LG C1300 Phone (Cingular)

Summary: Does not break.
Review: This is definitely a good cell phone.

I have seen all those fancy cell phone with colored screen and photo capabilities, but what's the point? I only want to call people with my phone, and if it does that, I am happy, and this phone does it well and has a good price.

I have also dropped this phone about 50 times since I got it 6 monthes ago and not a single thing has gone wrong for the phone as a result of my carelessness.

I think this is a perfect phone for someone who wants to keep things simple

Review: Where to begin?

I've had the charging problems that others have mentioned. Also, the phone sometimes just turns itself off. Very convenient when you're expecting an important call. The external LED isn't even mentioned in the user's manual. It's there purely for decoration, apparently. The software on the phone is of a generally clunky quality. I can get to the Ringtones shop in one click, but if I miss a call, it's 3 or 4 clicks to check for the caller's identity. You can see where Cingular's priorities are...

The one mitigating factor I'll mention is that the reception has improved greatly since I installed the new antenna that I was sent by Cingular.

Next time, I'm buying a Nokia or a Samsung.
