My main criteria for a phone is it's funcionality as a clear, consistent land line replacement, and this one fits the bill. I love the feel of it. Relative to my older phones, it's lightweight and compact, and battery life seems good. Clarity with Bluetooth is awesome. Reception and call quality are top notch, including very good results when using outside... even with wind.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Call clarity<br />Excellent bluetooth functionality<br />Very good battery life<br />Screen quality<br />Overall quality (although it is early)<br /><br />Cons:<br />N/A</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1304 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=30341#review30341 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=30341#review30341 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:30:40 GMT <p><i>Drunk submitted this review of the LG Wave AX-380 / UX-380:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you have the older version of the software it's a great phone. Make sure you don't update it. If you do you will lose your ability to use mp3's as ring tones. That's the best part of this phone. Most unlocked GSM phones will let you use your own music to make a ringtone. Well in CDMA land we can't. It's about money with them... not the customer. So this phone was the little rebel that made me stick with CDMA for a little while longer.

I had one of these phones, HAD. It was a very good phone. (I didnt trade it away. It broke, i didnt have insurance so i got a new one.) Its cool and all but it gets boring after 5 months. I am telling you, You CANNOT get a contract with this phone for 2 years. It will SUCK! No joke. Its messageing is good. But I'm telling you people, it will slowly and slowly (but surely) start to mess up. 1st its one little thing, then another, before you know it, you cant text hear music, record videos....... Oh and i traded this phone for the LG Scoop. (YOU can last 5 years with this! REad my full review over this phone. Search LG Scoop here in Phonescoop, and Search in recent. I posted that today as well.) But anyways back to the wave...thats about it. So text me if u have any questions over the wave (or the scoop). 479-353-5467 ( I have the scoop now so it'd be better if u texted me with the scoop.)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1304 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=30017#review30017 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=30017#review30017 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:52:37 GMT <p><i>trobbins43 submitted this review of the LG Wave AX-380 / UX-380:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>For what it is, I'm pretty satisfied for how it performs.

I did have to pay about $125. for the phone (there are also used ones for less), but felt it was worth it. The reception is fantastic...my last phone would drop calls or not complete them even with 2-3 bars and I could not make calls from my rural home. Now I can so I'm contemplating getting rid of my landline.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Slim, fits in my pocket easily. I don't like to use a holster.<br />Battery life seems to be at least a couple days, maybe longer, between charges.<br />It gets good reception in areas where my previous phone (LG AX5000) would not. I can now make calls from my rural home/office, where I couldn't before. Even when it shows just 1 bar, I can make a call.<br />I didn't buy it for the MP3 player, but found it easy to use, just copy songs over to a microSD card, pop it in the phone, and it found them and plays them. No software, no special connectors, no problems.<br />It has an external antenna jack (hidden under a rubber plug you pull out, below the battery, visible when you take off the back cover). I use an external antenna in my car, I'm in a rural area.<br />It has a standard headset plug, which I also like.<br /><br />Cons<br />Stupid programming by Alltel of main keys, such as Celltop, Axcess Aps, etc., which are of no value whatsoever to me. Unfortunately you cannot reprogram these keys but you don't have to use them.<br /><br />After spending about a week researching phones, it never ceases to amaze me how some phones work very poorly while others perform very well, even from the same manufacturer. I'm grateful for this website which lets consumers compare factual information since Alltel and others information cannot be relied upon.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1304 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=29022#review29022 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=29022#review29022 Wed, 21 May 2008 22:24:31 GMT <p><i>BeckyOnly submitted this review of the LG Wave AX-380 / UX-380:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Its simple and has great features and its very attractive.

The first LG I had was the 5550 and I don't think they made a crappier phone with regard to reception EVER! My main concern about any phone is its reception as I live in a rural area that has low reception. I was concerned at first because this phone is only dual-mode, rather than tri-mode which I thought would influence the phone's ability to remain connected when in use, but my fears were unwarranted. The reception is excellent, even when there is only one bar (which is commonly the case for me at home). <br /><br />I love the look of this phone. It's very seek and sexy, especially as it fades from red to black. <br /><br />The camera is decent quality and I like that you can zoom in and out and change the brightness before you take the picture, although a flash would certainly enhance the overall quality of picture.<br /><br />Although I have yet to use the music player on this phone(waiting for my next paycheck to buy the micro SD card), it was one of the major reasons that I was interested in the phone in the first place. It can take up to a 4gb micro SD card, enabling the phone to store up to 1000 songs. Another good aspect about the phone in music mode is that it has a 2.5mm stereo headphone jack, which can easily be adapted to a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, making it inexpensive to listen to your music.<br /><br />I'm very happy with this phone and have yet to come across any limitations that I feel are worth decreasing my 5 star rating. The battery life with only talking and texting is excellent. I'll just have to wait and see how using the music function will influence the battery life. <br /><br />If you are looking for a phone with great reception, decent camera, and music capabilities, I highly recommend the LG UX380. It has changed my experience with LG from bad to good! Glad I gave it a shot.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1304 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=27487#review27487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=27487#review27487 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:50:30 GMT <p><i>nlittleadmin submitted this review of the LG Wave AX-380 / UX-380:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>In my opinion, this is the first time LG has made a phone that makes sense... It has loads of great features, looks nice, a little bulky, but nice.

I have had a blue tooth on other phones for a couple years with this phone it makes me say an extra step before it dials, which is frustrating. Plus some how I ended up with a couple icons that I can find no info on or how to remove them. I also somehow managed to turn off the ringer (duh) and haven't figured out how to turn that back on. I love the color, the size, graphics, but it is more complicated then the razr I had or whatever I had prior. I haven't decided if I want to keep working on this or return and go back to a razr.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1304 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=26672#review26672 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1304&r=26672#review26672 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:40:51 GMT <p><i>ommpah_lummpah submitted this review of the LG Wave AX-380 / UX-380:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i have been with alltel almost 2 years.

Right from the start it looks great, feels solid and is easy to use. If you are looking for a great phone loaded with features but don't want to have to sell a kidney, this would be worth looking at. The Celltop feature that Alltel offers comes in handy and it is great that it already comes installed with many cells that prove to be useful. Sure it uses airtime minutes, but It's never anymore than your average call for information that is great to have at the touch of a button. <br /><br />PROs:<br /><br />Nice battery life.<br />Great camera<br />Video<br />Fast response time for everything<br />Nice keypad for texting<br />Texting learns!<br />Looks great<br />Excellent reception<br />Great options that make it easy to customize<br />A good size<br />Screen is very nice<br />USB<br />Music<br /><br />CONs:<br /><br />There really isn't anything I don't like.
