If, like me, you are a scrooge and fancy saving a few pennies on a contract phone per month and have always been spoilt by Nokia handsets that work first time every time then the Renoir will be a HUGE let down.,
It is the worst most badly thought out gimmick of a phone I have ever had the misery to own.
Mind drainingly slow interface that works sometimes and sometimes goes into "random launch any app" mode. It is soooooo sllllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwww.
Crap widgets that can't be modified or added to... what's the point of those, then?
Locked to Three in the UK this phone is about as interesting as a stale pile of dog poo. You can't change anything, LG don't support Three in the UK so the crappy buggy firmware you get when you buy is yours .... FOR LIFE, no possibility of an update this side of hell freezing over.
Google maps is about three iterations out of date (and it shows) but you can't update it. The default games are crappy demos that, again, you can't manage (i.e. delete to free up memory).
GPS receiver is allegedly stand alone - but it isn't and always needs a network to operate - piss poor if you are overseas.....
You Tube is locked to 3 streaming so you can't use it in poor coverage (with Three that's pretty much anywhere)... or on Wifi.
Do I need to go on?
Stay clear..... cheap nasty little phone that promises so much a delivers bugger all...
Still on the upside the appallingly bad English in the LG software is good for a chuckle or two and their error messaging gives Windows a run for it's money in terms of crypticness........
