Pros: Great reception
Small and easy to use
Cons: Doesn't have an 'ignore call' feature
Can't backup speed dial numbers to a PC.
The Bottom Line: The TM510 is a really neat and compact flip phone that functions well. Only a few drawbacks.

| jpwhite's Full Review: LG-TM510 Cell Phone |
The TM510 is a nice and compact, not much bigger than a pager. I found the belt clip easy to use (once you get the hang of it). It fits onto the sun visor in a car real easily allowing for convenient and secure location for hands free kits.
Having the external display showing the number/person calling is a great feature. It also displays time of day. Time of day is automatically updated via the Verizon network requiring no programming.
Some cell phones have an 'ignore call' feature. With the LG phone as soon as you open the phone up it answers the call, which is great if you want to answer it. The only way to ignore an unwanted call is to let it ring 5-6 times and let it go to voice mail. That's not always an appealing option.
Call clarity is good, but how much that is a feature of the Verizon network or the phone I can't tell.
The PC software option is disapointing, I had hoped you could save the speed dial list you enter to the PC hard drive, but you can't. There is a 3rd party company that offers speed dial backup for cell phones, but alas it's not available for the TM510.
You can set the phone to vibrate only, handy if you want to be unobtrusive.
Text messaging works well, though the phone defaults to a text entry mode that baffles me, it's easy enough to change but I often forget and have to redo a message or speed dial entry.
I have had no trouble with the antenna, but several folks at work have snapped the antenna off the TM510. It can stick into you when on your belt. the replacement is very easy to fit, no tools required.
