We like:
Attractive design; large colour screen; attractive user interface; world clock; FM radio

Texting can be awkward; glossy surfaces attract fingerprints and face grease
CNET UK judgement:

Indeed, this is one of the most attractive handsets that we have seen so far, and while it's not perfect in every area, it keeps LG firmly at the top of the fashion phone market
