Good Phone But Not Quite a 5 Star Winner....Yet!

Looks good but features are ok
I recently bought this phone for my cousin. While the looks of the phone are good. I was surprised to see that it does not have many features/applications. the interface is alright as well. not too great.

Good Phone But Not Quite a 5 Star Winner....Yet!, May 6, 2008
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
Good Phone But Not Quite a 5 Star Winner....Yet!
I love Samsung phones and really haven't been impressed with LG's lineup whatsoever. So i've opted to stay away from any of their phones, up until now. They definitely seem to be churning out the phones at a more rapid pace then their competitors and they even come up with very clever designs. But as unique as the designs are it never seems to come close enough to get the cigar or win me over.
The LG VU920 (Includes TV feature) which the LGVU915 doesn't. I purchased the LGVU920 from Radio Shack one day when i was browsing and only did this because the phone was free. To my surprise after playing with it in the store i was actually pleased. The phone comes with ear phones which the 915 doesn't. Also the 920 has a TV feature which lets you watch TV In real time but only has a few channels at this time and it will cost an extra $15.00 per month for the TV data plan.
The phone is actually very easy to use. The touch screen is pretty solid but doesn't operate as fluid as the iPhone. But it does come pretty close. The touch screen has haptic feedback so whenever you touch an option it will vibrate a little to confirm the selection. The one thing i liked most about the iPhone was that you could watch YouTube video clips. Another shocker was so can the LGVU. Once again it's not as crisp & sharp as the iPhone but it's just as good. The iPhone does have one of the prettiest & sharpest screens on the planet but it will suffice. This phone also has many features that the iPhone doesn't. For one you can send MMS & Video Messages. Which is something the iPhone can't do and still can't do even with the new release. The phone also has a camcorder feature which the iPhone doesn't. I was hoping for a 5.0 mega pixel and above but will settle for the 2.0 standard that seems to be dominating the US. The poor battery life which everyone is complaining about is true. The phone is super thin so i didn't expect the battery life to be that long. Then again all my other flip phones seem to last the same amount of time as the LG VU. So, i'm not sure what other phones everyone else had before this, but my usual battery life on a cell is about 2 days with minimal use, internet, talk time, messaging, etc. I have a few complaints as well. The ear phone's are not 3.5MM so you can't just plug in any old ear phones. The ear phone slot is also where the charger jack is so you cant do both at the same time. For some strange reason the phone can not be on and charged at the same time, which is beyond annoying. Also when it's charging there is nothing that appears on screen to indicate if it's fully charged or not, which is another annoying flaw. But your best bet is to get a spare charger to carry around with you. Another complaint is that the Micro SD slot is located underneath the sim card so it's another nuisance to have to lift the back casing in order to access the SD slot. The phone also includes a full HTML browser so you can see websites as they would appear on your computer screen. Don't expect the Safari browser on this device but its pretty good none the less. Also you can use a stylus cause peoples fingers do tend to be a bit larger & can hit accidental keys by accident. You also get a full qwerty keyboard in landscape mode for sending text & MMS which the iphone doesn't have. The design is also the same material used on the Samsung Blackjack 2 (Black) so it does attract a lot of finger prints. Aside from those minor flaws here is to hoping the next model is leaps and bounds above the already fantastic LG VU. Overall i am very pleased with my purchase and for free, who can complain?

LOVE IT, October 25, 2008
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
LG VU got style and performance. I mean whatever you want in a phone LG VU deliver. Easy to operate and the screen lock is perfect for touch phone operation. More room for music with the micro card.

Great Phone!, June 13, 2008
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
Although some claim that LG is copying Samsung with this design, it seems as though it is the other way around. The Instinct will have a nearly identical design and, as you can see, will release after this one (because this one already has). It has a great interface and the haptic touch is great.

crappiest phone ever, July 20, 2009
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I hate it, and now I hate LG. Phone broke after a month, they sent a new one out, that was broken when they sent it to me, sent that one back, finally got one that worked, and it sucked. User interface is terrible, typing sucks, qwerty sucks, the entire phone is crap and the company is terrible as well. LG wouldn't stand by their product, and so att had to send us new ones. I hate it, and I will never, not ever own another LG product in my entire life. I hope they go out of business.

Product not reliable, November 11, 2008
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I had this LG CU915 VU cell phone for less than a week and it just stopped working right in the middle of a call...so I returned it, only to receive what I think was the same phone only refurbished, that reacted in the same way after only 3 days of light use. I liked the phone, but too bad it's preformance wasn't up to par.

Not happy with product or service at all, August 27, 2008
This review is from: LG Vu CU915 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I ordered a tv phone but what i received was a video phone, i had no way of exchanging this wrongly delivered product nor did i recieve any assistance. I had to cancel my service with AT&T then reorder, AT&T refused giving me new service, I now have no TV phone or service but a big bill and no refund from AMAZON.COM WHO would not accept responsibility for their mistake. be very careful when ordering if the wrong product is shipped to you, even if its not your fault you must pay for return shipping and you may loose your account as i did. I never had a chance to use the Phone.
