Great Features and Great Price, September 28, 2007
I just purchased this phone with a new contract and I'm glad I did. The features available on the Trax are great. Not to mention call quality is really good. I live where towers can be few and far between and haven't run into any problems yet. Everything is really easy to use as well. With a lot of other phones a software pack and usb adapter are needed just to use the MP3 function. With the trax all you do is drag and drop your MP3's the phone itself with the mini sd inserted in the phone. A pc operating on Windows will pick up your phone right away without any hassle of installing it. And with the unlimited media package from the provider you have tons of news, sports, and music videos right in your hands. And without some of the features being locked out, like some providers like to do, you can personalize your phone with ringtones from your music selection(with a little editing to shorten the length anything under a minute should do fine), and assign pictures or gifs for wallpaper. You can even make your own gifs with the phone by using the pictures you put on it.
The phone itself is almost the perfect size, and with just enough weight. With smaller phones the keys can be a pain to use, and one of my only complaints about this phone is that the keys are kind of hard to tell apart when not looking directly at them. A little practice may be needed to dial without looking down. My only other complaint is not being able to choose the folder you want to play from while using the MP3 player while the phone is closed.

Great Phone for the Most Part, November 5, 2007
I just bought this phone yesterday for use on AT&T service and it is terrific. I really like the design. The aluminum finish gives it a nice profesional looking design. It also has a very nice screen. I really like how you can start the music player wtihout opening phone and how you can take self-portrait photos using the screen. The phone is also nice and thin.
The phone looks very nice when you open it up. There is a large screen inside that is great for the numerous video features. However, one design complaint is definitely the keypad. I am a frequent texter, and the keys are really cramped together and totally flat so it is really hard to text quickly.
This phone has great features! It even supports the new cellular video service where you can watch streaming news and sports clips wherever you are. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical being that I do not live in a 3G area. However, clips only took about 10 seconds to load which is incredibly fast for edge. This phone is also great for music. There is a pretty funky scroll pad on the front, which acts as music controls when the phone is closed. This is better than that of the samsung sync, another at&t music phone, because you can feel it when you touch the pad because it is tactile, while with the sync the buttons are the same material as the phone itself.
Besides the keypad, I have a few minor complaints. I wish that lg would use a standard 3.5 mm or even 2.5 mm headset jack instead of their own special one. If you really want to listen to music on this as I do, you have to go out and spend money on additional headphones while normally you have a regular pair lying around anyway. Also, lg should have used a mini-usb jack to connect to your computer so that you could just use a cord that probably came with your digital camera or something like that.
All in all, the lg trax is a great phone. Nothing feature or performance wise is bad with this phone. There are simply a few design issues to clear up, most of which do not affect the performance of the phone. (except the keyboard) If you are looking for a new at&t phone with all the features and you do not want a razr like everyone else has, I would go with the lg trax.

Excellent phone, October 13, 2007
I purchased this phone, from AT&T because it was sleek and professional looking. After bringing it home and playing with its features, I am quite pleased with my purchase. This LG has a far more logical interface than the Motorola Razr, and has a superior response time, as well. The music player on it is easy to operate, but no replacement by any means for a standalone MP3 player. The voice quality is exceptional, compared to the Razr. It's new to me but so far I am getting really good battery life. The brushed aluminum front gives it a unique and attractive exterior, the screen size is average, which I prefer as it prevents battery drain. The keypad size is nice, I can text without hitting surrounding buttons on accident. I recommend this phone, to anyone who needs a professional looking device, with fun extras, like internet, but doesn't need the functions of a PDA
