I really like the phone itself. I don't use internet but there are quite a few features that I can mess with so that keeps me from getting bored/tired with the phone. I love how there is warranty and the charger adapter comes along with it. (That's why I bought it from here). One thing to point out is that it can write Korean on text messages but the other phone that receives the text (iPhone, for example) cannot read it as Korean and displays it in weird symbols. (I guess you can only send Korean text messages to another GD580 in order for the receiver to actually read it; or maybe it doesn't work at all. who knows). What a disappointment! However, if someone texts you in Korean with their iphone, you can read them. So it's just you can't send them. One other thing is that I expected at least 2 kinds of fonts to be available. But there was only one. What the hell? My old basic call phone (no internet, no other features) has one font, but this phone is like, lollipop made in the 21st century! This was a bummer. I like changing things around on my phone and I was expecting more from a lollipop phone. I bet the original phone (locked version) has several fonts but in the unlocking process somebody manipulated it, I guess. Anyways, aside from my disappointment in little things (maybe not so little for people like me...) such as the font and Korean typing feature, all else seems fine. Battery life is pretty good, call quality is ok, and the ringtones are loud enough. I haven't really used the camera features, but it looks ok. Light display on the outside is cool but not that detailed or extensive in terms of customization & options. I have the red color and it's really pretty! If you want a cute, fairly simple phone I would recommend this! :)Read full review
Most of the phone including the 2 sim function work very well. It isn't an android. the battery usually lasts about 3 days on a charge. The user manual isn't available in English so you need to be able to figure it out on your own. Since 2 sim phones aren't sold in USA your service provider won't know any more about the phone than you do, T-mobile was very helpful with me at trial and error settings until we got the internet settings right and working. We still haven't figured out picture messaging yet although text messaging works fine. LG USA knew even less about the phone and LG HK won't return emails. This phone seems to have a slow processor with at least a full second between icon selection and screen change. All that being said the 2 phone # benefit makes it all worthwhile. It color codes line 1 as blue calls and 2 as red, on inbound, outbound and phonebook. You have individual settings for each line. The camera is good, the touchscreen is just ok, reception is good, the phones size is like a 4" long credit card. It has T9 and qwerty, Internet runs on Opera at 2G speed. Bluetooth works good, haven't tried the music or headset yet. the games on it are worthless demos. Wi-Fi works good.Read full review
The LG BL40 is beautiful to look at, almost like a piece of art. The red and silver trim highlights the glossy piano black finish. I have had this phone for close to one month. After reading the reviews, I bought the phone for its good-looks while knowing some of its limitations. It came with a soft black case which fits like a glove, but the case can be difficult to remove sometimes because it is too tight. The phone feels solid in your hands, not like a cheap toy. Aside from its looks, the most important thing to me was that it functions well as a phone. I previously purchased a different cell phone, the LG Cookie, from a different online vendor, and I was shocked that the calls had too much other noise, which I originally thought was a problem with the phone so I exchanged it for another one, but ended with the same problem, so I had no choice but to return it. (I was surprised because I thought all cell phones would have perfected the phone sound quality in this day and age.) The sound quality of the calls on the BL40 are excellent, just clear conversations, the way it should be. The touch screen numbers are large and the screen is sensitive when dialing. Most of the time, I use my saved favorite contacts, but the menus are a bit slow to respond to your touch so navigation can be cumbersome. LG could have made some additional tweeks to the proprietary operating system, which I found not to be the most user friendly. Also, during a call, my hands may sometimes accidentally touch the screen while I am not holding it up to my ears, which triggers an unintended response. This is annoying and it takes a little getting used to the touch screen without a keypad. The touchscreen recognizes multi-touch but its not smooth. The other functions on the phone, such as the camera, FM radio, web browser, games, and texting are slightly above average but not excellent. I don't use those others functions as much so they are not as important to me, but are there if I need them. The phone did not come with a CD for the computer software and you need to download it off the LG website for updates, which was not convenient and I had a bit of trouble with the installation. After several tries, I got it to install somehow. I was disappointed with the computer software because it was limited in the types of files it transfers on the phone. If you have some patience for gadgets and need a gorgeous-looking and quality-sounding phone, the LG BL40 is for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.Read full review
This phone, the LG LX750 is a great phone. It has easy-to-use keypad that is water resistant single membrane--no separate buttons. I bought two extra phones as replacements for the one I have been using for almost 2 years. I have dropped it into a bucket of water twice, into the toilet, with pee, once, and have taken it out quickly each time. Some phones are dead the instant they hit water, but this one has survived these 3 dunks. I climb trees for work, and take this up with me. I have dropped it numerous times from heights of 30 to 70 feet--and it has survived. The price of this one was high, ($82 incl shipping)considering that the industry considers it obsolete,and the other one was more what I expected to pay ($35 incl shipping) but both arrived in perfect condition with a good ESNs. More modern phones are more delicate and have keypads that are too small to use with my normal man-sized thumb. buying these phones is cheaper than the insurance through Sprint.Read full review
The phone is something different from what is usually offered by American phone company and phone service providers. Also, this version as compared to the T-mobile version is different. The GD580 has a 3.0 megapixel camera and an internal camera. I don't really use the internet on my phone. All I do is text and call so I have no problem with not being able to use the internet (I'm not sure if you can use the internet on the phone or not because I didn't try to). My only problem with the phone is that it lags a little sometimes. Especially if you're getting multiple text at one time....patience is a virtue. I was afraid that since it was an unlocked phone I would lose media messages but with some maneuvering I was indeed able to. Overall though, I love the phone because it's a flip phone (easier for me to text, I was used to T9 before the touchscreen), it's colorful and its flirty.Read full review
