A camera flash is located just above this display. The camera unit is located at the top of the phone case and features a unique swiveling design, making it possible to capture self portraits with ease.

Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's blue backlit control pad, which features adjustable brightness. Meanwhile, the top right side of the unit houses an antenna while the USB-capable data and charging port is housed on the unit's bottom edge. There's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets on the left side of the handset.

There's also support for three-way conference calling support. The speed dialing feature allows you to dial up to 99 numbers virtually instantaneously. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear and the VX7000's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The VX7000 features cutting edge support for mobile-to-email video messaging, which allows you to send video clips captured by the phone to email accounts using Apple's Quicktime video codec. Instant messaging, as well as MMS messages that can contain text and pictures, are also supported. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the VX7000, as well.

The VX7000's video department allows it to capture up to 31 15-second video clips in Quicktime format.

Amazon.com Hands-On Review

In 2004 Verizon introduced their EV-DO 3G data business services to select markets in the US.Months later at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show, they finally rolled out their first 3G consumer offering, named VCAST.For $15 per month, Verizon's VCAST service offers an unlimited number of streaming video clip downloads over their high-speed EV-DO network.The user gets access to daily updated content from news organizations such as CNN, CNBC, and ESPN as well as entertainment content from the likes of Comedy Central and others.If you live in one of the markets covered by their EV-DO 3G service, then you can get this on your mobile phone.

Click image to see full-size photo shot with manually set white balance and the normal lens setting.

Of course, you need an EV-DO cell phone such as the LG VX8000 to view VCAST content.The VX8000 was the first handset to be launched with the VCAST service, and was the star of Verizon's VCAST launch event.It is a somewhat large clamshell handset that comes equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera with a macro lens setting for close-up photography.The camera takes photos that range anywhere from decent to very good in quality, depending on lighting conditions and settings (try out the manual White Balance settings).The VX8000 can also record 14 second long video clips that are also typically quite nice.Photos and videos can be painlessly uploaded to Verizon's PixPlace website, though the photos will be greatly reduced in resolution, or they can be easily sent to any internet email address.Sending a photo to an email address is the only way to get a full resolution 1.3 megapixel photo off of the VX8000, since it has no IR, Bluetooth, or data cable.

The photos and videos you take will look great on the VX8000, thanks to its dual 262k color displays.The main 2.2" display is very colorful and clear, and the unusually large 128x160 pixel external display is equally nice.The external display serves as the camera's viewfinder when you have the phone closed, allowing you to record perfectly centered photos and video clips of yourself.The controls under the display and the volume rocker allow you to navigate through your photos with the phone closed, which is handy.

The VX8000 has a very well laid out keypad, with large buttons that are as easy to read as to use.The 5-way directional-pad controller is also large, and has a nice big OK button in the middle for selecting things in the VX8000's menus.The user interface is consistent and simple to use, but has some organizational issues thanks to Verizon's desire to drive people towards their Get It Now download services (which typically costs extra).In their defense,Verizon does offer a wide selection of ringtones from various partners, and has some of the best 3D games I have seen on a mobile phone to date.

As far as doing normal phone things go, the VX8000 has pretty good reception, decent audio quality, and a simply fantastic speakerphone.The speakerphone is probably the best I have ever tested.Battery life is probably going to be an issue for most people, though. 4.5 hours of talk time is decent, but the standby time is rarely much more than two days with no calls being made, and that is unacceptable.Best to opt for the extended battery, which will provide 50% more power.

The VX8000 is a solid phone.Verizon's VCAST service will provide you with timely news and some entertainment, but might be a bit expensive for most people at this time - though it is sure to get cheaper eventually.The VX8000's camera is very nice, as are its dual displays.If nothing else, the VX8000 will let you be the first kid on the block with a 3G phone.

Pros:

• 3G Service
• Nice 1.3 megapixel camera
• Dual 262k color displays

Cons:

• Bulky
• Short standby battery life

What's in the Box:
VX8000 handset, standard lithium-polymer battery, home charger, stereo headset.

I know it is my fault, but this phone is HUGE
I knew when I looked at the sheer enormity of this phone on Feb 1st, the day it came out, that this phone was too big. I bought it though, because I had been reading about how great it was going to be for several months. I had the LG 6000 and loved it, it made me a convert from my many years as a devout Motorola disciple. I loved my vx6000, great phone, simple but great. Then I became intrigued by the camera in this phone and the EVDO capability. Well that lasted about a week. VCAST is great if you love watching things on a 2" screen. I personally found it to be a nice gimmick, but with little practical value. The web browser was nice and easy to use, but personally it doesn't really excite me. Now for the phone itself, the camera takes nice pictures, the phone gets good reception. The bad parts, is I believe the phone is feeding itself, because it seems to get bigger everyday. It is just a brick compared to my previous phones (Moto V60, LG VX6000). Take this into consideration when buying, I know that VZW's selection of phones leave something to be desired, but it may be worth waiting it out a little longer, than being anchored down by this phone.

P.S. The battery is getting worse daily. I was careful to properly charge and discharge the battery correctly when I first got the phone. It seems like I am running out of battery now almost daily.

The only phone better isn't out yet
I've been selling wireless phones for about five years and remember when LG first became competitive.I made it a point to let every customer interested in an LG phone that I would not be held responsible for anything they encounter.LG simply left a bad taste in my mouth.

Then they came out with thLG 6000 and then the 6100.I started to notice LG Phones became more popular and reliable.I then turned my skepticism of a solid phone to the Audiovox phones (and Kyocera phones).

I got hired at VerizonWireless and started playing with the LG8000.Why not, I asked, and purchased it to see what they hype was and if I could get the memories out my mind...

This phone has everything, but the Bluetooth I wanted.The VCast feature is unmatched by any other carrier.Never really one for all the bells and whistles, I find myself checking out the latest news and sports from my handset with video instead of reading text from the traditional mobile web sites.I missed having a speaker phone from my Sanyo days.LG8000's speaker is actually a lot better than I thought it would be.Pretty loud and clear.

The DSL connection makes IMing from the phone a breeze.No one realizes I'm IMing from a cell phone.I IM with MSN, AOL and Yahoo.The menu, something LG was been terrible at, is extremely user-friendly and too easy to learn.

The feature I like most about the phone is being able to answer the phone while wearing an earpiece without having to open the phone, press send, then close it.INstead, I press a button below the huge external display.I end my calls like that too.I read my text messages from the huge external display.

For those into camera phones, the 1.3Meg camera is crisp.And the macro feature allows me to take pictures of extremely small details, like the writing on a coin, without it being blurry.

I could go on and on, but you just have to go check it out yourself.The only phone I can think of that even competes at this level (and no, the Razr has nothing on this phone) is the LG8100 which isn't out yet.Only because it has Bluetooth.

If you're serious about having a solid phone that's easy to use, has big numbers to make it easy to dial compared to some of these phones with tiny buttons, a huge external display that is interactive and the streamline video that is crisp, this is the only phone available.

A great phone for now
I switched to LG phones from being a long-time Nokia user because I wanted a flip phone and all of LG's phones seem to offer so many more options, and picked up the VX8000 because it's currently the best LG has to offer.Fortunately, I was not disappointed.While this phone does have some flaws, it has proven to be the best cell phone I've ever owned.

Reception - After two months I have never had a dropped call or poor reception, ever.I've never even had to extend the antenna.I didn't receive too many dropped calls with my Nokia, but with Suncom, there were several "dead" areas in my city where my phone just wouldn't work.I haven't found one yet with Verizon.

Features - This phone has just about every feature you could want.The contact list is extensive and holds 500 names.It provides one entry per name, and within that entry you can assign two mobile numbers, two emails, and a work and home number.You can also assign picture and ringer ID by caller.It would have been nice to have a space for notes such as being able to store an address for contacts but this isn't available. Pressing the SEND button brings up a list of recent calls, and shows all calls received, missed, and dialed, so no more clicking on "call log" then selecting "dialed calls" etc.The recent call list clearly shows the type of call.I find this very convenient.

Alarm - The phone has an alarm that is integrated with the calendar.The alarm is great because you can set a recurring alarm by day. You can set a weekly alarm that will go off Mon-Fri, and then set a separate alarm for the weekends, and never have to set it again. With my old phone, I had to set the alarm every night.The only problem is there is no snooze feature, which would have been nice.You can also set an alarm to go off every Third Tuesday of the month if you want.

Camera - I didn't really want a camera phone at first, but I find that I really enjoy mine.This phone comes with a 1.3 Mega pixel camera, which is the highest resolution currently available.This thing takes incredible pictures for a camera phone.You canincrease the resolution all the way to 1280x960, which are huge pictures.Outdoor shots look great even at that resolution. Night shots don't look nearly as good.The phone comes with a built in flash, but it's just not powerful enough to take shots in dark areas such as a bar.Pictures come out grainy and out of focus.The camera does have numerous built in settings you can change for night mode and to adjust the gamma and brightness, so it's possible I just don't have it configured right.But if you're looking for a phone with a good camera, this is the way to go. An additional problem though is that it's very hard to take a good self-shot.Trying to photograph yourself while holding the phone shows a full-resolution picture on the front LCD, but it is hard to hold the camera far enough away to get a good shot. I haven't really found a good use for the video camera other than novelty since it only captures 15 seconds, but the quality also appears great.

Ease of use - One of the best qualities of this phone is how convenient everything is.There is a beautiful full color LCD on the front of the phone to show calls without having to open the flip.You can also turn on the flash from a side button, activate voice dialing and the camera from convenient buttons on the side.Vibrate mode and the speaker phone are very easy to turn on by holding down a button on the phone, and adjusting the phone to silent or vibrate mode takes less than a couple seconds. Most of the phone's features can be activated by simply 1-button shortcuts, and I rarely have to navigate through menus to reach any of the more important features.

Extras - The ring tones that come with the phone are fairly limited, but sound great.The speaker on this phone is also the best I've ever heard.There is no need for a car adapter kit, since you can simply turn on the speaker phone and put the phone in the seat beside you.No one can ever tell when I'm talking to them on speaker and you can turn up the volume so high it sounds like they're sitting next to you.

I definitely recommend the web access for $5 a month.It's hard to navigate sites that aren't designed for mobile phones, but the screen is so huge that Verizon's built in web access comes out great.They have all of the top stories and built in areas to access Yahoo and AOL mail.The phone comes with no built in games, which would have been nice, but you can download some from Verizon for around $6-$10.The quality rivals a Game boy, although the controls on most of the arcade games is difficult. The main feature of this phone is the EV-DO VCast network from Verizon, which lets you download sports and news clips for $15 a month.However unless you live in a very large city (like Atlanta or New York), this network most likely isn't available to you.

If you get this phone and you're into the tech side of it, you should definitely get a USB data cable for it.I can transfer all of my pictures, wallpaper, ring tones, and Mp3s (it has a great MP3 player) directly with it and free software you can find on the web.Just make sure your data cable is made for this model and can charge the phone while plugged in.Battery life is great already however.

My one main concern with this phone (and the reason it only gets 4 stars) is the size.I'm used to very small phones and had heard this thing was a brick.It's not as big as made out to be, but it is definitely a large phone.I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me, but if you can, I would hold out for the next model, the VX8100, which will be much smaller and contain Bluetooth support.I will most likely pay a few hundred to upgrade to that model when it comes out just for the size alone.The phone also scratches rather easily so you have to be careful with it.

a great phone
I think this is a great phone. it has two large color lcds. this phone has camera and video. there is IM and downoadable features with get it now. also there is vcast which alows you to stream broadband videos like cnn weather E!, music videos, movie trailers sports and 3D games. and you can change the menu color to tropical, blue, busines, or default. It is also thin not razor thin but thin and not bulky.

Outstanding phone and great service from Verizon!
I'm a tech consultant who travels a lot and needs to be contactable by clients wherever I travel in the US, and also I needed a means to keep in touch with news, weather, sports and world events when traveling.This phone turned out to be the perfect solution.

Using Verizon's high-speed EV-DO network which has coverage in most major cities in the US, this phone can download "CNN To Go" 2 to 3 minute video & audio clips in 10 to 15 seconds, very fast for a mobile phone.

Additionally, the video quality on the 262K color LCD screen is just like watching a small LCD TV and the built-in stereo speakers produces outstanding sound quality.Using the stereo earphones that come with the phone, you can listen to video clips at restaurants and other public areas without disturbing the people next to you.

Now on to call quality... for the past year I've been using AT&T Wireless/Cingular service with a trusty and durable Nokia 6800 GSM phone.My first call on the VX8000 this week was a multi-way business conference call with several parties, and I've made this call many times with my old phone and service.I was amazed at the clarity of everyone's voices and even nuances that I never heard before on previous conference calls, like pages shuffling and whispers in the background.Many kudos to LG and the Verizon Network for enabling this level of call quality.

Regarding picture quality, this phone includes a 1.3 megapixel high resolution digital camera with the best photo quality of any cell phone I've seen to date, the quality of daylight photos compare nicely to photos I've taken with a Nikon 3700 digital camera.

Regarding customer service, the reason I called Verizon was because I was with AT&T Wireless/Cingular and I called their customer service line (611 from phone) to ask a question about my plan.After aggravatingly trying to navigate their voice recognition menu on their automated "customer service" (what a misnomer) line which never did understand my voice requests (perhaps I was cursing too much after a while ;-), and then navigating several levels of menus, and then being placed on hold for 15 minutes without receiving any customer service person, I realized my contract was up and therefore didn't need to put up with the poor customer service...

After doing a lot of research (including Consumer Reports) on cell phones and service, I decided to call Verizon which has the reputation of having the best customer service in the cell phone industry and the best network coverage in the US.Their 800# menu was quickly navigable and professional and within 1 minute I was able to speak to a courteous and knowledgeable customer service representative.This helped convince me to choose Verizon as a service provider.

The only downside I can think of with Verizon is that they may not be as price-competitive as T-Mobile or Cingular on many plans, however Verizon's $59 / 900 minute plan is quite competitive with the other carriers and is the best value of any carrier (IMHO) when considering the call quality, network coverage and customer service you get with Verizon.

LG & Verizon, keep up the good work!

I got the chance to check this phone out for a week and it was pretty sweet. The QWERTY keyboard was awesome! I love texting people so this was a huge plus. The downside was that you couldn't use the keyboard for everything.Some features wouldn't allow you to have it open.The features were decent and the call quality was normal.

NO email, bad bad User Interface, rattle-tastic slide
so i have had this phone for 4 or 5 days now, and i am *trying* to like it, but i am know i am going to send it back.

i can live with no camera, memory slot, bluetooth, etc. i txt quite a bit, dont really mobile IM, but figured maybe i would start, and it seems NOT A STRETCH AT ALL, that i would use THE most popular application on the Internets.. its called Email... maybe some of you have heard of it?

well, apparently not the folks somewhere between LG/Cingular/f9100 marketing and decision making teams. i have had phones for years that do email. doesnt need to be a full-blown app like outlook, but email on a mobile, especially one that does mobile IM seems pretty no-brainer as likely to be wanted. if you were thinking that a phone with 4 protocols of mobile IM capability and a slide out freakin keyboard would have included some email ability, even in the form of a pay-for 3rd party app, to do email you would be wrong. True, i can send email as XXXNNNYYYY@my.cingular.com, but thats no use to me, or i suspect, the billion people whoalready have an email address.

i also have a moto mpx220 from cingular, and it comes pre-configured for like 5 major ISP's email, and a great wizard to walk you thru a outlook/imap/pop3 account. i used it all the time and thought "great, now i can use a keyboard for simple stuff like email, and not have to drop $400 on a treo."

also, the slide rattles, opens in your pocket, there is NO WAY to turn off alert tones, poor font choices so it looks like a cheapo computer from 1991, you CANT use the keyboard on all the phone's INCLUDED applications, like its openwave WAP browser!!! surely someone between LG and Cingular could have added a middleware to hook the keyboards APIs to the Openwave text input APIs so that i could type in URLS with the INCLUDED keyboard rather than than tripple-tapping the phonepad.

sorry Lucky Goldstar, i want to like this phone, but please hire an Interface Designer, not just engineers. example, how about the Inbox saying "Inbox(2)" when i have messages instead of saying "Inbox" all the time. my phone from 2000 did that!

physically, the phone is pretty alright (despite the slide issue), so maybe there will be a firmware upgrade that just starts over from a software point of view and evolves this thing from barely ok (if txt and IM are all you ever use, and i KNOW that that is not true of even 17 year olds) to a pretty rawkin little txter/IM'er/emailin' sidekick fighter,

but thats just me lookin on the bright-side.

So near, Soooooooo FAR....
Looks very cool and exciting at first glance.Great color display. I've had this phone for about a month now, and wish I hadn't forked over the $150 bucks.

The phone keys are too small... you have to push with the very tip of your finger to operate them. The screen is great as is the slide out keyboard... but forget about any simple email or web browsing using the slideout keyboard. It is not supported !! How dumb is that? This great sliding keyboard, but it is only used for IM and data entry for the phone book.Anything else and you need to use the old multiple key pressing for alpha characters.

Oh yeah..the documentation... stinks, there are several pretty icons that show up on the screen for which there is no legend. And especially around the use and setup of different networks, where good documentation would be helpful, it is non-existant.

Add this to the annoyance of having it sliding open all the time in your pocket, or while you are using it...there whould be some way of locking it shut. well, I am sorry I purchased this phone.

Eh....nothing to write home about
The slide keyboard kept sliding open in my pocket which was awkward, and this phone is uncomfortably thick. And it claims to have a wide range of Java games available, but when I went to d/l some new games, there were only about 6 available. 6 is not wide range. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

WIth an innovative sliding design, Bluetooth and a VGA camera, the boldly designed PM-325 from LG makes a powerful statement while keeping you up to date with the latest wireless technologies. It's a great companion for Sprint PCS users who want the power of PCS Vision functionality.

Design
The phone's unique sliding keypad reveals a bright, 65,000-color, 128 x 160 screen. When not in use, the screen collapses to a smaller size and displays only vital data, such as time, incoming calls, signal strength and battery life. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button above the handset's dial pad. A button to engage the camera for quick shots, as well as up/down volume and selection buttons, are placed on the left side of the unit. The phone's 2.5mm headset jack is placed on the top right side of the unit, while the VGA camera and self-portrait mirror are placed on the back. Charging and USB data connectivity (via a USB adapter) are provided on the bottom of the unit. The PM-325 features an internal antenna-- nothing to snag or break off.

Calling Features
The PM-325's built-in address book can store up to 200 contacts with five phone numbers each. The address book also stores email and web addresses of contacts. Record your own ring tone, or choose from one of 24 multi-chord melodic ring tones and six traditional ring tones. There's also a vibrating alert for when you want to be discreet. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. You can also speak up to 30 numbers with the sound of your voice. Know who's calling you by linking downloaded images and photos to specific contacts in your internal phone book. The PM-325's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911 (where available). Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the PM-325 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Sprint's digital PCS network, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.

Because the PM-325 is Bluetooth-enabled, you can use a variety of headsets and handsfree kits for total wireless freedom when you're on the go.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The PM-325 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text and picture messages. With Sprint PCS Picture Mail, you can take a picture anytime and send it to family and friends instantly while on the Sprint PCS Network (Sprint messaging charges apply). Easily save your pictures on your PM-325 or store them online at sprint.com/picturemail, where you can share and upload unlimited pictures to create albums. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The PM-325 also supports PCS Vision email and instant messaging capabilities. Sprint PCS Vision transforms the wireless experience from something that's simply functional into something visual, entertaining and highly personalized. MSN Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL Instant Messenger are all supported by Sprint's PCS Vision service. PCS Vision mobile Web services let you check out sports scores, get your seven-day forecast, check your flight status, and stay up to date with the latest news. Experience full-color graphic versions of popular Web sites.

The PM-325 ships with a calendar and scheduler, a voice memo application with up to 3 minutes of record time, and a notepad. An alarm clock, calculator and world clock are also included, as is the very handy restaurant tip calculator. Never dine without it!

Imaging and Entertainment
The fun starts with the PM-325's built-in VGA camera. Capture pictures with up to 8x digital zoom and choose from a variety of customizable options, such as different color tones, brightness levels, and white balance settings. You can even customize your own camera shutter sounds. The PM-325 lets you choose between normal and large font sizes for easier reading, and there are four different theme skins and a variety of built-in screensaver selections and clock display options. With PCS Vision service, you can download games like Tetris and Pac-Man, as well as additional ringers, screensavers and backgrounds.

Vital Statistics
The LG PM-325 weighs 3.32 ounces and measures 3.92 x 1.82 x 0.9 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.2 hours of digital talk time, and up to 168 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the AMPS 800/CDMA 800/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Amazon is great.. phone is great, just say away from AT&T
WARNING: AT&T representatives ("Dawn: R361" and "Max: N360") themselves said during my troubleshooting (as detailed below) that I should NOT have bought through Amazon, and that they have received a barrage of complaints from Amazon buyers! I still really like Amazon, but they're integration with AT&T is non existent. People should not have to wait 2-3 days for service after they receive the phone. Buy the same phone on Amazon, but a different carrier.

Okay, but...
I do like this phone a lot. I use it just as a phone, no internet. It's small, light and easy to use. However, there is a button on the side that turns the phone settings from a ring to a vibrate mode. I can never seem to get my husband on his phone because that button gets pushed and it doesn't ring. Which kinda defeats the purpose of a cell phone, if he doesn't get the call. I haven't been able to figure out a way to over-ride that button. Everyone does like the ring though, it has an old-fashioned phone ring to it.

Hmm...
Considering how cheap this phone is, I'm not giving it two stars. However, the low price factor does reflect on the phone itself. The phone doesn't have a color screen or support Java. It has limited features overall.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but I have trouble connecting a call pretty often. I need to turn the phone "off", then "on" to solve this. The phone doesn't work nearly as well indoors as my Nokia 3595 did.

Let's see... can I say anything positive? Well, this phone is one of the cheapest around. It is also very thin and light and from a few feet away, looks no worse than those $400 camera phones.

But if ATT is offering a free phone with a contract, I suggest you get the Nokia 3595 instead. I had a much better experience with it, until I dropped it in water :(

Great Little Phone
I just got this phone last week. So far I'm happy with all available features. It lacks a color display, but I knew that before buying it. What I'm most impressed with is the ability to download my Outlook information into the phone. Can you imagine having to take time to manually transfer over 100 names, numbers, addresses, etc.?

The phone is very tiny and lightweight in size. It truly is no larger or heavier than a large pack of chewing gum. Additionally, I'm able to get all accessories off ebay, for a steal. Honestly, never buy accessories from the store.

So far, service has been great. I'm with AT&T wireless (former coverage with US Cellular until their switch). The GSM is much better in clarity than the previous TDMA (at least under AT&T Wireless; under US Cellular I NEVER had problems, even with TDMA, but that's a whole other story).

I recommend this phone if all you want it something to stay in touch. The price I paid ($25) plus the ability to download from Outlook was a no brainer for me. Two thumbs up. ... Read more

just got it today so bear with me
It is better than my T720 which just clunked out on me this week. I can hear other people fine with just one bar of signal. However they can't hear me I plan to test it out more tomorrow when I have a stronger signal at work. It is easy to use. I do wish it would have come with a screen saver and not have been so easy to go on the internet I mainly wanted a good phone which also took pictures. I did not want the internet browser. But I guess most folks like that now.

Static City
I get more static then you can imagine. People think I cause the static somehow. It is a kick ass phone but the static that others on the other end is terrible. I have a 10 day grace period and will return this phone first thing in the morning. LG must suck for phones. Nokia and Samsung are far superior to this static phone from hell.

can not hear a thing
this phone has great features only if you are not interested in hearing who you are talking to and don't want them to hear you clearly. the volume goes up to a level 5 and i need at least 2 more volume levels to hear most people. i'm 25 and not hard of hearing so you can see how this would be a problem. when i'm on the phone i have this weird look on my face b/c i'm trying to decipher what people are saying to me. do not get this phone unless you also want to purchase a whisper 2000 to go along with it. ...

Good basic phone
I got this phone by signing up with Working Assets (Sprint network) last August. The phone does well for basic features like address book, calling, and calendar. It has a nice monochrome display and the caller ID line can be read with the phone closed. Additionally, you can turn off the ringer with the exterior volume button, allowing you to easily cut off a call you don't want to take. It doesn't have any fancy screen or internet stuff, but that wasn't an issue for me.

My original phone did break because the D-pad got jammed. It was replaced for free and I've had no problems since. The reception hasn't been great, particularly indoors, but when I'm inside I usually have a land line around anyway. There does seem to be this weird 1-second delay in speaking, a problem I've had with both phones, so I'm not sure if it's a Sprint issue or the phone itself. You kind of adjust after a while.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the phone.

The LG1200 Phone
I have had no problems with this phone. I use it quite frequently and have had no problems with it. I think if you take care of the phone and use it in a normal fashion, the phone will last as long as any other phone, and I have tried a lot of phones! The flip phone is great as it allows you to save the life of the key pad. I would reccomend this product, and feel very comfortable in doing so. I think most of the problems arise from the carrier and how helpful they are in correcting problems. Choose the right company and you will be happy! I chose a wireless carrier with a Month-to-Month option and can cancel service anytime without any cancellation fees. Maybe that's the way to go.

Exterior Display Screen! GONE!
I've had this phone for just a little over a year. The display screen has totally faded, which means that I no longer have an exterior caller ID, which really sucks. I took the phone to Sprint to see what they could do and they told me I was just slightly out my warranty and I could 1. get a new phone or 2. get the insurance, wait a few weeks and then send in a $35 deductible for a replacement. Well I don't think so. I'm switching to VERIZON. SPRINT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. They don't do anything to keep their customers happy.

Ok for free
I've had this phone since last August when I moved to Annandale-on-Hudson, NY as I was told Sprint's service went there. Verizon is really better if you're in this area, thoughl. Sprint is okay, but it's hard to get service indoors.

The phone itself is ok. I got it for free when I bought it here at amazon and signed a year contract. I haven't had the battery issues some of these other reviewers have, but my outside display is missing several lines making it impossible to read. I've heard this is a common problem. I also use my phone for long conversations with parents and friends at home and the phone gets quite hot if you talk on it for more than 30 minutes. It's nice that it's flip though so that the buttons and screen don't get messed up and it's pretty hardy - I've dropped mine a few times.

If you can get this phone for free, it's good - it has the basic functions and a nice alarm (with snooze) in the calendar function and has a big address book with multiple listing, so you can have two mobile, two office, and two home numbers for one person.

Awful
-poor reception
-misses calls even when it is "in range"

Generally cheap. My display has accumulated debris inside the phone so I can't clean it out and it is difficult to read. When talking to someone it cuts in and out.

Paying anything for this phone is throwing money away. A cell phone company should offer 50% off since the phone only works some of the time. ... Read more
