Description is a lieBy Disappointed
I've never written a negative review for either amazon or ebay, but this deserves it. The description clearly states this phone is UNLOCKED. It is not. It is locked and you need to purchase an unlock code to use the phone. To describe the phone as unlocked and then list at&t and t-mobile as carriers this phone will automatically work with is a flat LIE. Amazon should not let OEM shop sell this with that description.

DON'T BUY, IT IS NOT UNLOCKED!!! Didn't work with T-Mobile, even though it said it would in the ad!By BB703
If you read the ad for this item, it says in both the headline and description that it is "Unlocked". Then if you read on, it says that it is unlocked and will work with AT&T and T-Mobile. I figured this was the perfect solution, since I wanted an Android phone, to ride out the remaining 4 months on my T-Mobile contract. The phone arrived, i put in my sim card, put in the battery, turned it on, and immediately it said "Network Locked" on the screen. This means the phone is not "Unlocked" as advertised, and requires an unlock code to be purchased from a website. Those codes ranged anywhere from $25-40 on the sites I checked. Then after you purchase the code, most sites take an additional 36-48 hours to email you the code. If the phone is advertised as unlocked, you shouldn't have to pay an additional cost just to make it work with a carrier listed as ok for this phone. In fact, this is a definite euro phone. The charger for the phone as a euro end on it, which has to be plugged into a US converter, and then into the wall. Again, just annoying. Don't waste your time or money on this phone, it will just irritate you. I sent mine back within an hour of getting it from UPS. Spend the extra 25-40 bucks it will cost you to unlock it, and get a better phone. I'd give this negative stars if it would let me. Thumbs down.

Smart enoughBy Darrel Reese
PROS:
The phone does everything desired: Unlocked, quad band, wi-fi, bluetooth, 3G, syncs with google, takes photos, plays music, videos, games...etc. I bought it mainly for using SIMs for prepaid accounts both in US and abroad, and a bit of surfing/emailing when wi-fi is available.
CONS:
Screen contrast is hard to see outside, but I haven't looked to see if there is a setting for that. Not a deal breaker.
Unfortunately, it's LG and difficult to get an update to Android 2.1 while in States, so 1.6 will have to do for most of us....LG has yet to work out all the red-tape kinks, and the phone isn't technically supported in USA. So US residents will have a hard time figuring out how to use the USB cable for anything other than charging, like getting a PC computer to communicate with the SD card (Maybe Linux and Apple users are having an easier time with it?) And it didn't come with a CD or even link to download software for syncing it to your computer...
If only LG would realize that their products are being sold in US and lobby a bit harder for allowing full support, regardless of the networks and software developers...
Also, because it's only OS 1.6 (Donut), you aren't permitted to use the SD card for executable apps (i.e. expand your phones internal memory), and can only use it for storage and playback, and file/app backups.
Note that I've quickly discovered that an internal 200 MB doesn't get you very far...but that was my shortsightedness -- I hadn't planned on overloading it with apps.
RECOMMENDATION? The phone itself works great. However, some of the smart device tasks that should be easy (OS updating, accessing SD card, transferring files to and from) might be a bit challenging for most, especially if live LG support is missing. I'd suggest going to the LG website first and seeing if you can select the model in your country's list of available/supported phones...if so, chances are you'll have access to all the tools and fewer problems. If it isn't, then I suggest finding a model that is supported.
