LG Fusic Review

by Liane Cassavoy

- LG does its best to replicate the look of an iPod with its Fusic cell phone. While this handset could fill in for your MP3 player in a pinch, you won't be mistaking it for Apple's device anytime soon.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Of course it's great to be able to carry my music and listen to it everywhere. And with the FM transmitter I can hear it on a big system (one of the newest phone upgrades)! I have a HP PC with multi-memory card drives built in, so it's very easy for me to transfer music files from my PC to my phone. Even if you don't have that, the phone comes with a USB adapter so you can transfer files easily. Or just buy a blutooth adapter and use the bluetooth capability! I love that it has a memory card, so I can expand it's memory to my hearts desire! (well as of right now, 512mb) That of which, also allows me to record long videos. Not just the standard 30 secs. On top of that, I can set the video as my background! It's cute and small (but not too small), and I can coordinate it with my outfit! Reliable LG is a plus too. And a decent price.

Weaknesses: Not so great quality pictures/videos, but what do you expect? IT"S A PHONE. Battery length is very short, but I don't want to ruin it's smooth compact design with a bulky extended battery. Bluetooth and the FM transmitter seem to wear the battery out faster than voice calls. And I wish Sprint had allowed us to use the FM transmitter for listening to the Sirius radio station. They just ruin my fun! Oh, and the transmitter must be very close to the stereo you play it on, but hey, it works.

Overall Evaluation: The most "badda bing" for your buck, and remains a sensible phone. VERY SATISFIED WITH THE PHONE ITSELF, but I hate the Sprint user format. AND YOU CAN CHANGE THE BASS LEVELS. More or less adjust the sound levels. While the media player is active, go to options, and press the number 8-"Equalizer." It gives you seven different sound adjustments. I find I get the best sound from "Jazz"

Strengths: Overall great phone the mini sd slot is a great addition. It can act as a jump drive and you can upgrade from the 64mb to a 512mb with little cost. The price was the most attractive amongst other cell phones. With all the content and features included in the phone I got it with a 2 year agreement for $179. The sound quality while using the phone is the best I've ever had. Many people have actually asked if I was calling on a cell phone because it did not sound like it.

Weaknesses: The only thing that I think would improve the cell phone was if it did not operate under a java script, but I am not a huge java fan. One more thing is that there is no way to adjust the levels on the media player or on the sprint music store.

Overall Evaluation: Overall this is the best phone I have ever bought. That's 10 years of different cell phones. The features are abound on this phone. I would like to see a way to adjust the bass and other sound settings on the media player and that would make it out of this world.
