Horrible battery life!

User Score: 2.png I really wish I had found this site before I bought TWO CU500's off Ebay. The reviews I read on another site were good. I like the phone and it's features EXCEPT the battery dies after a few calls, which makes it almost useless. I exchanged one of the phones thinking it was defective, but apparently almost ALL of them are defective when it comes to battery life. I bought a new battery and same story - will not hold a charge. Very disappointed that I threw my money away on two of these phones.

Not a very good phone

User Score: 4.png I've had my phone for 2 years. I bought a microSD card for it which it has not been able to read. Frequently I don't know I have a call until I get notice of a voice mail. This may be due to using vibrate function mostly, but it's not good at letting you know it's ringing. The camera is OK, but it's almost impossible to get the pics off the phone. My contract is up and I'm looking for a (non-LG) replacement.

Poor battery life. Not good outside AT&T

User Score: 2.png I charged the phone for 24 hrs as directed. The battery will go dead after one call of 15 minutes or less. If you then turn it off and back on a few minutes later, the charge meter shows almost a full charge. I guess the chip on the battery that is touted in the phone description has bugs. How should I know whether a replacement battery will work any better?

I bought this unlocked, but despite all the efforts of the tech support team of the carrier where I use it, we cannot get multimedia messaging set up, so that good camera is useless.

Buy something else.

DON'T BUY

User Score: 4.png I have had this phone for a year and a half now and it seems like there's been continuous problems. The phone is in good condition (no water damage) but it looses calls. Whenever I loose reception I have to keep turning my phone off and on to get it to work correctly. The buttons have also started to not work. If you're going to spend money then spend it on a better phoneâ…preferably not an LG.

Could be better

User Score: 2.png I have had the phone for over a year and a half now. The phone has poor reception (fewer bars) although sitting right next to another phone from the same network having full 5 bars. Moreover, whenever the phone changes between the Edge to GPRS network, it drops its signal to zero bars and then gets full bars gain. Poor reception as compared with the cheaper phones.
