Advantages: Aesthetics/looks

Disadvantages: Mobile OS, general speed, keypad ergonomics, screen size, camera, digital player...

This phone has all the looks and appears good on paper, it is also cheap and the screen looks rather large.
Do not be fooled! I had the misfortune of buying this phone last year and I have been sick of it since. The mobile operating system is pitiful, slow and a pain to use.
I was so disappointed that LG have created such a dirge of a device. Every time you try to complete a task expect to be bombarded by verification messages and giant ticks each time you complete a task (which is deserved, as even the simplest of tasks are difficult on here).
The keypad buttons are too small, I find myself pressing several buttons at the same time, making texting a mammoth of a task. The camera is very poor, for its 2MP. The digital player is a joke, a volume range which jumps from mute to ear piercing and it takes far too long to write a text! The speed of the OS is excruciatingly slow, it pains me just to think of it.

Avoid this phone, it is nothing more than its looks, the screen is half the size it looks in the picture! Many people say they want a phone just to make calls on- and this phone doesn't do that properly!

Summary: Not worth the price, all it will do is look nice.
