LG U8120

The LG U8120 mobile phone is OK, other than the camera! The camera quality is really low, and the software keeps freezing, so I have to re-install the software at least once every two months.

At first I did like the LGU8120 phone, the colour screen and easy keypad made a nice change from my old Siemens A50. I admit that it was 3's offer that made me buy this phone, however the signal is absolutely awful and reliability has been a problem.

4 months after buying this phone all of the menus got jumbled up: Inbox was called 'Divert Calls' and contacts was called 'Calculator'. The phone had to be wiped, leaving me with no videos or pictures. Although the Carphone Warehouse did it for me for free (which was impressive seeing as I hadn't even purchased the phone there) I was still annoyed to find myself with no pictures or Ringtones or Videos that I had collected. 8 Months later the microphone went bust so I couldn't actually talk to anyone. Luckily the guarantee gave me a brand new one, but the man who bought the new phone to my house said that it was the 5th he had replaced that morning alone, which points out its unreliability in general.

Although it has some advantages like a good menu system, easy texting, a good colour screen and everything else I would not recommend that you buy this phone as in the end its best to have a not-so-good phone that works than a flashy phone that doesn't.

My 12 month contract with Three runs out this month and I can't wait! I too like others thought the contract was a good deal, and for minutes and texts the contract was good, the LG U8120 mobile phone and network however were a different story! I was unable to get a signal on a regular basis which would go on for miles, the phone would double up my text messages then crash! I have had to have the phone reprogrammed twice. It took a 30 minute phone call to give my 30 days notice, after which I gave up and put it in writing, because the operators kept putting me through to other departments to try and persuade me to keep my contract.

I went on contract with three in October last year, and I had no problems for 3 months. The signal kept failing, and people couldn't get hold of me. I would have to go into my garden to make a phone call, and sometimes it still wouldn't connect. If someone rang me, the phone would act as if it was switched off and it wasn't. I would show people my phone was on, and they would phone me when they were stood next to me to try, and couldn't believe it. This would happen for days at a time. Now the phone WILL NOT switch on at all.

It will not charge in my home or in the car.

I tried to talk to three and got nowhere, as no one understood when I was talking to them about my phone. I gave up in the end.

I bought the LG U8120 on contract last October thinking I got a good deal. The phone worked ok for the first 2 months - ever since I've had no end of problems. It needed a software reflash then a software replacement and needed to be sent to '3'! The service from 3 was appalling! and the phone is still causing me problems I cant wait until my contract finishes

Very good

If you decide to buy this phone, think first. I got this phone on contract, and thank god my contract has ended. The amount of times I have had to take this phone back to the shop, regarding the various problems I have had, was unbelievable. Also, if you ever phone 3, don't, because they are not at all helpful. My advice... steer clear of the phone, and the company 3.

LG U8120 - Where do I start?? For two months the phone was great then the problems started. Once I had had the phone software re-set twice I decided to speak to someone a little higher up in the ranks, which rewarded me with a new phone after 3 months but it wasn't much better. The phone/PC software is good for saving contacts but without being able to send messages back onto the it starts to lose its appeal. The video and picture quality is quite good but the flash/light just isn't good enough for low-light conditions. The battery has once more started its decline in usage time, 3 months later and I now have to recharge at least 4 times a week, sometimes every day. 3 is probably the worst network for reception, the phone doesn't switch quickly enough between 3G and G or normal service, often 'dead' areas can go on for miles!! A big drawback of this phone is the lack of Bluetooth ability. I'm sorry to say - steer clear of this phone if you want an easy life, I say 'I'm sorry' because this COULD be a good phone but it isn't.

LG U8120 - Great phone altogether. LG know how to make good phones. Wide range of downloadable games - I never get bored! The fantastic clamshell design, with flash which is not very bright, but enough. I like the choice you get to change the colour of the outer screen, which is a great difference. Easy to use, good battery life despite how many times I used it when I first got it!

Threepay is also a good network, the £15 credit lasts for ages... I have full music videos from just 75p!

Great phone... really recommened it for a flip 3G phone.

The LG U8120 phone is fantastic the only thing is that the infared port is for the data cable so you cant download off other peoples phones. This is juch better than my old phone. Word of advice do not by the LG C2200 it crashes all the time deletes contacts freezes for hours this phone is cursed
