Bad – This phone lured me in with it's nice looks. Worked well for a couple of months, then just started doing things by itself, which is very frustrating when your trying to send a text. I took it back to the phone store and said what it was doing, and the sales rep basically said they all do that. I feel i wasted my money in buying this phone, which… Read more

was a fair bit back when they first came in. This was the first LG phone i'd ever had, and it will now be the ONLY LG phone i ever have. Good looking with good features. Spare battery. Easy to use. Camera and MP3.. The touch screen is useless. The phone just operates by itself, flicking in and out of menus etc. Sometimes would just freeze or turn itself off.

OK – Is much better than my previous phone. I have had it for 1 year, 1 month and am still using it but with more modern phones now available this phone isn't as good in comparison. The navigtion is touch screen. The phone came with an attachable screen cleaner. With USB connection you can put videos and music on this phone, however there is limited… Read more

memory. The LG KG800 fulfills the purpose of a mobile phone- to make or receive calls. Comes with a spare battery, is simple to use. Has bluetooth and an MP3 player. Sometimes freezes, no cover for the battery

Bad – I got sucked in with the phone looks and functions. The only phone i will ever have and own will be a nokia best brand. looks are good 1. touch pad is too touchy. 2. goes onto the internet when you don't want it to. 3. freeezes for no reason. 4. the slide breaks easily

Terrible – DON'T BUY IT. If someone gives one to you as a gift, you might get a few months out of it - that is of course if you haven't given it to someone else by then. I know many people with this phone and everyone has bought a new phone within 12 months of putting up with this one. Sorry to say but its good looks sucked me in BIG TIME. It is very sleek… Read more

looking and cheap. Will fit in your pocket easily. You will never find this phone in you handbag. Too slippery, I can guarantee you will drop it no matter how careful you are. Poor battery life - after 11 months my phone randomly turns itself off, even on the same day I have charged it. Just don't buy it.

Terrible – i wouldn't recommend this phone to any one it might look good but it isn't all it is cracked up to be. the phone is very sensitive you can ring people and not even realise you are doing so. it also is very fragile you cant even handle a little drop otherwise it starts to play up i have had a lot of phones and all of then have been able to handle… Read more

little drops and still work fine i think this phone is a rip off and i believe people were miss informed about how good it.was. it looks nice very sensitive

Terrible – This phone is very good looking. But you should never judge a book by it's cover. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone at all. It was a mistake I took in buying this phone. Next time I will researh the phones I buy before I buy them. This phone looks very nice. The best part about it would be the camera. The memory was also pretty good for a… Read more

phone without a memory card. The phone was very slow. When I slid it up it would take a few seconds for the picture of time to come up.

The keypads are very sensetive and bluetoothing was very diffucult because it kept on disconecting. Also I lost alot of credit by the phone calling people without me noticing. After about 5 months of use the touch stopped working, I woke up one morning and had a message on my phone I went to look at it and my touch screen wouldn't work. I had been having trouble like this for a while.

You could only hold 150 msgs (inbox, outbox & drafts included).

It's a very slipery phone and falls out of your hand easily after a few drops my side buttons stopped working so I had to slide it all the time.

After having to slide it so much my screen often went blank and I would have to turn it off and on to get it working again.

Some moving pictures that worked on older models wouldn't work on this phone.

You can only choose from 4 message tones.

Terrible – like most things that look good, its way more trouble than its worth! I would have to turn my phone on silent when going to work, then on my break if i called someone (or someone called me) it would say we are connected but i could hear nothing (whether or not i took it off silent before hand or not). i would have to turn phone off & on again to… Read more

be able to hear anything which is very bad if your battery is low! when finally connecting i am told they could hear me but i couldnt hear them. also touch pad is VERY sensitive. after almost completing long txt messages all of a sudden the screen would change (as if u touched a button but my hand was nowhere near it) & u could easily delete message. overall a VERY frustrating phone that does your head in, i wish i had looked into it more & went on this site first but as i got it when it just came out & the sales guy really recommended it, i didnt know any better sleek stylish look. compact, has camera & mp3 comes with 2 batteries, all the reasons why i bought the phone oh where do you start? touch buttons to sensitive, silent mode mucks up. see below.. Save your sanity & do NOT buy!!

Terrible – This phone only have the look. It is a nice size, easy to put into pocket. Stupid vibration, you can beary feel it. Most of the time, I just ended up missing my calls. The most annoying thing about this phone is that is freeze up alot. You might be in the middle of a text msg and then it froze!!! The keypads would freeze without a warning and… Read more

you have to turn it off, then back on, before it will work again. The battery life is poor. Regret buying this phone, wasted alot of money for this when it first came out. A very sleek stylish phone. That will wow everyone. Comes with 2 batteries, mp3 and camera Froze on you all the time. Very annoying to use. Too many to lists here.

Terrible – This phone seems to be made with the cheapest and most limited possible version of all its features. It is not put together well and is extremely fragile, especially the screen. I have taken very good care of mine, but within a week of getting it I was experiencing wiring issues and the speaker in my ear was making no sound at all. I know many… Read more

people with this phone and not one of them is happy with it. But if all you want is a simple phone for phone calls and sms it would probably suit you. I only recommend it if you get it free with a plan, don't pay your money for it. I got it because it was slimmer than my last phone, the camera is a good feature and it has bluetooth It is extremely fragile, the battery lasts only 1 and a half days, it has no speakerphone, the alarm has no snooze, calculator can only handle 2 decimal points, it can't send sms to a group, the touchpad is easilly activated by accident in my pocket- I have rung a few people without knowing, USB cable can only access photos taken by the phone itself but not ones recieved by sms or bluetooth. A luxury item I was disappointed it didn't have was to be able to use an mp3 for sms tone, you can only use mp3 for ring tone.

Bad – good looking phone but problem so you need to take good care of it. but good for its price. i bought it for 300 dollars for the whole headset with everything it has good accessories but like i said you need to take very good care of it well i love the looks itlooks very good and good camera good resolution i really like the touchpads their mad but… Read more

sometimes can lead to pressing the wrong button because they are too sensitive it gets scratched easily.mines all scartched. and the battery cant be taken off easily it stays there so you need to push the button to remove the battery very hard and that scratches the back and the battery only lasts a day and a half...you have to have it on charge everyday...i usually keep it on charge while im sleep.

Terrible – I wish I'd kept my Motorola V3x, instead of buying this one. I'm not going to get another LG, even though they look awesome. A very good looking phone. It has a good camera, and excellent flash. Unlike most camera phones it takes great photos at night. Expensve, difficult to customize, difficult to use. Scratches way to easily, isn't durable at… Read more

all. I dropped it once and it has a massive dent and had to be put together. I've dropped all my old phones more times than I can count, without any damage. Its probably only suited to very careful people. It's a good looking phone, it's just not very functional.
