LG Xenon GR500 cell phone
I love the qwerty keyboard and the phone is all around a great buy, fun to use. It has a favorite contacts button and a favorite apps button, a quick access button for messaging,email, and phone book. The keyboard is good for girls like me, with smaller hands. Can use caller picture IDs, on incoming calls and texts. Not too thick of a phone, that is built with a qwerty keyboard; about the same size as the LG Vu, only slightly thicker. The camera is good, has a touch screen shutter button and a shutter button on the side of the phone, auto saves pictures. The texting set up is like that of the iphone. What i don't like, you can't favorite/lock any of your text messages. I am on a prepay plan, and can't receive any picture texts, even though I could on my old phone. The alarm is a little complicated, and you have to set your overall volume up. For instance, my old razor phone you can set your ring volume on vibrate and the alarm would still go off with the set tone. With the Xenon, you can't set your ring volume on vibrate or the alarm would vibrate instead of toning. Sometimes the keyboard wouldn't respond to the phone when pushed open too fast. I've dropped it a couple times already, so it's durable. This is my first smart phone, and it's very easy to use.Read full review...
LG Xenon GR500 Cell Phone --Great!
Love: Camera--takes crystal clear pix & u can edit them on the phone, Slide out keyboard perfect for txting, touch screen ,Non-Scratch surface, compact design, Overall look & feel of the phone--nice & sleek.
Dislike: Speaker was low quality--not loud enough or clear enough. Sometimes the display would freeze for a sec or two after the inbox get full (& it fills up fast). The messaging inbox does not have SMS like the Palm phones therefore the messging capacity was low (you can only store about 200 msgs) & since this is a texting phone, you need to have higher message storage capacity. Trust me, people get annoyed having to delete messages they want to keep. They should defininitly have messaging like the Palm phones.
Another thing I disliked was the color themes of the ohone. There was not much variety, It was either black/red or white. They shouuld have more variety.Read full review...
LG BLUE XENON
Nice light phone with a lot of features. Touch screen. Two entry modes for emails and text. Expandanle memory. Widgets you can customize. Three pages of favs for Friends, Family and Businesses. Flick scrolling. A customizable button to take you to your fav programs. The list goes on and on with phone features and ya get all of AT&T features as well. The phone is small and light, I prefer one with a liitle more weight to it, but thats me.Read full review...
LG Zenon " Voice Activated Dialing " ??? LOL
Only one real complaint about this phone. Voice activated dialing requires you to press the screen 4 times to activate the feature. If you have to unlock your phone to use it, then that's 5 presses. This is hardly a convenience that helps you avoid having to press buttons to make a phone call or use the other features described.
I can easily make a phone call in 2 presses by using the contact button and the green phone next to a contact.
Nice try, this feature is moot. For my intended purpose of dialing while driving without pressing buttons, this feature is just baggage in the phone's memory chip.Read full review...
Nice phone, intuitive menus, good reception
I've used this phone for a few weeks now and find it is a good, reliable QWERTY keyboard type slide phone. I like the intuitive menus and easy to navigate controls and functions. The phone feels solid, moreso than the Samsung Impression. The recpetion is good, about the same as the phone it replaced. Battery life is good, ans as rated. The display is nice and bright and the font size can be adjusted to make most anyone happy. Audio quality is good, and the volume is nice and loud if you want it to be.Read full review...
I love my LG Xenon phone
I love that it is Bluetooth compatible (as my last phone was too old to have it), the full keyboard, the easy accessibility to the many options it has, and that I can store music on it.
I dislike that the screen will often push something in my pocket and accidentally sign online or something like that, and that the phone's alarm doesn't go off if the phone is off (as my older phone dead), and that accessing the volume controls takes longer to find.
I bought it because I have friends who have it and love it and I needed a phone that was Bluetooth compatible, and this phone came with a Bluetooth.Read full review...
A decent GSM messaging phone; sacrifices battery life for bling
Bought this phone looking for a GSM alternative to my old LG Cosmos when I switched to T-Mobile. Man, QWERTY phones that aren't smartphones are hard to find these days.
The keyboard is great, good spacing, good solid clicks and I get very few typos even when typing quickly. The interface is easy to figure out, but suffers from a poor quality touch screen so you will be hitting the wrong buttons day and night. Also, the phone doesn't appear to have a true idle state, and barely gets 24 hours standby battery life when brand new.
I'm satisfied with the phone, since it's one of the best in this style that I've tried, but I really wish that quality phones of this style were still made as a smartphone alternative, and not just bottom-tier trash with crappy screens and no battery life.Read full review...
Lg Xenon from Topshelf_Wireless
At first I was a little worried about buyingt this phone online for two reasons. I wasn't sure if my SIM card would work in the phone and I feared I would have to send it back and wait another 3 days to get a refund. Fortunately that wasn't the case. I simply put my SIM card in and all my contacts loaded and I was good to go. The phone is amazing for texting. The only issue is I sometimes hit the "mobile email" button which is next to the letter "A" and that causes the application to immediately start up while in the middle of a text. Other than that, this phone is great. The camera takes quality photos and videos. The touch screen is pressure sensitive, unlike the iPhone where it is heat sensitive, but then again it isn't an iphone. I highly reccomend buying this phone if you text alot and are looking for an inexpensive phone. I highly reccomend buying this from Topshelf_Wireless because it was brand new and half the price.Read full review...
A sleek, well designed phone.
I bought this phone a two months ago, as a defective phone. The phone would constantly chime while in the on mode, you could not make calls or receive calls unless the usb cable or the charger was plugged in the phone, it did not have to be plugged in to an outlet or anything else. I did not touch the phone for two weeks and then suddenly it started to work fine, no constant chiming and phone was able to make and receive calls perfectly. Now everything is ok. I can't figure out what was wrong. The phone is sleek and nicely designed, the vibrating touch was well though through. The ease of use, anyone can figure it out.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes necessary features in a phone and is also on a budget.Read full review...
Primitive but does everything I need it to do.
Basic communications device with slide out keyboard. It's a bit primevite but it works fine for my purposes which do not include any 3g stuff.
I bought this item as a replacement for identical item I bought 3 years ago. It was not easy to transfer stuff from the old to the new phone. Pretty buggy, like not being able to access the ringtones I had purchase for the old phone but would not work on the new.
But even though I had to spent a few hours setting up the new phone and re-purchasing ringtones, it was pretty inexpensive. LIke I said this phone fills the bill for me.Read full review...
