Summary: Great Phone/Low Cost
Review: I purchased this phone through a Radio Shack when I signed up for my Verizon service. It was 20 with a 2 year contract. I love it so far. I've dropped it on hard cement 4 or 5 times and it's still working perfectly and barely has any noticeable surface scratches. The durability of this phone shocks me considering how small and light the phone is and how extremely clumsy I am.

The volume is loud, with a speaker option for people who might have difficulty hearing.

The keys are bright, the phone is very easy to use and the colors and ringtones included on the phone are fun.

The size of the phone is perfect. It's small and lightweight, but everything is still a useable size. Nothing is hard to read and the buttons aren't too close together or too small.

If you leave the phone on standby, the battery EASILY lasts up to 4 days.

It has some extra features that are included with most LG phones: tip calculator(BEST feature ever), customizable alarms, notepad, reminders, schedule, regular calculator, and a world clock.

The reason I gave this phone 4 stars is because it isn't customizable as far as ringtones and wallpapers go, which many people take for granted these days. While that wasn't a selling point for me, I think it's something that the phone lacks. It also only holds about 80 or so text messages in the inbox/outbox before asking you to delete messages. For someone who has to save a lot of important text message info, that might be problematic.

Overall, it's a great low-frills phone for a really low price. If the tiny flaws won't bother you, I highly recommend this phone.

Summary: Great little flip phone
Review: I've had my Motorola V60 for a couple of years now and wanted to move up to a better plan and better phone. I was with T-Mobile all of this time and wanted to see if they had a good deal for a loyal customer like me. "Sure", they said. "You can *buy* a new phone for about $120". "But I've been a customer for so long, don't you have any specials for us?" "No," they said. "Sorry." I said adios amigos and started my search.

I wallked the malls for three hours doing comparative shopping for phones and plans and decided upon Verizon for the service and the LG VX3200 for my phone. The phone is really high tech looking and stylish with a gray/blue cover. The buttons are well laid out and big to make calling and punching in information a breeze. The striking thing about this unit is the very bright colorful lighted keys. They are all in a brilliant bright blue with one in red and one in green. You won't have any problems seeing this in lighted areas. One of the best things about this phone is the easy menu system. You will be able to navigate to all the various features in this phone without much difficulty, unlike other phone models. The LCD screen is quite bright and you can select different 'wallpaper' for it. The ring tones are varied which gives you a good selection to choose from. The scheduler program is very easy to use and I now leave my Palm Pilot behind now. I can do much of the things I want to on the LG instead. You can jot notes on the LG, set alarms, set reminders, log telephone numbers, and customize just about anything you want. On my old V60, I used the voice recognition feature to call numbers, but it was inaccurate and I soon dropped using this feature. On the LG, the voice activated feature is astoundingly accurate. I find this feature really useful when I have to make a phone call and can't punch the numbers in manually.

The LG VX32000, paired with Verizon wireless service, is a sure winner. As soon as the phone was activated, I was getting much superior signal strength compared to my old T-mobile plan and Motorola V60. I found myself mimicking the Verizon commercial my friend "Can you hear me now?" The commercials are true. You really can get reception in places you couldn't before. I was very pleased with this. The customer service is excellent. The speaker phone and ear speaker volume are excellent and very loud. You'll find yourself actually turning down the volume in stead of trying to max it out as with other phones. One minor complaint is the sound quality of the ear speaker. It is clear, and it is sharp, but just a bit on the tinny side of tone quality. I'm probably a little picky on this but it bothers me just a tad.

Operating this phone is quite easy and intuitive. I spent about fifteen minutes with the phone and was able to familarize myself with most of the basic functions without looking at the manual. The manual is quite intimidating as there are charts and schematics galore, but the actual operation of the phone is much easier than the printed instructions. I use it more as a reference rather than an instuction manual. The manual, while colorful, is incomplete and somewhat hard to find the info you need. There is an index, but it is incomplete. Good thing that the phone is so easy to use, otherwise, the manual wouldn't be much of a help.

The LG is well made, easy to use, light, good styling, and has good battery life. I am very pleased with this phone. It has everything that I need and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. If you are looking for a good color flip phone, I would say the LG is one to consider. Also, if you are looking for a new wireless phone service, I would also recommmend Verizon very highly. They have great plans and their customer service is very professional and friendly. Reception signal is two to three times stronger with Verizon than when I was with T-mobile. Amazing. I would give the LG a rating of 4 1/2 stars and Verizon a solid 5.

Summary: Good phone, terrible Verizon service
Review: This phone has adequate features, good battery life, and is easy to use and compact. Verizon's cell coverage has been good. However, my experience signing up and dealing with Verizon was astoundingly bad.

It took ten days of wrangling with the retailer, Verizon's store, Verizon's phone support, and Verizon's email support to get my phone activated and working, and I saw amazing incompetence at every stage. My attempt to port my old phone number to the new phone was futile, despite their assurances that it was easy, and I ended up having to change numbers. After the phone was working, it took another ordeal to access my account online.

What was especially infuriating is that Verizon employees were rude and completely unapologetic, and refused to make any compensatory gesture (free airtime, a car charger, etc.) to make up for my ordeal. On the contrary, they demanded a second activation fee to restart the activation, which failed again. After I'd been standing around the Verizon store for two hours as they tried to figure out how to activate my phone, an employee said to me "I'm off now and I just want to go home." Verizon's company slogan is, of course, "We never stop working for you." It took some restraint to keep from re-enacting a scene from "The Sopranos".

Summary: WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
Review: wow, amazing phone!!! i got this phone for my 14 birthday, and i love it! i have many very roudy friends, who always use it... and drop it i might add, and so far it has'nt broken or anything. I am completley amazed with the quality, and all the funn things you can do, like, download awesome ringtones! the only flaw that i have regonized, is that when im in a building with hardly any windows in it, it doesnt get very good reception. Other than that, its great. Its very slim and modern and fits in the smallest purses i have and, also, my pocket(no, it doesnt bulge out, and look very odd). I would definatly recomend this phone for anyone, be it roudy, or not!
