Good: keyboard for texting
Bad: crashes constantly, overly sensitive screen and touch buttons
Comment: as mentioned in other reviews, my messaging app crashes constantly, and won't work properly unless I reboot my phone. The buttons on the bottom of the screen are overly sensitive and go off at random while i'm texting, taking me away from my current message to the home screen or to other random screens and I lose whatever I was writing which is a total pain. I've had this problem fixed several times and sent it in to Koodo - my phone company. When I get it back it's perfect for about a week and then goes wonky again. Alot of apps aren't supported, it runs slow, and I generally just don't like it.
I don't reccommend this phone to anyone., It's

Good: I love the keyboard and it's durable, dropped it many times with only a thin plastic case
Bad: overly-reactive touch screen, a bit slow, camera is poor quality
Comment: I've had this phone 15 months and I have a reoccurring problem. The messaging app tends to crash (although I did find a solution for that). The biggest problem though is the touch screen. It is too sensitive, and often closes apps or windows without any prompts from me. If I get too close to the screen while typing, same problem. I deal with it, to me it's not a reason to buy a new phone, but be ready for it if you buy one. Besides that though it's great for texting.
One more thing, the camera app has trouble sharing and receiving pictures. When you get an image all you will be able to see is the thumbnail, that part sucks.

Good: Competative.. Keyboard is GREAT!
Bad: A bit slow... but nothing someone with a brain can't handle.
Comment: It is my first cell phone... and for $100 bucks, it's pretty good...
My brother has a LG c800g "Eclipse"... He was $400 and mine does 90% of what his does and at at LEAST 75% of the speed...
So... it is a $100 phone that competes with more expensive phones...
I would reccomend it for someone who just wants a cheap cellphone to compete with modern ones.

Good: Nothing
Bad: It's slow to run any app. It crashes or reboots it's self for no apparent reason and the screen lock function is annoying.
Comment: This is simply the worst mobile phone I've ever owned. If you're thinking of getting this product see what Samsung has to offer in the same price range instead. You will regret getting the LG Optimus Chat.
