I tried to be optimistic...

I had read a few bad reviews and a few decent ones for this phone so I decided to give it a try, giving it the benefit of a doubt, I don't expect much from a phone so maybe those bad reviews weren't so bad. My carrier had very few choices and I have had LG phone in the past I loved. Oh my, never have I wanted to smash a phone so many times in my first day of owning it. Normally you go through that weird kind of love phase with a new phone, not with this one. I wanted it gone and by the second day I returned it. Some screens took several tries to open, it lagged and would freeze on the volume control screen. The battery once fully charged lasted me about a 35 minute call. These were not the sort of issues one would expect to see come with a brand new phone.
The issues aside, there are a number of features of the phone I didn't like. Button placement on the touch screen and the layout of the slide out keyboard sucks. You have to play a ringtone outloud to either change your ringtone or chenge your phone volume so don't bother when you have to sit somewhere quiet like a lecture. You also can't set the phone to only ring for an alarm clock and nothing else. Which is a key feature for me because I work early and need my alarm but am also subject to a lot of drunk dials from friends at 3 am.
Anyways I could go on all day about why I hate this phone. I'm just glad it gone and when I returned it the guy at the store told me that I was lucky/unlucky enough to have the issues (such as the lagging) happen right away because he sees a lot of people coming in with this phone once its too late to return it. Seems to me places should stop selling this piece of grabage, sorry LG (I notmally love your phones)but this is just crap.
