Pros: Almost everything! Excellent reception, cool color screen, no problems so far.
Cons: Accidental forwarding to voicemail (side buttons)
The Bottom Line: Have to give it a big thumbs up! Not the smallest phone available but possibly easier to use than the tiny ones.

| dragracer's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
I've had my VX4400 a couple of months now and it seems to be a great little phone. It replaced my somewhat dated Nokia 5165. I never really had any complaints about the old phone but I had no idea what I was missing. I'm no phone guru but compared to my old Nokia, I have to say this is a very cool phone.
The color screen is awesome. I got a data cable for the phone so I could make and upload my own wallpaper and midi ringers. That stuff is sort of fun to play with even though it doesn't make the phone any more functional.
I was a little concerned about how sturdy a flip phone would be but it seems like it's built very well. I think it would take some serious abuse before it actually broke.
It doesn't come with any games, if you're into that sort of stuff(which I am not). I got EasyEdge free for two months when I signed up so I went ahead and downloaded a couple of games in case I get really bored some time.
The leap from the older TDMA phone to the CDMA technology is amazing. I work in the basement of a large building and I could never even get a signal with my old phone. I can now send and receive calls from my office with virtually no problems.
I was also impressed by how good the voice dial feature was. It's very easy to setup and it has never failed to work correctly.
The only real complaint is the same as I have read on some of the other reviews here. The buttons on the side are just too easy to hit when you get a call and reach for the phone. If you grab the phone just right and press the buttons on the side, it sends the call to voicemail. I had this happen a couple of times right after I got it so I'm just very careful now. It's just a dumb design I think. I'm hoping LG will come out with a flash update that will help fix this.
I would highly recommend the VX4400 for anyone looking to upgrade. I got mine free with a 2 year contract so I couldn't beat the price. :)
