LG VU AND YOU

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: Jeff Miller on Thursday, January 22, 2009
From: Wheeling, WV (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Sharp LCD makes the phone fun to use.The touch screen takes a little time to get use to.Love the T9 texting with the one touch of the number keys.You really need to try it.Reception has been strong and sounds very clear where ever I"ve been.

Cons: Internet is not great,but thats not what I use my phone for.

Summary: I played with the floor model in the ATT store for a long time before deciding to buy this phone.You really must work with it a lot to learn the features but it is worth it. You can find hundreds of user reviews and many expert reviews on this phone as well as video reviews
from cnet, phone dog and others. These reviews and the fact that I could get it for 50 bucks after rebate convinced me to buy it. I'am glad I did

Pros: For a pressure touch screen, it registers very well. Battery life is somewhat lacking, but I keep bluetooth and anything not needed off, so it is fairly good when on bare minimum. The possibilities with this phone is great, you just need to have good sources. I myself have different themes (Blackberry, iPhone, Slide, Walkman) so this phone never gets too stale. The phone is very overall sturdy, as I have dropped it multiple times while trying to put it in my pocket, with no cosmetic or mechanica

Cons: The touchscreen motions are somewhat odd. The scrolling is reverse of most phones. I noticed that if you have a long list on a screen, when you glide, it tends to scroll way to fast. I personally do not like "glossy" phones, as they tend to get dirty quickly because dirt, smudge, and oil likes to cling to things that are shiny. If you didn't sign up for the TV thing, then you also have a pointless antenna (I, however, turned mine into a stylus.) I also do not like the call/call end buttons.

Summary: Overall, a sturdy and nice phone. You just have to be patient, give it some time, and do some tweaks here and there in order to customize it and satisfy your phone cravings. LG definately made a winner here.

LG VU REVU

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: John Doe on Saturday, December 27, 2008
From: Nowheresville, DE (United States)
Experience: 10 Days
Pros: Easy to use, great touch quality, great camera, and phone is very loud. Love the look and the HUGE screen. Been waiting for this phone for a long time.

Cons: You cant touch and drag like on the Samsung Eternity. I would have loved that feature on this phone.

Summary: If ya want a great touchscreen phone get this one. The LG VU, it is great for anyone. And if you are worried about the touchscreen and making alot of mistakes, DON"T because you can calibrate it for rhythem, pressure, and accuracy. Overall, the LG VU is a great phone. Thanks.

LG Vu

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: R. Price on Thursday, December 25, 2008
From: Hilliard, OH (United States)
Experience: 62 Days
Pros: The large display is great, especially for user's with impaired vision. The phone vibrates when you touch a key, very helpful for those of us who are new to the touchscreen generation. The screen is very responsive, and battery life is pretty good for a phone with so many features.

Cons: The occassional typo, LG has done its best to cram a full keyboard into a 3 inch display, and that creates a few errors.
TV service isnt available everywhere. The interface is simple, but it can still take some getting used to - kind of tricky.

Summary: The LG Vu is truly an amazing phone, if I had to compare it to any other phone I'd have to say it's sort of similar to Verizon's LG enV2. The touchscreen is pretty responsive and when you touch a key the phone vibrates slightly to let you know that it got the command. Some people have complained about texting through a touchscreen keyboard, and there complaints aren't purely hollow but as with any qwerty keyboard, typos are always possible. Battery life is suprisingly long - I mean you have a touchscreen, a huge display for it to light up, TV, texting, phone calls, that could seriously drain a lot of phones in a flash, but the LG Vu does a pretty good job holding up and a nightly charge is enough to keep you going like the Engergizer bunny. As far as appearances go this phone is definately a hot topic right now - it's slim, and it's chic. Durability? You know it! This phone can definately take a tumble, I've dropped mine 3 or 4 times getting out of my car, 3 out of the 4 times it landed on the touchscreen - still fully responsive.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who appreciates a touchscreen, and wants to be able to write messages quickly, but not carry around the bulk of an actual QWERTY phone.

By: Mike unknown on Monday, November 17, 2008
From: unknown, CT (United States)
Experience: 2 Days
Pros: Good cystal sound with music, nice pic and cam quality, looks and feels well built.

Cons: battery life is terrible, touch screen stinks! Complicated for beginners,
terrible TV service--(maybe thats because of the area im in though)
Sim card is a pain to get out if and when necessary.
When texting on full keyboard the keyboard has very small letters making is hard to select certain keys, they should have mad it bigger..


Summary: Over all I am very displease with my purchase of this phone. although some features are nice. its just not worth it

LG Vu

Overall Rating:

By: Bailey preisre on Monday, October 06, 2008
From: Houston, TX (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Easy touch screen, great TV signa
l, great internet signal, easy to use

Cons: Bad battery life, no flash on the camera, overpriced

Summary: The LG Vu is a great phone for anyone who is new at using phones. It is full touch screen easy to use. But has bad battery life, and does not have flash for the camera. Has a 2.0 megapixel camera that is awesome. but you have to be really sure you want a full touchscreen because it can get boring. I have had mine for 4 months and I am so bored of it and mow i want the LG Venus in pink. Overall this is a great phone besides the few downsides.

Lg Vu Review

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5
By: Alexander B. on Monday, July 14, 2008
From: Baton Rouge, LA (United States)
Experience: 2 Weeks
Pros: Great Sleek Look,
Small yet comfortable and well built feel,
Exceptional Tv.

Cons: Not as touch sensitive as I would like,
Slightly difficult to scroll.

Summary: The new Lg Vu is a great phone. Its easy to figure out how to use, comfortable to hold and looks awesome. I like the camera though I wish it had a 3.2 megapixel instead of a 2.0 though it looks great anyway. Slightly difficult to scroll, you cannot just flick as with the iPhone. I like the video calling it seems to work good. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone looking for something new and unique; something with its own great qualities yet still having its errors. Overall this phone is very well made with some slight room for upgrade or modification in the future.
