| mari21's Full Review: LGIC LG-TM510 Cell Phone |
Ok, So i'm back with another opinion. I previously wrote one on the touchpoint 2200 phone with Sprint, well since then I have DISconnected with Sprint (Lamo company who tries to gip you). And switched over to Verizon. So far I'm very very happy with them.
I was immediately attracted to this little cutie phone. Here are some of the reasons why:
1) It's size. It's small when it's clam shelled, but once opened it's very expandable and not too tiny at all.
2) This is kinda corny, but I really like that they had two very classy colors. I opted for the black (I'm kinda sick of the metalic that's been seen so much this year). Very classy though.
3) Outer LCD, a MUST!! I was so turned off by the Samsung 8500 because you had to open it all the time.
4) Voicedial on this sucker is excellent. You can program practically EVERY number to have a voice to it. and it works really well.
5) The phone book is great because it holds so many numbers.
6) Reception is totally awesome. I get very clear receptions where I stay. With Sprint I was having a little difficulty. I also just put my phone to the test. This morning I just went to the gym. With sprint, whenever you go into the lockerroom, you lose coverage and sometimes kick into roam mode, but with this little phone I got two notches and made a call and got great clarity. YAY!!
7) I really like the service plan that verizon offers. I live in Florida and I have no roaming as long as I am in florida! That's great.
Cons:
While the phonebook is a pro, it's also a con. As many have said. It's not very intuitive. You have to "search" for numbers. Which can get a little annoying, but I too have all my numbers with a voice tag, so it's really not a HUGE deal once you get used to it.

Well, it's been a week since I've had my phone along with Verizon service. And let me say, it's been great. I haven't had such great reception in a while.
This is definitely a phone worth buying.
Props to LG.
