Pros: Great phone with color screen awesome browser organizer and configurability
Cons: low battery power with backlight on.
The Bottom Line: This is a nice phone to have and it acts as an all in one organizer/phone/data connector.
I would recommend people to buy it.

| arindamb's Full Review: LG LX5350 |
I got the LG 5350 recently. I was pretty impressed by its features. Let me list the features first
Voice is a standard these days and it is really clear. So I will talk about the additional goodies. The reason for which one would buy a color phone . If you are just concerned with voice then do not spend $$$ for this phone
1) web enabled:- The browser on this phone is really cool. It supports the new standards like CSS and xhtml. It has really cool graphics and layout. One thing i really liked about the browser is text input AUTOFILL. That rules the day. Every one knows how painful it is to enter text on that small keypad of the phone. I went to a website and entered my login name and password. the next time i entered the site it asks me to enter the login name again and the moment i enter the first character of my name my whole login name is displayed in a popup which can be use. I was totally impressed with that. The browser also is enriched and has a vivid colour display. The browser rocks over that of the samsung A500.
The only thing I might complain about is that more content should be there. I am sure it will come up soon.
2)configurable ringtones and wallpapers:- this is also a cool feature. one can have separate ringtones for each phonebook entry and also a different wallpaper for each entry. isn't that cool to have your girlfriends picture flash up when you are dialling her or she gives you a call. the same goes for your kid/loved ones. I really liked that feature. With so many ringtones available it is cool. If you are entusiast enough one can set up a server for wallpapers.
3) organiser:- this really helps . now i do not need my PDA . I can store 300 entries in my digital organizer and set alarms and everything. This is everything in my pocket.
4) phonebook. this can store 6 numbers, email, url, photograph(wallpaper) for each entry. so now i have given up storing addresses on my PDA.
5) Downloadable java games make this phone an entertainment.the color screen along with audio makes it a nice toy to play games
6) airplane mode.:- turns of the communication channels but with the not so good battery life i dunno how long you can play games with the backlit LCD on.
7) backlit keys makes it nice for night time use.
8) data service speed. I think the netork is fast cause the speed with which i could download ringtones and wallpapers and view web pages was great.
well after raving about the features I have some things to say which they can improve
1) they could allow users to save pictures from the browser and set them as wallpaper. that would be great. Sprint are you hearing me?
2) Battery life with backlight on lets you talk for only 1 hour on full charge. but i guess talking with backlight on is not a nice idea as the screen heats up.
