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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Small, Attractive, Long Battery Life

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 22, 2003
    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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 23, 2002
    Pros: Very compact, nice looks, external display, external LED, lotsa features
    Cons: Green LEDs, Cost cutting, Poor quality, wish ringers were louder

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Dec 29, 2001
    Pros: Customized ringer, speaker monitor, better earpiece and good, solid phone for the price.
    Cons: Color choice, aesthitics and general appearance of the phone.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Small and Looks cool

    Summary: 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 ... read more
