I really like it. Battery life is suffient, display is stellar. Call quality is good. The speaker for music, speaker phone, etc. is weak (not the earpeice speaker for the phone, the one in the back) and headphones greatly improve media sound. The stock UI is odd, but I've switched to ADW Launcher. It feels nice in the hand and is comfortable in a hip pocket.
This is not a "Oooo, you have a Wiz Bang 9000!" sort of phone. But if you want a phone that will get the job done at a reasonable price it is a good phone.

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher it is just a different user interface.

I've noticed a slow refresh when it thinks it has 4G but only has 3G. I'm not sure if that is the phone or Verizon.

Its. a nice phone... so much larger et lighter than my ODroid. But i can hardly read anything because the contrast lsucks. i can't zoom everywhere unfortunately . zooming helps the contrast. Right now I'm going bonkers because the text jumps up out of my sctreen like a paddle ball and i cant see what I'm typing. thats a p.i.a. for me. I can this nonsense't. handle this. Jumping cursors too batman. But the worst is not being able to read the light grey words on the white background. is there some kind of zoom or mag glass avainumbers in emaillable that lets us use it wherver we want/need to? i got this big screen for my old eyes and i can read my smaller screened Droid so much easier . Boing! There goes my cursor somewhere again. forgove me for tring to move the body of text to where i could view it. help.

Now that I'm on my laptop, I'll try to clarify and hope to do so in a more coherent fashion.

1. The contrast is too weak for easily reading.
2. The zoom is still a feature that is available only on certain pages. (it's not an option for every page)
3. There is no way to increase the font size. (my oDroid allows me to select LG font, and then when it zooms, it's just right).
4. The double tap zoom works on same pages but I have to use the zoom in/out glass on most of them.
5. The pages that will not zoom at all are impossible for old eyes like mine to read. The font is too little and the contrast is too soft, which makes for a lose lose situation.

Posting:
1. The reply box wouldn't let me view the text I was typing. The entire body would boing to the top of window, out of view. I couldn't fix grammar or punctuation because it thought I was playing snap or some such game. Every time I tried to place the cursor somewhere for viewing or correcting the text, it would sling the entire body of text to top.
A. Perhaps this issue will correct itself once I download tapatalk? However, my oDroid never dealt with this problem and it didn't have tat

The 3G works great, super fast, at a good reception area, such as last night. Today I am back to my bad area, and it's not working at all. I have to use wifi which sucks because of overages.

The phone reception so far is fantastic! Even here in my bad area. (unlike my oDroid that could mostly only txt and recieve emails but not send emails).

Emails... well, on my Droid they were there, and I could open at any time to read or reread any of them. So far, with my LG I can't reopen and read or reread because it's not opening unless I have wifi on.

I'll know more in a few days whether or not to keep this phone. Tomorrow might be the opposite... all emails and no calls... (my area is notoriously famous for that).

Other than all of the opening day issues, I love this phone and I hope the issues fix themselves.

Wow i haven't had all those problems but i don't really like the keyboard right now..i use to be able to add words to dictionary while typing bit now i gotta do it manually. And the camera won't take a shot right when i click it
.it would take the shot a second or so after i push it..idk i don't i can change it but the last issue so far is the browser..idk about u guys but..when i hit the refresh bufrom it takes awhile to actually refresh..and overall is just a slow browser
..even on 4G

Good news: ReApplied the email app and it's working like my Droid now, but with a different layout. I no longer lose emails just because I read them, and I can mark them unread now. I can also read the old mail without wifi once again. The new emails require at least a little bit of 3G and the 3G is lacking today but that's typical in my area. (no 4G in my area yet either). The joys of installing a new phone in a good/bad reception area. I think things would be smoother if it came from the store fully loaded and ready to go because the store has above excellent reception.

Now if only I could get Rhapsody to get past the "preparing for download" and actually do it lol. Will have to take a drive to an excellent reception area I'm afraid.

I noticed that about the dictionary too and hoped it was just a slow kernel that has yet to show up. How do you do it manually? I'll have to play around with that.

Is it possible to install and use a different browser?

So far, my camera is quite fast. My oDroid was slower than molasses, but the quality of still lifes was wonderful. This one is okay quality but at least it has a quick shutter fo still lifes. Hmmmm, I haven't tried it on moving objects, it might slow down trying to focus.

Overall, I am really enjoying the phone now especially now that the email is working like it should.

OH WAIT. One more gripe. Free Cell card game on my 0Droid was great, the cards were easy to read. Same with Spider. But even with the same app from market for the spider, the cards are practically unreadable on my LG. What's up with that???? You'd think they'd at least be the same if not larger. Larger screen and smaller font. DUMBER THAN DUMB. It's worse than playing cards on my tiny LG pebble.

To add words you go to setting and then language and keyboards it should be there and i mean the camera isn't slow maybe i just thought their would be like a shutter click or something but i guess not it'll be hard to capture moving targets and yea i downloaded dolphin hd its better than the browser they gave us..cause i have to wait so long for a page to even start loading its ridonkiless glad u got your email working c: i just go online for mine
