What is it: A shiny slider phone with a mirrored front section
What we think: Another super-stylish phone from LG that requires even more polishing than the Chocolate phone

"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
The mirror's the best part of the entire product. Which isn't good if it's a phone.
What I don't like:
Awful design, awful functionality, can't be used as a phone outdoors quite often, LG isn't standing behind it. LG C Service guy recommended I bin it.
Review:
Horrible design - although it looks nice, the looks certainly get in the way of its functionality, which is actually a terrible way to design things! It interferes rendering the phone useless. Plus the internal design mapping is nonsensical and inflexible.
I regret purchasing this phone. My screen craked (or had a 'bleeding lcd crystal') without any pressure or knock to the phone. In under a year it had 2 batteries. If there is sunshine outdoors - don't even try to use your phone. Because you can't. You honestly CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN! All you see is the mirror!
I've complained to the company directly and to the retailer and they have been nothing but rude and uncaring (and denying there is anything wrong with it, when all they have to do is take it outside if there's any sun). Rubbish phone, rubbish company. This was my 2nd - and final - chance with an LG product and I was upset with both items. STAY AWAY FROM LG OR YOU'LL REGRET WASTING YOUR MONEY!
LG Customer Service guy recommended I bin it. I am dead serious.
