Summary: LG 1200 Empty Battery problem
Review: I have only had this phone for six months. I am not a "heavy" cell phone user and only charge the battery when I'm down to 1 or 2 bars. I am having a problem that is sporadic; the battery indicates full charge however when I turn it off and on again the battery will suddenly drop from full charge to "empty" (no charge at all). In my opinion there seems to be a problem in the "on/off" button. I have phoned Sprint to ask if they are aware of any design problems; their employees say, "yes, but not exactly like that, but you can bring it in if you want to." I will make the trip to the nearest Sprint store (about 40 miles away) as I do not feel secure that this phone is reliable. I have spoken with two other people who have stated they were not satisfied with "LG" models in general and upgraded to a better phone. I wonder if this is a case of "premature" planned product obsolescence?

Summary: Exterior Display Screen! GONE!
Review: I've had this phone for just a little over a year. The display screen has totally faded, which means that I no longer have an exterior caller ID, which really sucks. I took the phone to Sprint to see what they could do and they told me I was just slightly out my warranty and I could 1. get a new phone or 2. get the insurance, wait a few weeks and then send in a $35 deductible for a replacement. Well I don't think so. I'm switching to VERIZON. SPRINT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. They don't do anything to keep their customers happy.

Summary: Ok for free
Review: I've had this phone since last August when I moved to Annandale-on-Hudson, NY as I was told Sprint's service went there. Verizon is really better if you're in this area, thoughl. Sprint is okay, but it's hard to get service indoors.

The phone itself is ok. I got it for free when I bought it here at amazon and signed a year contract. I haven't had the battery issues some of these other reviewers have, but my outside display is missing several lines making it impossible to read. I've heard this is a common problem. I also use my phone for long conversations with parents and friends at home and the phone gets quite hot if you talk on it for more than 30 minutes. It's nice that it's flip though so that the buttons and screen don't get messed up and it's pretty hardy - I've dropped mine a few times.

If you can get this phone for free, it's good - it has the basic functions and a nice alarm (with snooze) in the calendar function and has a big address book with multiple listing, so you can have two mobile, two office, and two home numbers for one person.

Summary: AVOID!!!
Review: Nice compact size, but..........
display faded within weeks of initial use. the AC adapter also died suddenly. I think the manufacturers and Sprint have noticed, so they replace it with the Samsung A460 instead. Can't stand the A460 either - features too cumbersome to use. Anyway, avoid, avoid, avoid, no matter how cute it looks.
