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!

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.

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.
