LG Goldstar DB-520/TP5200 Cell Phone

Pros: price, weight, battery life
Cons: ring tones,

The LG TP5200 Cell phone has been one of the best phones I've used to date. In comparing this phone such others -- Motorola Startac, Nokia, and the Ericsson, this phone beats them out hands down; sound quality, size/weight, cell coverage are all rated...

Pros: Customized ringer, speaker monitor, better earpiece and good, solid phone for the price.
Cons: Color choice, aesthitics and general appearance of the phone.

The phone looks exactly like the 5200 except there are 2 differences.

1) On the back where the battery clips on, there's a round piece hidden in there that is probably the vibrate part.
2) On the outside of the phone the LG logo is...

Pros: Fits right into your pocket, external caller ID, very easy to use
Cons: You can't change the face plates

How It Came Into My Life :)
After about three months of my father and I begging my mom to get a cell phone for herself, she finally gave in. She always knew she wanted this phone, but was totally unsure of the service. She bought it with rebates and...

Pros: Small size, sound quality, ringer types, simple user interface
Cons: Very fragile, horrible reception, battery life is a joke, LG accessories don't last

The LG 5250 is for Sprint carriers. This is my second phone and I suppose I was drawn to it for it's small size and aesthetics. The only quality of this phone is the interface is user friendly. However after owning the same phone for a year of course it...

Pros: Small, external caller ID, big screen, stylish
Cons: Flimsy, scratches easily, muffled speaker, Sprint PCS

Last year I decided to purchase a new phone from Sprint to replace my Samsung SCH8500. Since I am partial to flip-phones, the LG-5200 was the top of the line, at $200.

Before reading the rest of my review, you should know that I use my cell...

Pros: Very small,tons of useful features, flip phone, external LED, strong ear phone
Cons: Moderate battery life, lack of color choices, lack of ringers/screen savers

First off this is my first mobile phone, I am 18 yr old male and use my phone for well keeping in touch with friends and family. Main reason I choose this phone was it was on sale at costco and I really liked the sprint plan. Anyways back to the phone,...

Pros: Big buttons, Small Phone, Good battery life.
Cons: Can't hear the ringer even on the loudest setting.

Let me give you the highlights of what I like:
1. Expansive phone book: one person can have many numbers including fax or email.
2. Personalized ringers: you can assign a ringer to any individual plus download more.
3. Calender: Really not...

Pros: Small, ext. CID, Scheduler w/ repeating events, voice dial
Cons: Becomes unusable often.

I would be thrilled with all the features on this phone if not for two problems.

1) Often gets into a state where it appears to be working fine but will not receive incoming calls or text messages. Also will not place outgoing calls, which is...

Pros: Very compact, nice looks, external display, external LED, lotsa features
Cons: Green LEDs, Cost cutting, Poor quality, wish ringers were louder

Sprint is trying to attract more potential customers with their new PCS Vision service. Although the phones they offer for Vision are unparalled, most want a basic but not too basic phone. The LG5250 is the perfect phone to fill that spot. I bought ...

Pros: Small and Looks cool
Cons: might not find it

The LG 520 is a very good cell phone in my opinion. The screen on the front of the phone is nice when you want to know who is calling. The size of the phone is also good when you do not have a lot of room to store things. I think the best part of the...

Pros: The size of the phone and the options of choice.
Cons: At the highest volume level on ringer, still hard to hear.

The best phone I have had at$ 149.99. I have been a cellular user for 16 years and this is one of the best models to use because of it's size and functions available.I use on average 2500 minutes a month and this phone will outlast me. I would recommend...

Pros: Small, Attractive, Long Battery Life
Cons: Unsturdy Battery, Muffled Sound

Of course, being the impressionable consumer that I am, I chose this phone because it looked “cute.” Now, I’m currently shopping around for a new cellular. Don’t get me wrong. At first, this phone is highly effective. It has numerous...

Pros: Smallest phone around. Great sound. Dual band. Voice dialing.
Cons: Can't find clip for it yet.

I just purchased this phone after getting rid of my TP1100. The TP1100 was a piece of junk. I was very cautious buying another LG product, but found this phone was great.

Sound quality is very good. Earpiece volume can be adjusted so high it...

Pros: Size, Monitor on feature, Loud and clear voice, good connection
Cons: battery falls off easily. Must buy a new set of expensive accessories for it.

This is a really excellent phone for the price. I have not had any calls drop. Voice is loud and clear. Size is very small. The phone book is also very useful because it allows you to save a lot of information per name. As of July 2002, should get it for...
