| pearcewg's Full Review: LGIC LG-TM510 Cell Phone |
I'm a verizon wireless customer in the Washington DC area, and recently upgraded my phone to the LG-TM510.
When I went shopping, I planned to look at the Motorola Startac, or similar products.
When I shopped, I found that for there were a decent number of phones available, but the 'good' ones started at $150 (plus service agreement) and went up to the $400 range.
This particular phone is in the $140 - $160 range, depending on the color you choose. They have a black, inexpensive model, and then a chrome like luxury model for about $30 more.
The phone has good reception: better than the inexpensive phone it replaced. It also has pretty good software: easy to navigate and lots of options.
There are tons of chimes, most of which are annoying. However, one of the best features is the ability to vibrate instead of ring, which is very useful. I wear mine on my belt, and I don't want it chiming in meetings, movie theatres, etc. I love this feature.
I also like the outside led. This phone has two screens: on the outside, a mini screen...you can see who is calling (with caller ID), if you have voicemail, or just look at the time. The inside screen has the navigational menu and all functionality.
The only problem I have with this phone is that the battery life could be a little longer, and that it doesn't come with a car charger (buy one separately), and no handsfree stuff.
Overall, an excellent buy for the price...you could spend more and not have a better phone.
