This is a very good phone for people looking to get some entartainment from their phones and don't want to pay too much. I really like the design and people who prefer dark tones for their phones should love the look. I really enjoy the phone myself as it offers a wide range of multimedia at the best possible price. When i was looking for a new phone I thought that a SonyEricsson would fit me best. But many people told me that i should look at the LGs. This was the first phone that i had a look at when I went for the first time to the shop and this phone caught my eye. All the shop assistants recommended it to me saying that it offers far more extras compared to a SonyEricsson at the same price. The battery battery which can stand up to 200 hours in standby. But if you use the phone all the time and play music and such things which drain battery power your battery may fall for just two days or even less! The other big disadvantage is it's camera. The back side of the phone looks like a digital camera and in the beginning i thought the camera would be one of the best advantages. But unfortunately the camera is only 1.3 MegaPixel which is not bad of course but for such a good phone it doesn't sound very nice.Still i am satisfied with the photo quality. But every other detail of this phone is eyecatching: 128Mb of free space which means you can always store data freely, built-in MP3 player so that you can listen to your music with CD quality(quite good) But when you connect the headphones, which are included in the package the sound quality changes dramaticly. For data transfers it has Bluetooth with a 50 metre range. You can always connect the phone to the computer via USB and it's complete with a 256K colour display. There are also around 30 polyphonic ringtones which i replaced myself with mp3s. Additionally, there is a MP3/Camera button on the right, which is the only additional button for the phone(i don't think any others are needed). Another slight disadvantage is that the phone doesn't support certain video formats such as .avi and picture formats as .gif. You may also be dissatisfied with the low intensity of the sound.
I would definetly reccomend the phone to every buyer seeking many multimedia options in one phone, which has very good abstractive design and a good low price. If the budget is high, you may consider buying a diffrent phone even though this one still a good choice. I would recommend this phone to people looking to get a very good phone complete with multimedia extras at a medium price.
