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.

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.

Quite simply, this is the best phone I have ever owned. My most recent phone before this was a Sony Ericsson T610, before that a Motorola V.66 and V.60. I've also had a few Nokia phones.

LG doesn't have the same reputation as Sony Ericsson or Nokia, but their user interface is at least as good. This phone is marketed as a "kid phone", but I am a 40 year old techno-geek and I love it. If you are over camera phones and just want a small, light, well-designed phone with an amazing battery life and speakerphone, this is it.

The only thing missing here is Bluetooth, but I can still synch with my Macintosh using Susteen's DataPilot software and cable. The speakerphone more than makes up for it, and is excellent. This is a three-band phone and even works on analog, so you get the widest coverage possible.

Very good phone. Small, battery lasts a week, usable Schedule, loud speaker mode, good vibration mode, very easy to use. The only thing I didn't like for the first time about this phone was no customization of ringtone, wallpaper. Hopefully after making some investigation and despite answer from Verizon and other cell authorities that it is not possible, I found solutions to customize ringtone, wallpaper in this phone. Now I am fully satisfied with this phone. The software for this phone is at:

I like this phone because it is small ad easy to carry. It is also very durable. This phone costs 10 bucks when you sign up. TEN BUCKS! DIRT CHEAP! You almost always have some connection. I was in near a dam in the middle of no-where and I coul still call my dad! But it is lacking Virizon's ring tone service, Get It Now. To get a ring tone you must go on the internet to www.vtext.com, pick a ring tone, pay for it, and pay for the TXT message. It's not that bad, but you have a very limited amount of tones, where on Get it now you have thousands of tones. All the phones are Pollyphonic which really sucks. The upside is you can make a request for a song or Artist and they will see what they can do. Lets look at the pros and cons!

Pros
-Great service
-Looks good
-Durable
-Cheap
-good button placement

Cons
-No tone service on phone
-Limited tones

Overall a good phone.

I have had this phone for the past one month and have been really pleased with it. I felt compelled to write a review as I had loooked at the ratings on this page when i was looking at cell phone deals. Its terrific no hassels whatsoever and very user friendly. I got my mail-in rebate within a month
cheers

Okay ----- so there are no bells and whistles on this phone - no camera, little data options, etc

However, it does what cell phone should do, which is ----- it has terrifc voice quality, both on the receiving end and on the outbound side

I am also very impressed with the phone's durability - it is made of plastic, but it would be very very very hard to damage this phone

and lastly, it does have a jack for headsets, and the headsets all seem to work excellently off of this phone

in some cases, you could even get this phone for FREE when signing up ---- anyhoo, if you need a phone on the cheap, then look no further than this one!

This is the best compact flip-phone I have ever owned. I have had more expensive phones with additional bells and whistles, but this one blows them away.
Very durable. Have dropped numerous times.
Excellent reception. Good speaker phone (could be a bit louder, but not bad), Excellent text message capability.
Excellent for the price.

Phone works great, and is tri-mode, important for those who live in rural areas. I miss very much the outside screen that my prior LG had. I would like to be able to tell who is calling (and what time it is) without opening the phone. Also, one small annoyance (and I suppose I will eventually get used to it), is that if I call someone and hang up, I can not immediately call someone else without pressing end twice.

What a great phone. It does everything a cell phone is supposed to do: provide an easy to use interface, offer great sound, and offer good battery life. It doesn't have many features that many people will deem "necessary," but if you're looking for a cell phone that performs as it's purpose was intended (AS A PHONE), then this phone is hard to beat. The only thing I miss is a front display, but that's only a small issue.
