| lilning's Full Review: LG VX4400 |
I had a Nokia 5185, and really needed an upgrade. When I went to the Verizon Wireless store, they really did not have a wide selection of flip phones to choose from, so I chose the VX4400, which was to me, the best looking phone they had. I was pleased with my purchase. I like the external LCD screen which displays the time and date, reception and battery status. The size of it makes it easy to see and read, unlike other flip phones that I have seen with very small and puny ext.LCD screens which can be hard on the eye. I also like that rainbow effect you get on the external LCD screen when you get an incoming call.
This phone comes with great features also. When I first got the phone, I was disappointed it did not come with any games. Anyways, I like the built-in calculator and alarm clock. It also has a calendar where you can schedule events or appointments. The voice dialing system is unique. You just same a name and the phone dials the number for you. I figured out how to record the names but can't figure out how the phone calls the number yet. I must agree that when I read over the manual they really did not do a good job of explaining things. It would show the icons on the page, but really did not elaborate on its function. My Nokia 5185 manual did a better job.
I like the Get It Now service on my phone even though you have to pay to download games, applications, etc. Lots of people complain about the fee, BIG DEAL. You just pay one time and after that its unlimited use (no charge). However I did wish Get It Now was free since it is defaulted on this phone.
I didn't too much care for the ringtones on this phone either. All of them are kind of dorky. That's why I like Get It Now where you can download better ringtones, instead of being bothered with the internet. Get It Now is so convenient. The battery life is ok. I heard with a color screen phone the battery life is shorter. I learned this because when I play games it shortens the battery life, especially when you download games and other applications.
Overall this is a great phone with nice features that I find useful.
