, but remember, you get what you pay for. If you want all the bells and whistles, this isn't the phone for you.

LG Arena GT950 Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First things first. The original LG Arena KM900 had Wifi. At&t, once again, has created a model specifically (GT950) to remove that feature. So if you want data, you're going to have to pay. Thanks AT&T.
Pros: Extremely beautiful screen, Flo TV works extremely well if you have decent reception, Good video performance (if you format the file correctly, multiple homescreens for different tasks. Built in FM transmitter.
Cons: Again no wifi, Screen is on the small side for an all touch phone (3 inches), If you've never used a virtual keyboard try in store first.
Besides the beautiful screen, there's really nothing to seperate this from any other feature phone on At&t's lineup. Overall the phone is solid, but doesn't really do anything spectacular.

LG Rumor 2 Prepaid Phone (Virgin Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After suffering for ten months with AT&T's lousy service and rude support staff, I terminated my contract early and jumped on the pre-paid bandwagon. I was accustomed to having a feature-rich phone (an HTC Fuze with unlimited data) so I began preparing myself for the humble amenities of a no-contract plan. Much to my surprise, I have found the LG Rumor2 is a quite capable phone. The QWERTY keyboard is responsive, laid out very well, and easy to use. If you're going to text often, this phone is built for the task. Call quality is decent, though I've only tested it through the handset speaker and not on a headset. I was even mildly impressed by the Rumor2's camera (1.3 megapixel) which took some e-mail quality shots. LG has constructed a lightweight but sturdy phone which won't rip a hole in your pocket.
Above all that, however, this phone has several applications which have impressive capabilities. The built-in Opera Mini browser delivers a respectable mobile web browsing experience. Despite the Rumor2's small screen, you can still see what you need to see on most websites. Google Maps is also included and is highly functional on this unit. There's even the option to purchase a GPS navigation program (runs $9.95 per month) that further expands its versatility. Along with all those features, you can insert a microSD card and listen to mp3s with the Rumor's on-board media player. If that's not enough functionality, the free Mail+IM app is incredibly useful for staying connected. As a user who stubbornly clung to Windows Mobile for over three years, I'm quickly learning that you don't need a $600 SmartPhone and $40 data plan to communicate.
Virgin Mobile's plans are highly configurable to whatever types of services you use most. I'm getting a basic voice plan, 1000 messages, and a generous data bundle all for $40 per month. I was paying $80 per month for similar services from AT&T on my contract phone.
My only real complaint is the small screen. The Rumor2 has a sharp, bright display but there's just not enough of it. That said, you'll have few problems texting, emailing, Facebooking, web-surfing, or playing games on the tiny LCD. This phone really does everything you'd need a cell phone to do.

LG Optimus T Android Phone, Burgundy (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Price
I bought this phone as an upgrade on my plan. At the time, I got it for $27- which was a steal.
Quality
It is well put together with a case that is rubberized plastic.
Simplicity
The button layout is simple with only 4 buttons on the face, plus the power and volume buttons on the side. The screen is easy to figure out.
Operating system
The phone uses google's android system, which is great and allows you to sync your google account with your phone, which is a great feature for importing your contacts. You also get the benefit of google's android market (which is similar to the apple app store).
Hardware feature
Another thing that I really love about this phone is that you can set it up to be a wireless hotspot, which is better than tethering your phone to your computer via USB.
Battery
I go all day without having to charge, even when I use the internet and navigation. The only time I have power issues is when I sit around playing games for extended periods of time, and even then, I can still make it through the day.
Data entry
I had really wanted another phone with a slide out keyboard, but I ultimately made the sacrifice and went with this phone instead. I am getting used to typing on a touch keyboard, though I still prefer the real thing. I also like the swipe feature where you swipe your finger over all the letters in a word and the phone recognizes the pattern.

Learn More Swype Keyboard
An alternative to the Android virtual keyboard, the Swype virtual keyboard (seen at the right) allows you to input text by swiping the finger with one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard. Based on testing, speed and accuracy are equal to or better than the traditional keyboard-tapping method. You can activate the Swype keyboard by pressing and holding in a text field, wait for popup to appear, click Input Method, and then select Swype.

In the image to the left, the word "quick" was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A key advantage to Swype is that there is no need to be very accurate, enabling very rapid text entry.

LG Rumor Touch Phone, Red (Sprint) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This phone is fantasstic! I love the customoization that is possible with this phone. Great phone for not requiring a data plan. Another reason I liked it. It probably has its little quirks that some may find irritating. But I find it a huge improvement over my last phone. My last phone froze frequently, the buttons were loud when i clicked them and the opening of the screen clicked. It was very aggravating... and I just am very please with this phone. My old phone i had for not even a year and I could no longer stand it, this phone i will be keeping for the length of my contract. Overall fantastic. The color options are also very nice. I generally good phone for a person who calls, texts and enjoys messing with fun features.

LG GX500 Dual Sim Unlocked GSM Cell Phone with 3 MP Camera, Touchscreen, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, MicroSD Memory Card Slot--International Version with No US Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi I received this phone.
First I want to refer to the portoguese Instruction Manual.
I received mine with a very good and extensive Instruction Manual in English and Chinese.
So no problem what so ever there.
About the back being of a plastic material .... Truth.
But the only time I opened the phone was to insert the 2 sims (different providers)
So it does not matter at all. maybe even better as for the total weight.
I bought this phone as I have lost my money with the previous one I purchased, which was the CECT Airphone 4.
This LG is so much better then the CECT Airphone 4. Which was a disaster.
Going to change my review on that one.
The LG GX500 is 100% to my liking. The picture quality is ok, not moving objects. And with good lichting.
The MP3 sound is exceptional good. The FM-Radio is perfect. I use 2 SIMS and it works flawlessly.
Serving the internet is not as fast as on a PC (ofcourse) but is good enough for me to check my mail or need to google something. Not for extensive web serving of course. Maybe the more expensive models?
The most important thing of course is the phone. The sound of both sims are perfect.
And dialing is as it must be.
I have not found one fault with this phone after using it for 6 weeks now. But again I have to say, with the experience I had with the Airphone 4, this is just so good.
This time I took more time experimenting with the phone before posting a review. So it get the full 5 stars.

LG KP500 Cookie Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera and Digital Media Player--International Version with Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I travel frequently back to the UK so this phone works great for me. It is quad-band and GSM phone which means it has a removable sim card that I can use a pay as you go sim card when I go back to the UK, and then switch it back while back in the US. Unfortunately your limited to AT&T or T-Mobile in the US as the other carriers don't use GSM phones, not sure why?. The phone itself which I bought in the UK has an adapter for 110/220v for charging in other countries which is a nice touch from LG (I once fried a US adapter by plugging it into a UK socket, duh!). It comes with a screen protector and the casing feels nice and not too cheap. The touch screen itself is bright and easy to navigate and the inclusion of a stylus that fits in the base of the phone makes it very handy when texting. The phone houses a slot for a micro SD card up to 8gb, which is ample for mp3's and photo's or video's. I don't like that you have to use the supplied headphones in order to listen to music as they aren't that good and would have preferred the ability to use third party phones.
Camera quality isn't that great, but like most phone cameras the quality is grainy, I only use it rarely as I have a good quality digital camera for that. Overall it's a great little phone that is considerably cheaper and less bulkier than the i phone. And if you need accessories then eBay is the place to go, I picked up a great leather case that fits perfectly, and a car charger. I have had the phone now for 7 months and am pleased with it so far.
Update: I recently flashed the phones firmware to the latest version which is V10n and the phone is so much better.
The touch screen works a lot better than before and the slide bar can now be used without having to press hard.
The firmware install is a little tricky and can only be done on a windows operating system, but is well worth the time as the phone's performance is so much better. Do a search for KP 500 firmware v10n update.

Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

Phone Features The Cookie's large 3-inch touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels, 256K colors) provides an optimized interface for all forms of multimedia content, and its rotating display automatically shifts from narrow to wide mode and vice versa according to the contents and your position. The large screen size and excellent color depth make it ideal for watching movies, taking pictures, browsing the Internet, and creating and editing drawings and documents. The Home screen menu from LG's Flash user interface (UI) provides quick access to your calendar, alarm clock and digital audio player. The optimized QWERTY keyboard, which automatically comes out when the screen is in wide display mode, enables fast and easy input for email and text-messaging.

With the Cookie's handwriting recognition, you can write and draw on messages or background pictures taken with the phone's camera, as well as send text messages without even using the virtual keyboard. It's also great for realistic gameplay thanks to the embedded motion sensor technology, which recognizes your hand movements and reflects them in the game itself.

The Cookie includes a small 48 MB internal memory, which can be expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards up to 8 GB in size. The internal phonebook can store up to 1000 contact entries (each with 15 fields for storing multiple numbers, email addresses, IM handles, and more), as well as up to 500 text messages, 500 memos, and 500 to-do items. It also features support for caller groups and picture/ringer ID, display of the 40 most recent dialed/received/missed calls, and compatibility with both MP3 and polyphonic (64-chord) ringtones.

This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR)--which makes pairing with any Bluetooth device a snap. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible devices.

The 3.2-megapixel camera offers six resolution options (320x240 / 400x240 / 640x480 / 1280x960 / 1600x1200 / 2048x1536) as well as a 2x digital zoom. Other features include night mode capabilities for low-light situations, white balance and brightness adjustments, continuous shot capabilities (3, 6, or 9), three quality options, color effects, a self-timer, and in-phone image editing. In addition to still photos, the Cookie can capture video clips in two resolution options (176x144 / 320x240, 12 fps).

The digital media player offers wide compatibility for audio (MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, RA) and video (MPEG4/H.263), and it features equalizer pre-sets (Classic, jazz, Pop, Rock, Concert hall). It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).

3 X Sets of Clear Screen Protector Film Guard for Lg Cosmos Touch Vn270 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are very nicely put together and individually packaged, with easy to use tabs on each screen to make putting them on a snap. Also, each package comes with a cleaning towel so you don't have to keep track of them between use. These were for my husband though, and he uses his phone in very extreme work situations. They have done well, but with such heavy use the edges start to peel up quickly. Not sure if this would be the case in normal use though.
