| flg25's Full Review: LGIC LG-TM510 Cell Phone |
I was desperately needing a new cell phone. My old one was held together with duck tape. Also it was a flip phone but the ear piece did not work anymore so I knew was not going to buy that particular model again.
So I decided to buy the least expensive phone I could find. hence the LG-TM510. (Did I use the word HENCE correctly?) Anyway, I went to THE WHIZ and they had it on sale for 129 dollars. And I got a free back pack which by the way is really nice.
I switched my services to the new phone and it was ready to go. The first thing I noticed was that the signal was much stronger than my previous phone. I live in Westchester county NY a bit far away from Manhattan. In Westchester, no matter what company you have, the signal is always fading depending on where you are. The reason is that Westchester has a bunch of towns that don't want the cell phone companies to put up repeater antennas in their precious little towns. They don't even want fast food restaurants!! That is why the signal is so weak throughout the county. But I was really impressed with the signal. Also, many of the phones I have had before I could never talk when the signal was at one notch. With the LG is no problem. I really appreciate that.
The ear piece works great, good volume. The ringer is pretty much standard. You get all kinds of rings you can add to certain phone numbers if you wish. I really love the display in the front. Not only can you see who is calling but it displays the time and date!
Now to tell you guys the features that puts the icing on the cake. The phone has BLACKJACK! and, a CALCULATOR! I am always in need of a calculator because of the nature of my work. The blackjack is excellent for times when you are bored. I am aware that other phones have way better games but for the price of the LG you really can't complain. The battery life is incredible. Sometimes I ask myself, Will this batter ever die? It feels like an ever lasting source of energy. I have never had the battery die on me, unless you really talk a long time, the battery can last all day.
Last but not least the phone is incredibly durable. It has really blown my mind. I have dropped it so many times!!! And most of the time on the pavement! Every time I drop it not only does it make a horrible noise but I think.. OK this is it now the phone is really not going to work. But when I pick it up it looks like nothing happened to it. Simply amazing. Some times I think my hands are made of butter. Actually I believe I drop it so many times because of its very small size.
The only true complaints that I have is that it does not have voice dialing. My last phone had that and I truly miss it, but don't let that stop you from buying this phone, all the other features more than make up for this small blemish.
