Advantages: Sleek, stylish, modern, touch screen

Disadvantages: faults: battery, signal, flash

I have had this phone for almost a year now.

When I originally bought this phone I was absolutely in love with it. It was sleek, stylish and had some great features. The camera worked brilliantly and took pictures better than some digital camera's I have seen. It played mp3's and had a radio. You can download pdf's on to the phone too as I currently have the local bus timetable on my phone. I loved the phone so much I recommended i to my friend (kinda regretting that)

Now for the bad parts. One year on and the flash bulb has gone on the phone and no longer works, therefore the photo's are dark and/or unviewable. The touch screen crashes, I don't exactly have fat fingers but now when I press a zero I get an eight, a six I get a three and so on. This is not only confusing but problematic especially when it comes to sending text messages.

Other problems are that when trying to unlock the phone it takes three attempts or comes off of lock and then goes back on to it straight away. Also the signal often goes completely even though I am in the same spot that seconds ago had full signal.

My friend has also had problems with her phone such as leaving the phone on charge all night but then getting a phone call and it wiping the battery. She replaced the battery and the same thing happened.

Overall quite disappointing and I would have expected better from LG.

Summary: A good phone but after time it breaks and becomes basic, disappointing
