Good: Great phone, fast and no problems at all

Bad: only a 512mb ram is installed in it... for a phone released this year, it should have at least 768mb ram, if not 1GB

Comment: Didn't have a great battery but I just bought a high capacity battery off the internet. The battery lasts me the full day now (from 6am to midnight = 18 hours) of regular usage :)

(the new battery has 2430mah capacity instead of the standard 1500mah)

I own it

Good: its 3D(camera,games,videos,pictures),responsive,fast,big screen and good resolution for pictures and more

Bad: the battery may want improving (maybe a powerful battery in the box) and could increase the ram to 800MB or more(512MB ram is kind of small for a smartphone!)

Comment: its a amazing phone ,one of the best phones out plus first 3D phone out aswell.very fast ,a fast processor,android market, good for people who have business.only had it for a week and its a phone i would to have. i was going with the galaxy s2 but this has the same features as that but the difference that this phone is 3D and could be in use.

Good: the 3d is good the speed is good and the screen fantastic

Bad: battery is bad and in my case if you click auto updates it wont do it you have to do it manually.

Comment: please look at the i phone and samsung s 2 before buying this the battery life is a shocker and also getting your app updates auto i have to do manually and every morning look for them. i was expecting a lot more from this phone and it needs the gingerbread 2.3 update now.

Not for me

Good: Usability, quality, well built, 3d is amazing, don't understand why editors slated it with 3 stars?

Bad: Battery life, LG should supply second battery.

Comment: Well done LG! I have always purchased iPhones and before that Nokia's but I got this to try 3d feature and I found it great fun! I worked for a mobile phone company and know a bit about them, and this is a winner! Can't believe it on got three stars!

DONT LET THE NAME THROUGH YOU OFF!
LG did very well with this mobile phone.

Good: the 3d and (2d to 3d) feature and Android 2.2

Bad: not an impressive display in 2d (LCD), and it's expensive

Comment: I kinda regret not buying the GalaxyS2 but then again
the 3d feature is cool, but you can't look at it for extended periods so it's less useful then what you might expect
the speed isn't bad but it's bulky sometimes which is just not inviting (bad finishing)
the battery life should have been longer especially that there are many things to do with a phone like this so you'll be working on it for a long time, and hence needs to be recharged at least once a day, twice a day isn't surprising too
Android 2.3 seemed to have more fun features, this one is somewhat boring but it's still impressive, as expected from Android

all in all, I have no regrets buying it, and it does 80%-90% from what you really want in a phone
and it's just what you're looking for if you like to show off

Good: 3d is awesome, speed of the phone too...

Bad: not much...

Comment: This phone is more than about 3d... ideal for people like me who don't want to cart around a pad-sized thing, but want the option of watching movies without squinting and games play without pressing stuff accidentally... did i mention its super-fast?! Gps maps appear quickly even with satellite view, moving in between apps being multitasked is easy and they all run smoothly (7web pages, while downloading...)
