To start with, I've had this just one week so far & for basic/casual use only. Will not use it for the 'net & haven't tried the camera yet. With that said, I absolutely love this phone! It has the functions I was looking for and more. It has many features all explained in detail in the thick booklet it comes with...I suggest reading it thoroughly with phone in hand to check it all out. There are buttons that have more than one function...if you press once it will do one thing, press & hold, it will do more. Touch a widget item twice, it could make another option quickly available. Or, with an idle screen press once for volume up/down to adjust touch sound, or press AND hold to adjust volume while in a call. If you want no sound for touch or at start up/shut down, you can set to your preference or quickly set to silent mode before a meeting or other occassions. Another feature, you can send a message or look through the address book while on a call. There is much more & lots of -helpful tips- in the book. Again, the booklet describes each function with detailed information. So w/o reading it or taking the time to read each page, you might miss out or not know of a function that could adjust, fix, or allow more options.
It came with a charger for 100-240v and an adapter that fits well...just push a little to connect and plug in to charge. It's all you need to charge in the US or in other countries. More accessories are included but I suggest -not- trying the screen protector they added separately since it has residue AND it's a bit thick which would make the touch screen less responsive. Also ---> the phone already has a screen protector on it when you take it out the box (the right kind of protector for touch screen), so if you look closely you can tell it's there and no need to remove or replace it. Just wipe clean when needed.
This phone looks a lot nicer then it appears in the pic shown. It has good quality hardware and easy to hold on to, not slippery. The touch screen looks really nice & is very responsive & brings up the menu or whatever you need quickly. Mine does anyway, and there are settings for every thing (I do mean every thing) so you can adjust to your preference. Easy, intuitive, & has many features that make it so nice and capable of doing a lot.
The side scroll bar takes some getting use to but it works well after practicing a bit. The return/back icon should not have been placed right above the top of the scroller. The backlights longest time for inactivity is 60 seconds, but you can just press the on/off button once and it will be back on & in the same screen/function you were using. That's all minor stuff imo. I got more then I expected for the current price and with a year warranty from cell concepts (ordering directly from Amazon), it is a great deal in my opinion. In checking if support is available or not, I found that LG and Cell Concepts will help.
I use T-Mobile and pay as you go service. I find this phone to be reliable & -not- a cheap quality cell that the phone companies offer w/o a contract. An unlocked 'non-branded' phone is much better then a phone directly from the phone companies & retail stores. What I mean by non-branded is for example, AT&Ts name is not on the hardware, only the manufacturer...like LG is on this phone. I have had an LG flip phone for the past 6 years & it still works, I just wanted to try a newer more functional phone and this one is very nice. |
