"With this phone LG says it is 'bringing an affordable touchscreen phone to the masses'. Well, OK, but LG's understanding of the term 'affordable' and yours might not be the same. This is not really a handset for those looking to drastically pare their phone costs to the bone. Carphone Warehouse has it for £35 a month on Orange Dolphin, £40 a month on T-Mobile Combi and £45 a month on O2, all for 18 months."

You may need to reassess your opinion on this phone a bit, the prices on the carphonewarehouse site include a free ps3 with singstar 2 and mics. The phone is less than £100 on pay as you go and free on all contracts from sites like mobiles.co.uk. Seems pretty cheap for a phone which whilst not as feature packed looks a lot nicer than the renoir.

Seems a shame as the review seems jaded by this assumption focusing in the lack of features against the renoir/pixon etc. Not on my shopping list but seems a good phone for the money.

And if you don't want a PS3 / WII or XBox360, 18 month contract, handset is free and £15 a month. So could be an expensive way to buy a PS3.

I own this phone and mostly I love it. Marvellous technology for the price BUT you guys obviously didn't play with it long or thoroughly enough to find the software bugs in the UI. I would list them but I fear it would be quite a long list.

This is a lovely phone but the firmware isn't finished and LG appear to be in denial. Their support site and telephone support is hopeless. Aside from the occasional excusable glitch you get with any complicated electronic device, this phone's favourite tricks include rebooting randomly and a calculator with a dodgy divide-by function ( e.g. 110 / 1.1 = 49.1 er... don't think so!!!)

It's Really Good And Moree Affordiable,, And you would think it would be more considering it is touch screen it is only £97.50 on 02

It is also good touch reaction

£99 i wish id have kept, or spent a little extra to get a Samsung or Ericcson! This phone is absalutly terrible, and i would never advise anyone to buy it let along get it on contract. Sooooo many problems,
*Rebooting itself randomly
*Bettery Failier even though its got full battery
*The dreaded death blue screen
*Bluetooth connections faulty
*The phone takes it upon itself to delete images/videos/messages
*Message storage device is terrible with a loudsy 250 each box

I could go on...for ever!
Do NOT perchase this phone!
