General Comments

Where do I start? September 2004, something made me buy this phone, with it's stylish looks and decent specification, plus a decent tariff from 3. Since then, it's all down hill!

One month after ownership, the whole phone died whilst I was typing a text message, ring up 3, came and picked it up the next day, and two days later, get a whole new handset as the phone was 'beyond repair'. I thought it was plain sailing from here on, but now, the phone crackles during a call, people have hung up on me down to the poor quality, wont send text messages to Vodafone, O2 or Orange, keeps switching on and off and to top it all off, the front screen has broke and nothing can be seen.

I have lost complete trust in the phone, as it is my only form of contact with people! 3 say I can have another, or pay £250 for a different model! After all these problems, they should be paying ME £250!

Why are 3 still selling this phone? It was on BBC Watchdog last week with other people's LG 8120 phones doing the same thing!

So reviewing the phone, it has all the features it needs, and performs well WHEN it decides to work! The signal for calls is fine, but 3G calls and download coverage is very poor, especially where I live, I have no use for it at all, so wasting money!

If you are thinking of buying this phone on 3, please don't! Unless you want to wait for couriers to pick the phone up everytime it breaks, which will be every week! If you want to get a phone on 3, look at the Motorola phones, never get an LG unless you want a lot of agro!

Now, I am going to review the network, keep an eye out for my review on 3 in Mobile Networks!
