Pros: Color screen, polyphonic ringtones, very portable.
Cons: Heats quickly, low battery, few features, no camera, no speakerphone, NOT A GOOD DEAL
The Bottom Line: Do not waste money on this phone, Pay $50 more and get a SANYO 8100.

| NetGuy87's Full Review: LG LX5350 |
I purchased this product in February of 2003, and i wish i never had. The phone has the "cababilities" that Sprint claims it has, though you might as well spend the money on a more practical item.
As a first time color internet phone user, the first few weeks of having my phone seemed incredible. The sky is the limit with sprint's new bright and shiny network. I purchased my phone from Radio Shack for only $50, normally $100 but i got a $50 promotional instant rebate.
After comparing my LG 5350 to the SANYO 8100 which only cost $50 more, i was shocked. I immediately upgraded to a SANYO 8100. The LG has poor reception. It has a minimal screen that is color but has many vision problems. Most websites will not load because the LG has an older, less compatible internet browser. Basically, you're paying extra money each month to have mobile internet and you can only go to the mobile sprint site, and maybe ebay if it's a good day. The phone heats up while in use also.
The battery life is horrible, much less then the box tells you. After two hours standby max it is already half out of battery.
There is no speakerphone, only an option on more classy cellular phones. There is also no camera to take pictures, and the other features are very limited. The camera is the whole reason itself to pay for Vision internet. If you cannot send pictures, why pay so much for internet?
The phone is fine for maybe teenagers who want to be able to say they have a "color phone". For everyone else, pay the extra $50 and get a nice clean Sanyo 8100 with built in camera, i did it and it's by far the best phone i have ever had, and the internet speed is TONS faster, and it has a camera.
