  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: 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: 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.

  Strengths: ability to add memory, easy to change faceplate

  Weaknesses: battery life, strength of bluetooth signal

  Overall: I have had this phone for 3 months and it is the second one after having sent the 1st Fusic back within 30 days for problems with that phone. I thought this phone would be great because of all the features but because of unreliability with the battery life, I have not even tried out the MP3 capability. I have found that the battery has to be charged every night (even if it was just on standby the whole day). I have also found that if I don't turn off the phone in order to charge it, then the phone will be dead within 6-8 hours the next day. I have never had to turn off my previous phones to get them to charge correctly. I took the phone to Sprint's Corporate store to have looked at and they checked the battery and said that it was fine but I think it is a problem with the phone itself. I also do not believe the bluetooth works well as I have had friends tell me that the connection was weak or muffled when I was using my new Motorola bluetooth earpiece or when using the bluetooth hands free system in my new Acura car. Needless to say that with-in the next few months I will be looking to find a replacement phone and will likely look at Samsung as I have never had a problem with their phones. I have also learned that I should purchase the replacement insurance for at least a couple months as Sprint said that if they had found a problem it would have cost me $50 (which is what I paid for the phone) to cover the technician's labor in order to have the phone fixed or replaced even though there is a 1 year LG warranty.

  Strengths: This phone is stylish,cool and fun. The face plate is changable. And the mp3 player works great. Big screen and very easy to use. The phone locks when closed so no more taking empty black pictures.

  Weaknesses: transmitter is a little weak. Camara ain't the best but it's sufficient.

  Overall: Buy this phone you won't be disappointed. And you can't beat the price. I give this phone high ratings Lg did a good job. Go get it now and have fun... Tell sprint to cut me a check or Lg somebody pay me for selling your product. Na just kidding this product will sell itself just give it a chance...
