Pros: Text messaging buttons, good menu layout, good contact system
Cons: PHONE SHUTS OFF! Terrible reception, bad side buttons, slow processor.
The Bottom Line: I would never recommend this phone to anyone - not even the guy who murdered my family and burned my house down while peeing on my front lawn.

| gryffy's Full Review: LG VX6100 Cellular Phone |
I primarily use my phone for text messaging and quick local calls and got it because of the text messaging keyboard layout. At first it was hard to adjust to but once I got the hang of the letter spacing it was pretty handy. That's about all I have nice to say about the phone ...now comes the bad parts:
1. The phone turns off all the time for no reason. Never gotten water on it, never abused it, etc - but after text messaging, closing the phone, and now even when I just open it to answer a call, it will completely turn off by itself and lose all info (ie: my text message). This is my primary reason for returning it today.
2. The reception is TERRIBLE. The antenna is just for decoration since having it in or out does not affect anything. It loses calls and when you do lose a call, instead of just hanging up, it will play a loud static in your ear. Grr.
3. The text buttons are made for speed for messaging - however once you get used to it and can actually type quickly, it cannot keep up with my fingers and my text messages look like this: "Hy how is i gong? I wll be thr soo" Like seriously ...terrible!
4. The side buttons are ANNOYING!! It has this "handy" Driving Mode feature and I've now had two times where I've had my phone on a quiet setting because I'm in someplace like a restaurant or at supper at my g/f's and the driving mode button was pressed in my pocket from my leg and I get a call and in this 200 decibal voice it says "INCOMING CALL FROM XXXXX!!!" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So, in sum, do not buy this phone!
