Review:
I have read so many negative reviews about the renoir and cant understand why.
This phone is amazing. The screen is so responsive to a light touch even with a protector in place.
Battery life is a few days but that reduces when watching movies etc.
Speaking of which, i uploaded 15 full length movies using the supplied software and watching them is a dream. I also bluetoothed many of the vista wallpapers from my pc to the phone without any probs at all. The screen is crystal clear.
Some people say the ringing volume is low...i guess that depends on what tone you use because i have had no problem hearing mine. And speaking of tone....talking to someone is as clear as any phone i have used.
It does tend to lock itself but thats not a problem because you dont have to unlock it to receive a call and one touch to unlock for all other functions is not a big deal.
Turning the phone sideways to write mail or texts can be fiddly if you have big fingers but using it upright, the predictive text works a treat.
The camera blows me away. It has so many features and editing tools.
Picture quality is so clear, i couldn't quite believe it.
Unless some people have been unlucky enough to purchase the odd faulty hand set, hence some of the bad reviews, don't let them put you off. They are probably secret iphone dreamers and hate anything that compares to it.
I am not saying the LG renoir is an iphone replacement but half the stuff on the iphone never gets used and the renoir has just the right apps to make it a very user friendly phone with more than most people want.
If you want this phone, dont be put off by some peoples negative reviews.
Make up your own mind because i am really glad i did.

Mind-blowingly good for a Windows Mobile smart phone, but it still left us with that 'if only' feeling
Acer beTouch E200
Has its moments, but its low-resolution touchscreen and lack of Wi-Fi support are disappointing

Offers some fun features if you've got tonnes of contacts, but it can be hard to get your head around
