Best phone I've owned to date

by pianoman41 , Mar 28 '03
Pros: Excellent color screen, decent OEM battery life (for a color phone)
Cons: Ringers can be distorted, unless you hack it, prepare to pay Verizon for options
My Cell Phone History: I've had cell phones since the late 80s (back when they were the size of a two-way radio). The VX4400 is my first color phone and my second LG phone. It is replacing my current LG TM510 (another very good phone).

Pros: Color screen, line quality, ringtones, alarm clock features, stylish and modern phone!
Cons: NO GAME! Guidebook isn't very thorough, numberpad clumsy to work with.
So far, the LG VX4400 is the best phone I've had so far. This is my 5th phone since I started my cell phone service in 1998. I tend to change my mind often about the phones, not to mention how technology changes after a year of having a phone. I have a ...

Purchased two VX4400Bs. The phone has more features than we need. We don't do the Web. We have had Nokias and Motorolas including the Motorola V60i. This is the better phone. It took a few moments to figure out the Menu system but once I did, I found it ...

This phone is an interesting creature. I upgraded from a Motorola T720 (meaning I switched cell phone carriers), and chose the VX 4400 because it had two of the main things I wanted in a cell phone: the flip-open design and a colour screen. On the ...

I believe this is now my 5th cell phone, and by far the best and most useful. First of all its color, you can put pictures on it, and change to ringers to suit your likings. Text messages from certain people can have different tones as well as different...

by dexter555 , Jun 24 '04
Pros: Display, looks, battery life
Cons: Fails to charge, silences itself randomly, lousy ringtones, too big

THIS IS POSSIBLY THE WORST PHONE
by tennisman29021 ,Apr 26 '06
Pros: NONE WHATSOEVER
Cons: Functionality, Battery Life, Construction, Software, Lack of Features, Poor Antenna, Extremely thick
This was my first cell phone......luckily not the last. This phone lacks many, many features like camera, AIM, email, EV connectivity, bluetooth, MP3 player, Vcast - to name a few. Structurally, this phone is amazingly weak. It feels as if i could break the screen by only slightly bending it. Luckily, I had insurance on this phone because when it broke (hardware or software) I returned it. I ended up getting 4 others. The antenna is also extremely weak, structurally and functionally. The front speakers also blew out from using its own ringtones on the highest volume.

Overall, This is the worst phone. I was forced to wait until my contract was up to get my new one, the LG vx9800....which I extremely recommend.

This cell phone will fit anyone, from the teenager of the house, to the ever-shopping mother. It is easy to use, and once you are used to it, calls are a snap. It can take a beating, as long as you don't send it into the washing machine. LCD display is nice, and it has a long battery life. Don't sweat when you drop it here and there, it can take a little of that.

This was my first real phone. I was the last one of my friends to get one so i have a lot to compare it to.

Pros: Color phone, easy phonebook, text messaging, web (easy to use), You get one free ringtone download, easy to customize, very few lost calls, can take a beating ( threw it around like my car keys), can download whatever song you want with GET IT NOW (ringtones, wallpapers), voice dialing, easy to figure out all options, good service,

cons: Ringtones stink, downloads for ringtones are expensive, headset volume could be louder, Ringer could be louder, ringer and vibrate don't work together, recharger doesn't have more than 9 monthes of life, need to get another charger, cheap belt clip, antenna easily broken,

Pros: Free with some plans
Cons: Fragile, poor sound, low battery life, etc.
I'm an engineer that studies product failure. The battery, keypad, antenna, screen, and speaker all failed to an either moderate or complete degree. There must be some defect somewhere in the manufacturing process for 3 of them to fail in 6 months. I have also tested and owned Nokia phones that have received 10 times the abuse and remained near perfect!

by akurlan82 ,Apr 25 '06
Pros: Small, flip phone, easy to use
Cons: Doesn't have a lot of extras like a camera phone
This has been the best phone I've ever had. I purchased mine over two years ago and have dropped it loads of times. It is still in great condition. I have never had problems with it. The battery still lasts a decent amount of time (I do generally charge it in the car in between but considering its age, not bad). I just recently bought another battery for it for $13 and it's back to being like new. I bought another phone somewhat recently to try out - brand new and it's battery didn't last as long as the two year old one for my LG VX4400.

The reception is almost always good and I can hear everyone clearly.

by rhosymynydd ,Aug 08 '05
Pros: pics;video;testing;extra service numbers
Cons: mobile charging apparatus has to be manufacturers own
This was my first foray into the world of mobile phones and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did not need a child to interpret the handbook or phone for me. Simple instructions, easy to follow and great back up from the manufacturers on any problems.

I really enjoy using the separate functions, taking pics and videos everywhere and sending emails when I am on the go. I would recommend this phone to any would-be buyer as simple, inexpensive (in comparison with others) and fun to use. If I can do it at 50 then I am sure there a lot of other people out there who can.

Not a bad phone
by cole12885 ,Jul 20 '05
Pros: Color screen, easy menu
Cons: Vibrate/Ring function and screen
I purchased this phone about two years ago. At the time, it was among a new trend of color screens, so I was very happy. The menu was easy to use, and colorful graphics guided me through the menu. The phone has the volume control on the side of the phone, which is handy. It also has a button on the side that will switch from Normal Mode to Vibrate to Silent. This was a plus, because the phone I had before this you had to access this feature in the menu. The only bad thing I can say is that if you would turn the volume on Ring and Vibrate, the phone would only vibrate and never ring. Also, after a year of having this phone the screen started doing weird things like looking like a fuzzy TV, so I returned it within warranty and got a new model of the same phone. Since then, I have had it for a year and had no problems with the new one.

by lynno62 ,Nov 20 '04
Pros: snappy little phone, i like the color screen, i really like the voice dialing.
Cons: the voice dialing sometimes is a little sluggish, but still i like it.
well i have had this phone for a little over a week, I have had the battery down to 1 line and put it on the charge and was still able to use the phone. I were it on my belt clip everyday in and out of cars,desk chairs,forktrucks,and machines all day everyday, have only had the side keys change 1 time and that was to manner mode. which is vibrate, when i got the phone i did not get a manual but from what i read here it is to complacated anyway. i went to yahoo groups vx4400 and find help on what manner mode was. so far i am very happy with the phone, recpetion calls, ringtones. if anything changes on this my opion of this phone i will update this, but so far am very happy with the phone and service.

by raypendergraph ,Jan 28 '04
Pros: Good features, operationally sound, good battery life
Cons: Text browser, ringer bug
This phone is very user friendly and feature rich. Without writing a speech this is a great phone. Battery life *fantastic*, especially when in a Verizon 1x area. Menus are nice and easy to navigate. I do use the phone to check my Yahoo! email and thats working out good. The text browser is.... well, a text browser. What can i say, use it if ya have to. So if your interested in web surfing for fun on the phone this one's not for you. This phone displays 10 lines of text as opposed to 7 like many other text phones. The only software bug I have found so far is when the ringer is set to "Vib and High" it just vibrates.

by kevs2fast4u ,Jan 20 '04

Cons: Faceplates aren't easily changable
I owned this phone for over 6 months and loved it. I have Verizon and recently upgraded to the LG Picture phone(VX6000) and gave my father my LG-VX4400. I loved this phone but wanted the picture capabilites so I upgraded. Color phone with an external LCD screen with Time, date and number display. This phone is great, you have so many features on this phone it is hard to know where to start. It has a Calander similar to a PDA which you can set alerts and other features for meetings and appointments. The phone book can store all your numbers that you ever need including email addresses as well, you can have different ringtones for groups or individuals. A detailed break down of minutes used on the timers for home and roaming minutes. It has the mobile web and get it now features what are really cool, you can download applications for ringtones and all kinds of different applications. It also has a tip calculator as well as a regular calculator and world clock. I loved this phone and hated to give it up.

by tayten98 ,Mar 22 '04
Pros: It's 99.9% perfect
Cons: speaker tends to have too much treble & hurts my ear
I did lots of research before buying this phone therefore I knew what I was getting what I got it!

I was thoroughly surprised at how easy this phone was to use. I didn't even need the manual...I just started pressing buttons & figured it out on my own...my theory: "if I can figure it out on my own relatively quickly, then it's a good phone," and it was.

A lot of folks complained about the manual but I found it very descriptive.

I love the sleekness, the design, the feel, the screen....I am 99.9% happy with it.

Most Durable Phone Ever
by stareyedgirl ,Apr 16 '04
Pros: You can't kill it
Cons: ???
I have had this phone for almost a year now, and I love it. But what's more, it is the most durable little thing on the planet. I've dropped it numerous times, it's been sat on kicked and once I even dropped it in a puddle. I thought for sure that time it would be dead and I'd have to get a new one, but nope. I took the battery out dried it off and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Many people commented on how it's a fragile little thing so I felt I had to write to say, no indeed it is not fragile and if you had put the phone to the same abuse I have you would know that. I think that many people think of it as fragile because it's so small, but I've known people that dropped their phone once and it never worked right again. My best friend, one other friend and I all have these phones and all agree that they will probably last forever.

Excellent Phone - Limited Manual
by chasdsuitt ,Jan 23 '04
Pros: Great displays, lighted keys, reasonable battery life, comfortable and substantial feel in hand.
Cons: Poor manual and sketchy information on some settings
I have had excellent reception in the Dallas Texas area, no calls dropped. Navigating through the menus is instinctive and more than adequate choices are provided even though explanation of some functions is sketchy or simply not present (Auto Volume for example). Battery life seems limited but workable. This phone is stylish. I love the choice of Speed Dials or Voice Dialing. Some advance planning of Phone Book entries is a good idea for the Speed and Voice dialing functions.

Pros: nice color screen. small size. can download different tones, pics, etc.
Cons: can not talk without taking holster off. battery dies easily from talking to much.
i bought this phone from Verizon. i have had no trouble with the service. the phone works great. it has cool features plus you can download games, tones, pics, etc. the battery is good but it will die if you talk a lot. i know because i do tons of talking on nights and weekends which is free time for me. the screen is bright and clear. the sub LCD screen on the front has the time and date which is nice. one cool thing about the front LCD screen is you can change the standby color. just kinda cool. a quality phone and i would recommend it highly. it is both digital and analog and also has GPS for the 911 service if so needed. you cant kill this thing. barring dropping it in the toilet it will not break.

I have always wanted a flip phone especially since most people u see today have flip phones. They fit wherever u want them too and pick up and hang up so easily. You can easily ignore a call by pressing the side buttons. I get a lot of compliments on my phone because of the cool colors and cool pictures I can download on my phone.

Well, if this phone is so good why my phone keeps freezing (Maybe Mr. Gate created the software for it), shuts down on its own (maybe the cell-phone ghost doesn't like me), resets while I'm on a call (wait my ears are SO big I may be pushing the secret reset code). Today I will get my fifth phone, please wish me luck. Maybe I'm lucky enough to get the one you all are saying is a great phone!

Great Phone
by s_seidel ,Jan 10 '05
Pros: Durability Battery life Clarity and signal
Cons: Vibration mode is not strong enough
I have owned both a LG TM510 and VX4400 and purchased a VX3200 for my son. I would never buy another brand. These phones are as sturdy as my first Motorola Brick from more than 10 years ago. I've dropped them, banged them and even drowned them and they keep on ticking.

Slick Phone, Poor Reception
by joannabenz ,Oct 22 '03
Pros: Flip phone, easy menus, attractive, games
Cons: Really, really weak reception! Can't talk while charging.
The LG VX4400 is a beautiful looking phone, with lots of bells and whistles. I tried it in Colorado Springs, CO, using Verizon. Even in a large city, with few obstacles, I could not use this phone in my own house because the other party could not hear and understand me.

Switched over to the new Motorola T730, which has similar bells and whistles, and is ALSO a great looking flip phone, like the LG. Much better performance now.

You might be happy with this LG phone if Verizon has excellent cell towers in your area... but I know that other people have also complained about its poor reception, so my advice is to stay away.

Incidentally, you cannot talk on this phone or answer this phone while it is charging (unlike Motorola phones). If its dead, you simply have to wait for it to recharge before you can use it at all.

And the phone sticks in the charger, making it even more difficult to disconnect and try to answer the phone quickly. If you're slow at grabbing phone calls, this is a big problem!

Good phone, a little outdated vs VX6000
by dnp4466000 ,Dec 16 '03
Pros: nice simple messaging features, excellent color display, reasonable battery life
Cons: 1) only 199 phone book entries 2)No built-in speakerphone? 3)VX6000 out there
The LG vx4440 is clearly for busy people: No fla-fla, straight to the point, a graphic internet browser with a color display, voice notes, and a strong built with good sound quality. But I don't understand why they didn't kick in a built-in speakerphone, the feature of choice for businesspeople in a world where legislators are putting bans on phone use while driving. And why just 200 phone book entries in a market where 500 is the trend? These are the two main flaws that I see, which doesn't mean the LG vx4400 isn't good. If you're not the most demanding business user around, getting a good price and a good service plan with the vx4400 may be just what you need. But also consider other options such as the Sanyo SCP-4900 or Nextel's i95cl.
Another alternative is the new VX6000 which excells in display quality, speed you get built-in camera.

Do not buy LG phones
by somewhat ,Aug 10 '04
Pros: everything is good except for the battery.
Cons: Battery will break off easily, Battery is of poor quality
LG designed their batteries so that the two little plastic notches holding the battery on to the phone will break off easily, thus making it so the consumer will have to keep buying batteries. Furthermore, the battery life is short, and the battery has to be replaced after about a hundred charges. Don't buy LG phones!

Excellent Handset
by swimlaps123 ,Dec 04 '03
Pros: Lightweight, great screen resolutoin, logical menu and navigation.
Cons: Battery life needs to be extended (but still better than many competing phones).
This phone from Verizon in NYC metro area was an excellent replacement for my wife's StarTac (when we dropped Sprint). Screen resolution is excellent (albeit small font for users with limited eyesight), menus and command navigation are well-thought out. My wife (primary user) loves the voice command function, especially for dialing. Receiver sensitivity and transmission power seem adequate (former provides good audio quality; latter is dependent on VZ's tower network). Standard battery life could be longer, but overall is sufficient for a day of *moderate* mobile use. Surprise to see so many Korean companies making top-line consumer electronic goods: looks like LG (and Samsung) will give the Japanese and Nokia a run for this market!

Too many gimmicks
by jbutler003 ,Jan 28 '04
Pros: Nice size, clear screen.
Cons: No simple ring tones; can't turn wallpaper off; battery life nowhere near what they claim.
I had high expectations of this phone since it was rated so high by Consumer reports. I was disappointed by the sound quality and reception. My old Nokia (which never was rated that well) had much better reception for me.

I wanted a good phone for making phone calls. I did not need the web, the Get It Now stuff the color screen and all the other stuff that was in the phone. I hated the screen. The wallpaper makes the text on the screen near impossible to read at a glance. And, it cannot be disabled. The outer screen is awesome. Well deigned, and clearly displays a lot of info. The inner screen is polluted with too much stuff. How could they do one screen so well and the other so poorly?

The ring tones are all garbage. There is no simple ascending ring tone.

This phone is getting returned. I will keep my lowly rated Nokia. It did phone calls better without all the gimmicks.

Great Phone!
by skf42002 ,Dec 02 '03
Pros: Great sound quality, amazing features
Cons: No speakerphone (not too many flips have it), illogical icon menus, poor manual.
I've only had the phone for 1 day, but so far I am extremely happy with it. My wife commented that the voice quality was much better than the previous phone that I had for 2 week (had to return the Audiovox 8600 for poor signal strength and poor voice quality).

I have a question that hopefully someone could answer. I know that the manufacturer always warns about using third party accessories, but does anyone know where I can get a non OEM car charger that will not damage the phone. I found a retailer at factorydirectcellular.com. I know that they try to appear to sell OEM products which they obviously are not, but does anyone know if their products are good quality that will not damage the phone.

Almost perfect, though unfinished
by ikatsman ,Oct 17 '03
Pros: advanced features, color
Cons: bad holster, software
I've seen MANY phones. LG's 4400 is very good.
As in previous models (tm510 etc) LG managed to overcome some common maker's mistakes. Unlike in Samsung and others, face display is readable without a backlit making the phone perfect watch (though in newer camera model -- 6000 LG trashed it and made front LCD useless)

However, there are some shortcomings:
1) Holster locks screen making it impossible to open phone in the holster.
2) snap-in docking charger is too hard to snap phone
in-and-out. Sometimes battery gets dislodged when removing from docking charger.
3) The worst: SYNC software is bad, not compatible with
previous models(i.e. doesn't syncronize schedule, voice tags)
4) Can't use as modem: unlike tm510 which could be used as regular modem, 4400 requires Verizon's subscription-proprietery software to connect to internet with this phone.
