LG U880

The LG U880 is a tidy little mobile, easy to use and operate. No real problems so far but did have some difficulty downloading from a PC, and the 1.3 megapixel camera is now at the low end of the scale for resolution but is still sufficient for current usage.

Overall, the LG U880 mobile phone is fine. If you are looking for a modern nice looking phone, then this is good for you. However, there are some particular things that irritate me about the phone. For example, the camera and the MP3 player. 3 are offering great deals at the moment, which is brilliant, and their phones are definitely improving all the time.

I have 2 of these phones and both of these have already been sent out for repair within the first month.

They are waiting to go back yet again for repair!

There is also a problem in receiving phone calls, for example the phones have full signal but the calls are diverted to voice mail without ringing every now and again... not very impressed.

The LG U880 mobile phone overall is a good product. It has bluetooth, which I tried to connect to my cars bluetooth system, but failed - no fault of the phone. I phoned LG customers services to see if the phone was compatible with my cars bluetooth, and I was told by someone that she thought it wasn't. If you want to save yourself a phone call work it out for yourself and don't call customer services.

I got the LG U880 mobile phone 6 weeks ago, and after giving myself time to get used to the differences from a Nokia, I actually fell in love with it. This was until I received my first "call waiting". I was already on a call, heard the beep, checked the screen and just saw a number I didn't recognise. Later, upon checking the call records I saw it was actually someone I knew and who was programmed into the handset. It seems that the U880 isn't capable of displaying a caller's name, just their number. I emailed LG about this and they came back saying "These 'faults' you refer to are down to design features which you personally find unhelpful". Well I think all of us would find a caller's name appearing helpful, don't you!!? So it's a bit backward to be calling the lack of a feature an 'unhelpful feature'. If Nokia were capable of call waiting caller display 7 years back, I don't see why LG can't have it as a standard feature in the 21st century!

The second thing is the fact that audio playback is capable via the buttons on the front, despite the phone being switched to silent. I discovered this when crossing my arms in front of me during an outdoor briefing (I had my phone in my top pocket), only for a loud rendition of 'All Sparks' to emanate from my person, much to the disgust of my manager.

And last but not least, the battery life. It seems for the past week that I'm now charging the phone every 24 hours, despite not using it to make calls at the moment. I'm not looking forward to when it's back in full use again! So much for the 10 days or whatever it is they claim!

All in all a cracking phone, but with some very basic design flaws on it which undermine the whole phone. If you know your friend's names off by heart and can afford a new battery or two, then crack on. But if you're looking for a reliable phone with all the basic features you'd expect on one nowadays, I'd personally recommend a Nokia.

I got the LG U880 mobile phone on Friday. It's now Monday, and having switched it off to get my SIM number, and switched it back on again, it's now hung on boot, just displaying the 3 logo. I've tried taking the battery out and putting it back, blah, blah, but it seems to have had it. It's a bit disappointing really, as I quite like the look and feel of the phone. I think that LG should try harder.

Only had the LG U880 for 1 week but this is a great all round mobile phone. It can be bettered by some phones for the camera quality and on the applications available. But if you want a slim, lightweight and nifty looking 3g phone then look no further. It has all the usual applications and functionality and in my opinion a very slick and fast interface (being used to Sony Ericssons).

It may not be the greatest music phone but the functions are there with access to controls on the front and the sound is acceptable, although it doesn't really rival a good dedicated player. My real liking for this phone comes with the free data cable supplied and software which installed and worked first time in a matter of minutes and gives good compatibility with Outlook synchronisation.

I can definitely say this has been the most pleasurable transition to a new phone I have ever encountered and on the 'Three' network it comes with some great deals on the tariffs.

I first bought the LG U880 3G mobile phone as my Motorola V3 Razr gave up the ghost after being repaired twice, and at only 6 months old.

The LG caught my eye as it is nice looking, light, and I fancied a 3G phone. I like the set up; the menus are easy to navigate, and the free to roam internet was a dream, until today when the screen stuck. It was frozen completely, so I took the battery off, and put it back on, but there is still no change; so after 28 days it's back to the shop where I bought it! I just hope I get a swap, because apart from it breaking down I like the phone.

I have been using an LG U8120 for approx 18 months and I loved the way that phone worked and looked and felt. It is similar in operation to a Nokia and it was cheap - hence my buying it :) There were a lot of problems with those phones, and lord knows I had problems, having sent 2 back for replacement. The LG U880 mobile phone is identical in usage to the aforementioned phone, only it now has a better screen, Bluetooth (at last!) and a higher resolution camera. Texting is still very nice as with the older version (the 8360 being messed upon and 'lagging' behind user input). I agree with the other user that the flaps do feel flimsy, and I would prefer them not to be there, but it is a minor detail, and I prefer the rotating camera to that of a fixed camera, as it means you can take a megapixel picture of yourself, unlike built in cameras which are often VGA cameras. The reception on this phone is much improved over my old one, as is the sound quality - this is a VERY easy to listen to phone. If you have been put off by older LG phones, now is the time to get back into them based upon this example :)

I have had my old V500 for some time, and I am not really into phones, so I thought it was time I changed networks and phones. Out of the phones available on 3, I went for the LG U880 as it was smaller that the other options.

I like the look of it. Having two screens is cool, and the blue illuminated buttons are nice. I am easily pleased, and only really want a phone that does the basics. I don't want to download music or do video calling, but having these I options will naturally fill other buyers remit.

I am not that hot with using phones, and it took a while for me to get my head around the menu, but what I like about the phone is that the buttons are big, the menu (once I had worked out what I was doing) was easy (but the manual wasn't), and it seems to be quite strong but lightweight. I don't like the camera button on the side of the phone, or the swivel camera lens (just seems a bit cheap); nor do I like the little covers for the charger and other plug in devices. I don't know what is attaching them to the phone, but they don't seem to be very strong, and I can see that with a bit of use, especially from someone trying to open them in the car etc., that they may well snap away.

Initially I didn't like the phone and was really tempted to return it, but now that I am used to it I really like it. I just need to have less techno fear and I think we will get along fine. I just wish that the phone manufacturers would write manuals for beginners, maybe then we all might be able to use more of the functions available.
