Clearing up mis-reviews

by D. Ross from on 2008-10-05
First, unlike a few of the reviews, I actually 1) own the phone and 2) waited to do the review. I like to know what I'm talking about when I review a product. There's not much to add in the area of Pros and Cons. Everyone's just about covered the: Great Screen, a little dim in full daylight, but very responsive. My call quality is better than my HTC Tilt, reception better as well. QWERTY keyboard is fantastic. Very snappy interface. The Cons that people are mentioning: Battery life. Any 3G phone has a reduced battery life. Here's how to turn off 3G on the Vu if you don't plan on using it. 1. Dial 277634#*# on the keypad to access the Test Menu 2. Select Modem Settings 3. Select Network Mode 4. Select Network Mode (again) 5. Select what bands you wish to be active. (select 2G if you want to make the 3G searching stop. This is what reduces battery life.) 6. Press the Clear/Back button until you return to the main screen Shutting off 3G just about doubles the battery life. Also, someone said there is no charging indicator, that's wrong. It's right on the screen. Hopefully someone will make a hack to give percentages.

Love it for the voice quality, TV is great fun

by Lewis Rothkopf from New York, NY on 2008-06-22
My primary requirement when researching my next phone was outstanding voice quality, and I am really glad to say that the LG Vu really meets that need. Callers on the other end have told me that they can't tell I am on a cell phone, and on my end their voice is clear, crisp and natural-sounding. Since I spent a lot of time on the road, I want calls with clients and co-workers to sound professional, and this phone gets me there. The other features are sure fun, but not the reason for my purchase. For email/calendar/contacts etc., I use my BlackBerry, but for voice calls (and yes, the TV functionality is amazing!!) this is my new go-to device. Highly recommended.

Great phone for everything use

I have owned this baby for 2 weeks now and am very satisfied with the LG. It was free for me with a new contract, so I cant complain about the pricing. I do agree that battery life diminishes after a full day of being on, but as another reviewer suggested, the 3G can be turned off(see end of review for the instructions). -I go on the internet, surf, write my emails with ease, text with ease. - -The touch QWERTY keyboard option makes it quicker to do so. -The buttons are normal size, but if you do have ginormous fingers, you will encounter annoyances typing the wrong key(as you would with any other touchscreen). -the display has great colors -video/tv shows great and fluidly -the camera is OK, not the best, but its not advertised as a digital cam, so no big deal I dont appreciate the comparison to the iphone because "DUHH!"- its not an iphone. You can do the same things as you would on the iphone except not spend all your $ on the iphone plan or iphone price. For those that think they need to be 'cool' by having an iphone, go buy one and stop whining. FOr the rest that are contemplating getting this phone, its a no brainer-- & its free! Here's how to turn off 3G on the Vu if you don't plan on using it. 1. Dial 277634#*# on the keypad to access the Test Menu 2. Select Modem Settings 3. Select Network Mode 4. Select Network Mode (again) 5. Select what bands you wish to be active. (select 2G if you want to make the 3G searching stop. This is what reduces battery life.) 6. Press the Clear/Back button until you return to the main screen

I chose the LG Vu instead of the apple iPhone. I wanted something smaller, more satisfying. This excellent little phone caught my eye, and was just what I wanted. The touch screen is very receptive, more so then any competitors, ( HTC fuze, google phone; LG voyager, incite; Samsung instinct, etc.) and even has tactile feedback (vibration) when you touch it!. Even though most camera phones have a two mega pixel or more camera, this phone is set apart by the extreme color in the pictures. The camera on this is better than my Sony digital camera! The only things that I wish it had, were a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and customizable menus. This phone is a GREAT buy!
