 Ditto on camera button September 1, 2010
Mark Mueller
I want to re-iterate the point make by a previous reviewer. You ought to be able to disable the camera button, but you cannot. It's really irritating. I feel that a simple phone should support people who want simple, clean functionality. When I want to make a phone call, I don't want to take pictures of my desk, the ground, etc.
On the plus side, I like that the cover on the USB connector seems sturdy and unlikely to be ripped off. The buttons are big -- easy to read, easy to press accurately.
Why do designers insist on "cool things" on a simple phone when what the users want is to be able to disable them when they get in the way?
Can't disable the camera button August 7, 2010
Mark M (Washington, DC)

Overall, this is a pretty decent basic phone. The battery life is reasonably good (although more on this below) and the sound quality is pretty good as well - nice and loud if you want or need it to be. The ringtones are limited and generally bad, but I don't care much about that. And there aren't many bells and whistles. Still, if you're looking for a phone that will make good quality calls that you won't have to charge often, this phone isn't a bad choice.
Except for the fact that the camera button on the outside of the phone is very sensitive. If it's "held down," even when the phone is closed, the camera is activated. If it is then "held down" further, the phone starts taking pictures. The big problem is that it's far to easy for the button to be inadvertently activated while the phone is in your pocket. Sometimes you can even hear it taking pictures as it sits in your pocket or bag. You then end up with hundreds of pictures of the black interior of your pocket. If you take pictures that you care about, this is really annoying as this can quickly fill up the memory and you have to delete all of the mistake pictures (not to hard if you "Mark all" when deleting and then unselect those that you want to keep - assuming you don't have many pics that you want to keep). And this can't be good for the battery life if the camera keeps flipping on.
This is a pretty silly design flaw. I'm not sure why one can't disable the camera, or at least disable the camera when the phone is closed (and believe me, I've searched all over the web for a way to do this). If you think that this would bother you, then don't get this phone as it will definitely happen. Perhaps you could get some sort of case that makes the camera button less prone to being triggered, but I don't want a camera case, I just want a simple little phone that I can put in my pocket that won't produce a portfolio of pictures of said pocket.
 Great phone for big hands July 17, 2010

I needed a "basic" phone with good sound and big dialing buttons & found all of these features in this phone! It's your basic run-of-the-mill phone,so I can't really say too much bad about it. I think it has great sound, great reception, & haven't had a problem messing up a phone number when dialing. Overall a really good phone. Only bad point is that the pictures you take with this phone can't be transfered via USB cable on to your PC. You have to e-text somebody with the picture included.
No USB drivers, poor audio June 27, 2010
A. Jacoby (New York, NY USA)

I have two big complaints, but it has a lot of nice qualities too.
First, the complaints: it has a decent camera, but no way to transfer pictures to your PC besides expensive picture messaging. If you're the type that wants to pay for picture messaging, you're probably not the type that's going to buy this phone. It has a USB cable and bluetooth, but doesn't support transferring pictures via either of them. So all the pictures you take are trapped on your phone.
My second complaint is the poor sound quality. Voices sound garbled. It's bad in both directions: I'm constantly asking people to repeat themselves, and they're asking me to do the same.
Things I like: the two screens, the small size, the loud speakerphone, the searchable address book, the configurable menus, and the included ringtones.
Overall, the phone has a nice look and feel. Now if only it sounded as good as it looked and the camera wasn't crippled by lack of transfer capability...
 Worst cell phone ever. Very quirky. June 16, 2010
R. Smith (MN United States)
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Do not buy this phone. It is a piece of junk. The finish mars so easily that it's alarming. It has more quirks than any other single device I have owned. It forgets my speed dials. Prompts me for my password then forgets I entered it and prompts me again. The manual is bad. There is no support on their web site. I will never own any other LG products after this disaster.
