Acton Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:14:55 +0000 http://www.mobiles22.com/lg-lotus-lx600-phone-black#comment-762 I originally bought the LG Lotus in March. That phone would never allow updates, and unlike all the other cell phones I've had since buying my house, this phone only rang half of the time. I brought it in to find out what was wrong, and the Sprint store said it was faulty. They ordered me a replacement, which I found out upon arrival was a refurb, which I immediately could tell did not work. The earpiece had some plastic part stuck and I could barely hear callers, as well as the keyboard's "p" not working. They ordered me another one, which was brand new, and it works ok, but not as well as it should. I still miss half the calls placed to this phone (I only know this because of the number of voicemails I get without the phone ever ringing.) I'm very frustrated with it for missed calls. Other than that, it's really great for texting. The internet is alright. I will not get another, and I will get a new phone as soon as my plan allows. I do not recommend this phone.

Reviews were good...etc. After having it for almost a month, today I'm exchanging it for a blackberry. Theres just little things about it that irks me. <br /> <br />-The volume is not loud enough for me at all <br />-Theres a delay on the keypad or whatever. It takes too long for me to exit apps like facebook. <br />-The shortcut youtube icon does not work right so I go to youtube on opera mini <br />-Most of the time I can't watch long youtube vids and sometime the phone just shuts down while I'm tryin to watch a vid. <br />-Sometimes the phone just shuts down period <br />-My picture mail comes in all funny and you CAN'T get moving pictures aka gifs. So animations will come in like stills.You won't get the joke. lol <br />-For some reason I can't download songs from my mac itunes but maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. <br />-Theres a delay when texting. If you a pro texter like me, you WILL be annoyed!! <br />-Texts come out like a thread for each contact(this maybe a pro for you but its a con for me) <br />-I've had more calls drop on this phone than I ever had on any phone <br />-Receiver volume way too low for me. Bad ears maybe? lol <br />-The phone is a lil too slim for me but I like bulky phones. <br />-The phone flashes for nothing. The music buttons just flash while phone is closed and it doesn't mean you got a message <br />-Have not been able to use it as a modem on my mac. Not sure if its even mac friendly <br />-Battery life is VERY short. I have to charge it at least twice a day and I don't even use the internet on it that much at all. <br /> <br />Here are the PROS <br />-Awesome camera/camcorder. Its very CLEAR. <br />-querty keyboard is nice. I can type fast on it. Its fat finger friendly. <br />-Screen is a nice size also <br />-Its a flip phone(main reason why I got it) <br />-If you get this DEFINITELY download opera mini (its awesome) <br />-It is easy to access your email <br />-Internet speed isn't that bad <br />-It has a nice notepad app <br />-The carousel comes in handy sometimes <br /> <br />I use to have a sanyo 7500 and that phone was PERFECT. <br /> <br />If the cons I listed don't bother you AND you really want this phone, get the phone. BUT if you are looking for an entertainment purpose phone get the IPHONE. Biggest mistake I made was renewing with my current service and not getting the phone I really wanted. I'm a youtube junkie so it would only make since to get the iphone. The lotus is NOT the IPHONE. I thought it would be a mixture between the blackberry and the IPHONE. NOT!! <br />These are real issues. My real opinion. If you get this phone, believe me you'll have these issues too. Rating: 3 / 5 Ok, I fell in love with this phone when I first saw it.

Stored a few pics but never used pic. mail. After only 4 months, it failed to start up this morning. Took it for diagnostic test & was told I need a new phone but they didn't tell me what caused it to kill over. My replacement phone should arrive in 3-4 days but I hope that it is not a lemon as well. The guy @ Sprint told me they get alot of Lotus phones in for repairs.(not good) Rating: 3 / 5 Never dropped it, kept a protective rubber cover on it & only used it for calls & texting(by the way, there is a delay in texting which is frustrating.)

The phone works great at first but eventually the screen will start distorting until it is unusable. Search around, this is a common problem with this model. The LG warranty is nearly worthless, as they don't understand that many people now ONLY have cell phones. They want you to send you phone in for 2 weeks. And if they replace it, they give you a used one. Rating: 1 / 5 I have had 2 lotuses go bad on me in under 6 months.

Went to a nearby sprint store and still thought it looked funny but the functionality of this phone is sick! Gps, email, texting, internet, phone - it gives my wife's blackberry curve some serious competition. And the menus and options for every feature are very well thought out and executed. Give this one a serious look even if your friends make fun of you for having a 'chick phone'. I've even grown to like the chunkiness of it.
