LG Phone
Very light weight, kind of plasticy, battery seems to last a while before needing to be recharged.

Worst phone ever, June 26, 2010
This review is from: LG Neon GT365 Phone, Gray/Blue (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I might get a little carried away with how much I insult this phone, so bear with me. I assure you I have a factual basis for everything that I say...I'm just a bit frustrated with it. For example, I would like to state at the outset that I can honestly say this is the worst phone that I have ever owned in my entire life (I have owned cell phones all the way back into the early 90s, so this is saying something). This phone might make me go back to carrying change around in my pocket to call people with. This phone might make me ask other people to borrow their phone. This phone has actually made me despair of humanity because I can't believe someone would design such an inept piece of technology to sell to others...Well, okay, that is a little extreme, but you get the idea...
Let me give you some examples. In another review I saw that the reviewer said that the speaker is 'crystal clear' or something to that effect. I strongly, strongly disagree with that statement. First, when I speak to someone on the phone I must hold the phone directly in front of my face to speak to them. This takes the speaker away from my ear so that I cannot hear what they are saying to me...thus leading to a comical situation in which I am forced to move the phone back and forth between my face and my ear (and no, this is NOT a Nextel-like phone where it gives the little beep and is supposed to do this - this phone is designed to be a conventional cell phone, it just doesn't operate like one). Second, when I put it on speaker phone I get the same thing: Either I hold the phone in front of my face to speak to the person (who I can now hear) or else they cannot hear me. Now I ask - why is this? Isn't the point of speaker phone so that you can put the cell phone on your lap and talk? Third, the phone constantly drops calls...though this has nothing to do with service, as I always have bars afterwards (I look - trust me). As such, the only thing I can chalk it up to is that the phone's speaker/audio is giving out at some point in the conversation. Needless to say this has led to a deteriorating relationship between my wife and I - she doesn't hear something I say or I don't hear something she says, and then a fight ensues until we realize, yes, yet again the phone has done this to us...
Is this example not enough? Okay, I have plenty more!
Let me tell you about the camera on it, for instance. If you'll look back up at the picture, you'll see the buttons that have direction arrows around them. Above them is the LG logo, then above that is the AT&T logo. These are oriented towards the viewer, right? When you take a picture with the camera, you assume that you would orient to the words, yes? Wrong. The geniuses that put this camera together decided that when you take a picture using the phone and then attempt to put that picture on as the background that the image should be rotated 90ŗ. This means that if you take a portrait of your kids for the background, the image will now be oriented sideways in the menu background. Additionally, if you want to landscape a photo, you must hold the entire phone upside down to get the picture to turn the right way on the phone.
Now is this really so bad, you ask? Well of course it is! When you go to assign images to the contacts, good luck figuring out how to hold the camera to make the image come out right. I've taken several pictures with the camera to apply to the text/chat feature, and most of them have come out wrong somehow or the other (even knowing how the orientation works!!!). Thus, when I call my mother, her image next to her name is sideways in the phone. Thus it looks like this in my phonebook:
{: Mom
And the buttons are bad too. The reason is this: the menus work so slowly that you push the `read new text' button...And nothing seems to happen. So you push it again. And then suddenly you have sent a blank text to the person whose text you haven't even yet read because the phone updated the screen so very, very slowly. It's not just the text buttons either. I constantly try to anticipate this happening and press a button to go into a menu. Instead of that happening, the phone reads it elsewise and launches an internet browser. Or, worse, it does read it as me trying to navigate a menu, but then the whole phone launches a browser anyways, thereby forcing me to close the menu, cease what I'm doing, and then wait the 20-30 seconds the phone takes to close the internet browser.
So, there you have it: several very good reasons to not ever buy this phone. I hate this phone. I passionately hate this phone, and I want to make sure that someone else doesn't make the mistake of buying it too.

Pretty sweet phone for a GREAT price, March 4, 2010
This review is from: LG Neon GT365 Phone, Gray/Blue (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
UPDATE: I've had this phone for three months now and I still find it to be a fantastic deal! NO PROBLEMS!!! Original review: I'm a long-time AT&T customer whose old phone went bad. Instead of going to the ATT/ripoff artists, I bought this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone. I swapped my old phone's sim card into this GoPhone, turned it on and WOW!!! It instantly hooked up with the ATT network and worked perfectly from the beginning. I received an automated text from ATT that informed me of my existing account being credited with the $50 airtime credit!!! When I went to my account at att, I found that my device had been updated to this phone and a note was on my account explaining the new credit that had been added to my account.
As for the phone itself: The camera works perfectly; the cell's audio is perfect; the bluetooth works perfectly; the slide-out QWERTY keyboard works really well, even with my big, stubby fingers; the phone and its capabilities are very easy to figure out and use - very intuitive; the battery life is exceptionally good - 3 days between charges; the screen is touch with vibration feedback WHEN YOU DIAL and works really well. To top it all off, I put in a 2GB microSD card and now can store a gazillion pics and tunes.
The thing I can't figure out is the criticism of the battery life that I've read in reviews elsewhere. I text with my kids and wife constantly, usually with a picture going or coming; I bluetooth constantly; I make loads of calls a day to/from my customers yet I am only charging this phone every three days or so?!?!? HAH!!! And when this battery starts going bad, I'll go to the net and pick up a new one for next to nothing - what's so hard about that?
My only knock would be the unbelievably cheesy battery/back cover. It is a really flimsy, cheap, thin piece of molded plastic that took several careful attempts to snap it in place. That being said, I've had no problems with it since. Go figure...
Lastly - I HIGHLY recommend this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone to anybody and everybody! And, FYI, Amazon has the lowest price anywhere! Period! As to the problems someone else reviewing this product had, I have NEVER had a single problem with ANY product that I bought on Amazon that wasn't quickly and fairly resolved by Amazon or the vendors that sell through them.
I highly recommend the phone AND Amazon.com.
