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.
