LG Cell Phone Reviews

LG Glance

Overview What's Good: Durable device with good call quality and strong battery life. What's Bad: No 3G; gold battery cover may be a bit of an overkill. Introduction What happened to candybar devices? We've seen twisting devices, sliding QWERTY keyboards, flip phones, and more, but the age-old bar phone seemed to fade into the sunset. Not so...

LG LX290

Overview What's Good: Build quality; fantastic reception; battery life is respectable.What's Bad: No EVDO; picture quality is poor; font size may be too small for some. Introduction Despite the seemingly endless talk about smartphones, there's still a market for regular, reliable cell phones. Quite frankly, we doubt that grandma (most, at least),...

LG enV Touch

IntroductionThe LG enV Touch looks a lot like the LG Voyager and what was missing in the latter cell phone is more than made-up for in the former. Namely, the LG enV Touch has 3.2-megapixel camera with a flash, a fully customizable user interface, one-touch access to popular social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, and it’s all in a much...

LG Versa VX9600

Introduction At first glance, the LG Versa may look an awful lot like the LG Dare, but this cell phone is different. What makes it distinct comes in the box: a snap on case that protects the cell phone’s touch screen and adds a full flip down QWERTY keypad. It also has many of the high-end features you’d expect: 2-megapixel camera, touch-screen,...

LG LX370 Silver

Introduction In this day and age, it seems as if smartphones are the talk of the town.  Everywhere you look, it seems like the pocket computers are dominating our society.  With the media centering around the Apple iPhone, Palm Pre, BlackBerry Tour, and HTC Hero, it's easy to understand why regular phone launches rarely get the respect...

LG enV3 Slate Blue

Overview What’s good: Battery warrior, great internal and external keypadsWhat’s bad: Using camera while QWERTY keyboard is open results in a challenge. Introduction When one thinks back to the original bland and bulky LG enV, it’s evident that the company’s latest devices are designed to integrate form and functionality as much as possible....

LG Dare

What’s Good: Attractive, highly customizable UI with home screen shortcuts; Compact design with high-res touchscreen; HTML Web browser and Email app with EV-DO Rev A support; VCAST Music and Video Support; Rhapsody streaming music support; 3.2 MP camera with flash and VGA video capture; 3.5mm headphone jack; Accelerometer and proximity sensor...

LG enV2

What’s Good: Sleeker and smaller than the original EnV.  Comfortable QWERTY keyboard and QVGA internal display make texting fun.  Huge external keypad makes dialing easy.  VCAST music and video support.  Support for laptop tethering (phone as modem). What’s Not Good: External keypad makes the phone look like a retro...

LG Venus

What’s Good: Beautiful display; Context-sensitive menus; Extensive feature set; VZ Navigation works very well What’s Not Good: Half a touchscreen sometimes feels gimmicky and frustrating; Touch controls sometimes unresponsive; Poor voice quality with unacceptable hiss on some calls; Somewhat bulky overall Bottom Line: Venus’...

LG Rumor White

What’s Good: Compact, rugged design with full QWERTY keyboard; Easy to use; Auto-rotating display; Good SMS, IM, and Email integration What’s Not Good: Limited functionality beyond voice calling and messaging; No Power Vision access makes for slow Web browsing; Reports of laggy software and keyboard issues (I encountered none); Weak...

LG Muziq-LX-570 Black

LG’s Muziq is the follow-up to the Fusic, which was the first handset I ever used with the Sprint Music Store.  While Fusic received mixed reviews, I happened to really like the phone’s cheery, compact design and straightforward functionality.  Muziq picks up where Fusic left off, with a thinner, sleeker body, enhanced multimedia...

LG KE970-Shine

LG's KE970 "Shine" is one of the most gorgeous mobile phones - nay, one of the most gorgeous handheld objects - I've ever come across.  I drooled over it at CES in Vegas this past January, and again at CTIA in Orlando in March.  I tend to favor a combination of features and style in my gadgets, but from the moment I first saw Shine's TFT...

LG VX-8600

LG's VX-8600 is the clamshell successor to their very popular "Chocolate" candy bar phone.  This dual-band CDMA cell phone for Verizon Wireless actually packs all of Chocolate's functionality into a sleek flip phone that I found easier to use and more attractive than the VX-8500.  Clad in shiny black with silver trim, the 8600 is a thin...

LG KE970-Shine

The LG Shine is the latest phone from LG and is a part of their new Black Series line-up. The LG Shine is also known as the KE970 and in my opinion is the slickest and sexiest phone to be released by LG thus far. When the screen is off it looks beautiful, the whole front panel is a mirror and looks all chrome. The back of the phone resembles a...

LG VX-8500-Chocolate

The LG chocolate phone was made and released for Valentines Day, hence the name Chocolate phone. The phone got very famous quite fast because of the design and futuristic look. Although the LG chocolate phone is more famous, the Samsung E900 is a direct competitor, but which is better for you? Even though the phone is called chocolate, it...

LG VX-8100

The LG VX8100 is a stellar dual-band CDMA mobile phone with a plethora of features crammed into its sleek frame. Visually, it is a vast improvement over its rather blocky predecessor, the VX8000, and features like its 1.3 Megapixel camera, expandable memory slot, Bluetooth compatibility, and stereo sound put it in the top tier of full-service...
