I bought it to replace my old N400. I was not disappointed with this phone. The bigger screen was a plus and the colors are vibrant. It plays games relatively well and has good memory. I was very pleased with the 2 way text messaging feature, especially after being used to accessing the web on my other phone. The signal was better on this phone than on my N400. Great basic phone, worth every penny.</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=13723#review13723 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=13723#review13723 Mon, 12 Dec 2005 16:33:44 GMT <p><i>munkey submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Taking a chance by the reviews on this website I bought this phone used off of Ebay. I must say that it WAS NOT a mistake. This is a great little phone that I have had nothing but good things to say about. The screen is large and very clear. The phone overall is beyond anything I expected I highly recommend this phone! The only con that I could find about it was I have downloaded a lot of ringtones and the speaker quality at high volumes is a little muffled, beyond that this is a great phone!</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=12456#review12456 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=12456#review12456 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 18:04:11 GMT <p><i>rsgros submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>After having a boring Nokia I felt like I was really coming up into the world with my LG VI-5225 until I used it for a month. It dropped more calls than I made and could not make connections except in a larger city. Sprint replaced it with a Samsung VI-A820 and it seems to have much much better coverage.</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=10865#review10865 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=10865#review10865 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 22:00:28 GMT <p><i>MizzThang89 submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>When I first got this phone I loved it. I don't know if it was because I just came from having a boring Nokia. But, anyways the phone is a descent phone. Not worth your money, but it's descent.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Big Screen<br />Good Sound<br />Menu is Simple to Use<br />Good Signal<br /><br />Cons:<br />After 10 min. your face gets really hot<br /><br />I would have a full battery yet my phone would turn off<br /><br />See not that many cons. but even so this phone is not worth your money. You can get better phones with more features for better prices. Really wouldn't recommend this to anyone at all.</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=9990#review9990 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=9990#review9990 Mon, 30 May 2005 21:16:26 GMT <p><i>Jebus254 submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Good simple phone<br /><br />This LG 5225 is a good choice, mainly if you are just looking for a phone to talk on. Nothing fancy just a telecommunication device, I think that this is a good phone for older people and younger kids, and anyone who wants thier phone to talk on. If you think back LG when it was Touchpoint, They were the frist in america to have external Caller ID, with thier touchpoint 1100<br /><br />Pros<br />External Caller ID<br />Really Compact<br />Good battery life<br /><br />Cons<br />Not a gaming phone<br />Bad grapphics<br />Limited ring quality</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=9980#review9980 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=9980#review9980 Sun, 29 May 2005 17:49:22 GMT <p><i>CellDude405 submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Problems I had w/ this phone: <br />1.

My friend bought right when it came out and hasn't switched ever since. She swears by this phone.. <br />I don't currently have a cell phone so I always use her's, and I am very pleased. Of course I don't own it but I use it enough to. I asked for this phone for my birthday and I cannot wait to recieve it.<br />It has very many great details, you can downloadable ringtones, wallpaper, games and it has a mobile browser. It has an external display which is very helpful. Another thing I love about it is that it has an internal antenna, it gets as great as a phone with an external and looks much nicer. My friend tells me she's never dropped a call and the polyphonic ringtones are both loud and sound nice. <br />It gets good reception with bell mobility around Toronto. <br />The only cons I could think of are that sometimes games can get slow.. And that it's a bit hard to see in the sunlight. But if you get to know your phone well and where everything is on it then that won't be a problem.<br />SO overall this is one of the best LG phones, I've encountered (I come from a long line of family with LG). And it's worth your money!</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=7620#review7620 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=7620#review7620 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 01:03:22 GMT <p><i>the2ndflood submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I was given the LG VI5225 free with my new contract. It has been four months, and I am already sick of this stupid phone. The color display of the screen is really weak. My Jessica Alba wallpaper looks really pathetic.<br />Now, this is my second LG VI5225, because my first one would time-out while trying to access web WAP sites. Now not really much to my surprise, my second LG does the same exact thing. I find myself waiting for the browser to time-out, then I click the "Back" button to stop the process, then press the "OK" button again. I have to do this more times then not, so I have not been able to take advantage of Sprint PCS's high speed data access.<br />The phone has no analog roaming, which is a plus and a downfall. I would rather have the analog capability there when I need it.<br />The battery life is poor, even with the extended battery. The phone gets really hot when you talk on it for more then 10 minutes. But with the poor battery life, you won't have to endure the heat for very long. On a good day, with the strongest signal possible, I will get two hours of talk time. Again, that is with a 1400 mAh extended battery.<br /><br />In all, the phone is okay, but I'm glad Sprint discontinued. I will just use my Sanyo until Motorola makes a better phone for Sprint-Nextel.<br /><br />Russell</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=7047#review7047 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=7047#review7047 Mon, 06 Dec 2004 17:22:59 GMT <p><i>littlegirl0825 submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I haven't got my phone yet i am getting it for Christmas but with all the things it says the phone has i love it and i cant wait to get it!!!!!!!!!!!</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=6967#review6967 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=6967#review6967 Thu, 02 Dec 2004 14:08:53 GMT <p><i>Sarah78 submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just got this phone through Sprint about a week ago. It was the only one in the $30.00 category with an outside caller ID. The menu is easy to use. It comes with quite a few ringers, and you can download more, and set custom ringers for each caller in your phone book. It only came with one game, solitaire, which I still have not figured out, but you can always download more. The only con I've found so far is when I received a text message, it wouldn't delete. I erased it several times, but it kept coming back saying I had a new message. The rep at Sprint said it was a software update issue and they didn't know when the update would be available so I could trade it in if I wanted. Shortly after that though the message finally went away so I've decided to keep it, I like everything else about it. Great reception, colorful display, strong vibrate, fun ringers. Great buy!!</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=351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=5772#review5772 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=351&r=5772#review5772 Sat, 25 Sep 2004 17:45:00 GMT <p><i>boe submitted this review of the LG VI5225 / 5400A:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I can't find anything in the manual about voicedial - my old 5350 had 30 numbers which wasn't enough.

LG has a winner on it's hands and they are coming out swinging with great introductory pricing. It's a truly full-featured Sprint PCS flip phone with no external antenna sticking out of it! It's compact, the charcoal body and chrome interior looks great, and if you don't need a camera it's got all the most important features: good battery life, external caller ID, speakerphone, etc. This one's a winner.</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=351
