Good: Relatively cheap
Bad: Overheats, unreliable, crashes, poor battery life
Comment: I had this phone for 6 months and from the start I had problems. The phone overheats whilst charging, regularly causing it to restart. It also overheats when you use it for an extended period of time (15 minutes or more - which is a relatively common amount of time to use on a smartphone!). For some reason, WhatsApp in particular really overheats the phone. When it gets to a certain temperature, it turns off and restarts, but often gets stuck on the LG logo at the start. Finally after doing this for 6 months it won't turn on at all. Total waste of money. Do not buy!

Good: Looks nice, good quality build/feels nice in hands, fast/fluid/no lag, very clean and nice looking interface, great integration with some social networks and messenger
Bad: New OS makes the marketplace very far behind compared to the Apple App Store and the Android Marketplace - hopefully this will change with time
Comment: Great phone, looks and feels great, from the day I got it even now, people always comment like, "Damn, nice phone man" or something like that. There's a lot of little extra features Microsoft through into the OS that you might have to get apps for on iOS/Android and LG put together a very well built and good looking piece of hardware. Overall I give this phone a 4.5/5 or 9/10. I recommend this phone!

Good: Fast and comes with some of the best WP7 apps built in and exclusive to this device, including Weave, ScanSearch, Panorama Shot, Post Note, Cocktail Flow, Metro Scanner, Play To, Today and Weather & Clock (my favourite apps all from LG). Of course, it also runs the amazing Windows Phone 7 platform
Bad: Camera could be a little better - nice pics but colour needs some adjustment. Apart from that, I have very little to complain about
Comment: Of all the WP7 I have to say that the LG is the best currently available. One of the few to have 16GB memory, has a decent size screen and is pre-loaded with some exclusive apps that are by far the best of any other manufacturer. Screen is excllent too - although not as bright or as colours as the HD, it graduates the pixels better. Kinda like the touchy-feeling hot press buttons too, rather than virtual keys.
