General Comments

Very nice looking phone, but undoubtedly the worst I've owned since my first Motorola house brick in the early 90's. I rarely if ever had a usable signal inside any building, and the phone, as an added bonus feature presumably, actually only notified me of approximately 1 in 5 missed calls.
Bluetooth is unusable with TomTom or as a wireless modem because LG have apparently messed with the standard just enough to render it entirely useless.
Battery life is laughable - I was unable to receive or make calls pretty much everywhere I went, so the phone was mainly on standby, lasting less than 48 hours between charges. If I was lucky enough to make a call, the battery would be flat in under 15 minutes.
I only tried this because I was bored with Nokias, but I'm pleased to have gone back to them.
