+ Reviewer left no comment

- there s no wi-fi

+ I like the design of the phone - I think it suits me very well and personally I feel that it is one of the best phones, I have ever had.

- I have had this mobile for about 1 month and I still do not know how to load MP3 music onto it as each time I try a transfer through bluetooth, it just fails. I guess I will have to find some time to sort this out!

+ touch screen & camera

- Battery life

+ very easy to use as i have limited movement of my hands

- the battery do's not last as long as i though it would

+ just the desighn is good and it is a light hand set

- the battery ligfe is mesirable and really disappointing

+ Just brillant

- Not any bad points at the moment

+ stylish compact

- difficult to learn functions

+ looks good

- bit big

+ 5mp Camera

- Battery Life. What good is a mobile phone that lasts on average 6 hours? Get very little warning that the battery is going - it just dies! The navigation is so complicated and does nothing to preserve the very limited battery life infact its not a phone you want to explore due to the complexity of the navigation and by the time you've got to where you want it to be the battery's almost dead!

+ easy to use once you know what's what and very straight forward to find things

- can take a bit of getting used to especially when texting

+ easy of use and compact but not too small

- screen is not tough enough and needs more portecvtion than other phone, get scrached easily

+ Looks cool

- Short battery life...

+ Easy to use looks good not to heavy

- The pen gets in the way when on the phone

+ it looks good!!

- You cant scroll down when you want to delete a contact, memory is poor, overall not a phone im happy with

+ Looks good, easy to use texting keyboard, nice looking

- battery life short

+ Ease of use, stylish good all round fone :-)

- fiddley to get screen cover on properly

+ High quality pictures. Good music player.

- Poor battery life. A full charge only lasts me a day or so.

+ its a good phone overall nothin bad about it really

- none

+ Having the option of using the little pointy gadget!! I don't do technology but even I can work this one!

- Too clever by half but that is just the opinion of someone who only wants to phone people or send texts!

+ looks good and easy to use

- not really found any as yet

+ sleek design great camera and easy to use

- i bought this phone for my son and he hasn`t complained yet. i`m sure he would have done by now.

+ large screen good menu easy to use

- camera though good could be better

+ Everything except the battery.

- Battery life, or lack of.

+ Easy to use

- battery runs out quick

+ The main reason for buying the phone was the qwerty keyboard option when texting, I hate predictive text and pressing many buttons for a single letter. Great calender as well and it looks as good as an iphone (well nearly!) without paying stupid money as I am on PAYG. I would buy another one.

- The battery can go from 4 bars to nothing at the blink of an eye when browsing or using Bluetooth so be warned, otherwise quite a good battery life.

+ Love the phone but it does take a bit of getting used to if you've never had a touchscreen before. Good sound quality and as you can add up to 2GB of memory holds about 40 albums. Great price compared to iPhone. I honestly would recommend to someone who is thinking about an Ipod or Iphone, saves carrying 2 devices - more room for make-up!

- Texting takes longer as there is no prescriptive text and I still havent figured out how to delete text when I've made a mistake (just have to highlight and type over).

+ touch screen

- not enuff applications on it

+ the camera is mint!!

- Batttery Life Is Rubbish!!

+ it has a reallt good camera

- could get recpetion aboard

+ the good thing was the camrea was so good

- everythink else was not good i did not like it at all

+ Locking touch screen means un able to dial out by accident
Web n walk

- The stilo bangs against the phone when speaking
Poor navigation, takes some time to get used to touch pad sensitivity

+ Nice design, lightweight and large screen.

- Texting can be difficult with the lack of a cursor which can be tricky to master.

+ Easy to use, excellent camera and video

- Bit bulky, no screen protection, the one provided is useless.

+ the camera good.

- too big,same size as remote control for tv

+ Reviewer left no comment

- scrolling up screen

+ Touch Screen. Mp3 Ringtones. Bluetooth. Camera & Video.

- Short Battery life.

+ photo quality, using the pen feature

- bary lifette

+ Full touch screen.
QWERTY Keyboard.
5MP Camera.

- Battery life isn't great when listening to music.

+ Stylish, Takes good photos, easy to use, lots of phone for the price

- Camera has no guard and phone is a bit on the big side.

+ It is very easy to use. I struggle with mobile phones. I found it easy to navigate the menus.

- I find texting fiddly but then I am not that good at texting anyway.

+ Looks good, relatively easy to use, fairly decent batter life of 2-3 days on heavy use, call quality good, charges fairly quickly

- lg computer software is awful, the connector for the phone is not standard usb - just the standard lg connection to usb, which limits use.

+ power saving

- writing text messages

+ I wanted a phone which had a great camera and G3, and this camera had both, and more!. It Is touch screen with hand writing recognition, keypad and keyboard to choose from when texting. It is easy to take great photos to send to others, and easy to save into folders.

- None that I can think of.

+ easy useage

- some access facilities a little fiddly

+ Very user friendly, and no longer need to use a camera or video separately, its all on the phone. Very good.

- Trying to get a lead to connect to TV and having trouble trying to get one.

+ Nice design and excellent camera. Especially liked the panorama feature

- Battery died in 18 hours just on standby but this may just have been a faulty battery or handset.

+ very easy to use and the sound is good

- none as yet

+ It's good, the camera is really good. The navigation is good and it has alot of great features wich i havent even got round to using yet. i love the avatars you can make for your contacts they'er really funny. And i love the scrolling thing at the back but it takes time to get used to it. The fish back ground it pretty cool, i spent hours playing with that.

- The touch screen can be abit pathetic at times, you just hav to get used to it. And it should come with snake!!! it only has trial games which you hav to buy, and them games arnt even fun, otherwise it would hav been 10 stars

+ phone is packed with great features

- battery life

+ most things

- the contract

+ All round good phone

- none really

+ Nice to use and easy to learn how to use. Especially like the large touch screen and the excellent camera.

- Not found any bad pionts so far

+ Quick easy to use

- Reading the screen in sunlight

+ The phone looks very nice and the camera is great.

- The touch screen takes a bit of getting used to.

+ It's okay for me has all the things I'll use.

- But it gets complicated when a memory card has to be formated
is asking for a password and no one has been provided with the card when I bought it.
And also the same week my order was in process the same LG went down in price but you still charge me
the higher price it's not fare, I think you been a bit mean.

+ big screen, easy to navigate, great camera

- screen is easily scratched if protective cover is not put on

+ i read quite a few reviews before i bought this phone and a lot of people were complaining about things like finding it hard to navigate and use the jog wheel. but having bought the phone i hinestly cant agree with them. as with all new items you have to get used to using them. i love the jog wheel its quite handy when takind photos and scrolling through menus. it has a great 3' touch screen which is easy to use it also has a setting that allows the phone to vibrate when the screen is touched, letting u know when you've pressed a button.

- not many bad points. texting is a little difficult, im a fast texter and its a little hard with a touch screen. again its probably something you have to get used to. there is also the matter of not being able to delete a number (when your texting). if you add the wrong one you have to scrap the message and start again, which can be quite frustrating when your in a hurry. but other then that its a great little phone.

+ The design makes it looks stylish and modern.
I like the fact the stylus is also like an accessory as it makes the phone look good, but to be honest there really is no need for a stylus except sometimes for texting!
The 5MP camera is very good quality, especially for the price of the phone! So far it's the cheapest available phone with a 5MP camera.
It has a cute feature where you can draw a letter instead of writing it, and the phone recognises your drawing and turns it into that letter. You can do this when writing texts or notes. You can also choose to use a qwerty touch screen keyboard instead, or a standard phone touch keypad.
The camera is good in that there are two. So you can choose to take a full 5mp quality picture, or, you could use the secondary camera at the front of the phone. It's of a lower resolution, but the quality is still really good! I prefer using this one because you can actually see what you're taking a picture of on the screen while you're doing it.
The touch screen is good, because it's not too sensitive to your touch like the earlier touch keypads that some phones had e.g Samsung Soul.

- You can't silence the camera! Really annoys me as I like taking pictures, and if it's in a public place I don't like people turning around and staring at me just because the camera made a loud sound. I wish there was an option to silence it, but there isn't!
For some reason my internet won't load (for me anyway, might not be for everyone) :S
The major thing that has made me want to get rid of my phone already is the fact that sending a text using a touchscreen keypad takes SO much longer than a normal keypad. I like texting a lot, and the fact that it takes twice as long texting someone using a touchscreen keypad makes me shudder everytime I know I have to send a text on this phone. The querty keypad is nice, but its small. I don't have big fingers and yet I press two letters at once. It's really annoying!
The loudspeaker is also not very loud at all, and the fact that the screen locks itself like every 5 seconds is really annoying, especially if you have to press any buttons while you're on the phone!

+ Versatility, ease of use and full range of features

- Nothing I can think of.

+ Touch screen is very easy and the icons are very clear, the only small niggle I have is that the battery life is not as long as I had expected.

- See above

+ Easy to use!!

- Battery Life

+ Camera is excellent

- Battery life is abysmal

+ This is a fantastic phone, everything works well the touch screen is really responsive, and the 5 mega pixel camera really turns this into a must have...

- none that i can think of at the moment...

+ Good Features and easy to use could not live without its great calander feature. The qwerty keyboard when texting is great.

- Short battery life if browsing or using bluetooth but that is the same with most phones.

+ everything fabulous except point below.

- holdability, terrible!!

+ It is lovely neat phone.

- If you want the power to last any longer than 8 hours without even using the phone, then this phone is not for you. I have to have it permanently charged. I thought it was a problem with the phone so I took it back and got a replacement and the new phone is exactly the same. This is with the power save mode switched on and bluetooth inactive.

+ it looks awesome and i love the touch screen and camera

- Its awful for trying to bluetooth photos etc.

+ Camera impressive, haven't used my other camera for ages! Battery life seems fine (I guess it depends on how often you use the functions on it!)

- Nowhere for the stylus to live - apart from dangling from a piece of string(!) Would have been better to encorporate it home into the phone. Would have like the ability to alter the 'home screen' functions.

+ It has a good, large screen and easy to use touch pad. The camera is brilliant and produces high quality images and videos. Texting and calling are much easier than expected. Battery life is good. Great amount of storage memory, even without a card.

- Battery can be a little tempermental. Not many games.

+ Ese of use and easy Menu's,plus an excelland 5mp camera

- Battery life is not very good and needs recharging every night

+ 5 megapixel camera.

- the software is too slow.

+ Easy to understand and use which helps when you're a touch screen novice. The phone itself is excellent.

- Touch screen texting takes some getting use to when you have been used to all thumbs predictive texting. I find that it is too big to put in my back pocket so carry it around in my handbag more which means i miss alot of calls. The camera lens has not got a cover.

- Bluetooth compatability issues

+ easy to use looks stylish, can fit lge memory card, camera good and alarms on it are good.

- battery also no memory card supplied

+ Great value, easy to use touch screen phone.

- Have had problems getting the phone to save to external memory. Drivers cd-rom does not work in Mac's because it is too small.

+ A very nice phone, I have had many phones over the years from smart phones to most basic. The viewty is a good mid choice

- Not much software to download

+ Smart looking touch screen phone, with great camera. Nice size.

- Navigation can be a little awkward (probably due to my big fingers), but gets easier each day.

+ Easy to use to phone.Easy to text,especially using keyboard feature.Good quality camera. All in compact ,nice looking design. Like touch screen;first time I've used one. I particularly wanted a phone with a good quality camera, and be able to listen to my favourite music . It does all that at a reasonable price.

- Can't seem to text a number that isn't already in my contacts list.If it is possible I haven't found a way yet.

+ it looks good , loads of great features and a great camara with a good speaker

- Not very good on the games front (only one game free with the phone), short battery life,
the stylus would be better tucked away in the phone instead of hanging from the phone it gets snagged
up a lot

+ Its really easy to use and the screen in big and clear. There's not much I don't like about this phone, it's my first touch screen phone and the price was really good.

- The battery life is not brilliant. The screen can be a little too responsive when writing a text message.

+ 1) charges from computer via USB cable so don't need to carry charger if access to computer available
2) writing recognition fairly good
3) with memory card holds music and is a very useful memory stick
4) screen makes it easy to navigate
5) download of pictures to PC easy by bluetooth
6) interfaced well with TomTom

- 1) camera performance disappointing
2) transfer of phone numbers from SIM card resulted in multiple numbers
3) software not suitable for Apple MAC
4) software on PC is primitive and not user friendly
5) no synchronisation with googlemail
6) microphone in odd position, complaints from people on the other end of the line about audibility
7) screen difficult to read in sunlight (I live in Aberdeen so rarely a problem)

+ the video camera is great, nice to see a screen protector included

- the camera is very dissapointing, suffering from bad shutter lag unless in sport mode. the lg pc suite is bloody hopeless, and the stylus seems to have been an afterthought.

+ the good points are the camera because you can get it really detailed. the screen is a good size and easy to use. the software is cool.

- the battery on it doesn't last very long. even though its loud i wish the music could go louder.

+ 5Mp autofocus camera, touch screen menu system

- Battery - dead within two weeks

+ easy to use

- battery life

+ Great phone. Love the large touch screen, very easy to use. Briliiant photos and video.

- Camera lens should have had a retractable cover

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Being slightly deaf ringtones are useless, can't be heard unless pressed against your ear.
The manual explains everything in jargon but does'nt explain the jargon.

+ This phone looks good... the camera is great. A good buy.

- uploading photos to a Pc, Is a real pain.....I hope i can get it sorted soon.

+ Very good phone and is just as good as the iphone but 3 times cheaper!!!

- The LG viewty has a really bad battery life.

+ Ease of use

- Software limitations

+ lots of features for the money

- sound quality is not great and battery life is not good either

+ the camera is very good

- the reception and the battery life is not good. not very practical

+ I bought this phone for my husband and he is really pleased with it. The picture quality is excellent and the touch screen is so easy to use.

- None as yet

+ Good touch sensitive screen although a bit slow

- Internet can be a bit slow

+ Really nice phone, easy to use, takes a little getting used to though, the touch screen is lockable so it can't go off in your pocket. Yeah, nice phone

- The only thing is the battery life, which isn't that great if you're using it for music, apps etc
