Of course by today's standards the features on the phone are outdated, but it has lasted me this long and has been pretty good.<br /><br />Biggest complaint (and I've heard this from others too) is that after a while, the battery life really starts to suck. Sometimes the battery would drain after just 30 mins of talking. Buying an extended battery fixed that issue.<br /><br />Also the little button on the back of the phone so you can open up the battery compartment broke, so I don't know if that is an issue with just my phone or what. Overall though, it's a pretty solid 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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=21852#review21852 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=21852#review21852 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:18:36 GMT <p><i>jen submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the WORST phone I have ever had. It's so bad, I'm glad I lost it so I could reactivate my old Sanyo-8100. This phone could not hold a charge, had a horrible camera, and often dropped calls. Of course, part of the problem lies with Sprint PCS. On the positive side, the phone was cute and easy to use (I never had a problem with the small buttons).</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=21585#review21585 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=21585#review21585 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 06:58:04 GMT <p><i>Night_Angel submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have been with this phone for two years, so I know all the scoop on it...<br /> It has been a really good phone overall, but like all phones, it has its ups and downs.<br />PROS- <br />-Great size, fits in my smallest pockets.<br />-Unique slide feature<br />-good standard ringtones<br />-great color<br />-easy to understand<br />-compact<br />-Once you get the hang of the texting keypad and process, its SO much easier and faster.

It worked great and I loved it for the first... maybe 4 months. When I went to sign up for my own phone for the first time, I went to Sprint for their early nighrs, pretty inexpensive plans and their low per min rate if you go over. I saw this phone, thought "That's the one I want!" Then saw the price tag for $200. Luckily, the employee at the kiosk was eager to make some commission and sold the phone to me for $50. Now I see why... The buttons started not working, I couldn't even send my pictures I took though they said I could. The battery would only stay charged for like... two hours. Thank goodness this was one phone Sprint didn't make that you have to connect to the Internet to text. It was great for a short time use phone, then I gave it to my sister and let her deal with the consistently failing features.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=19983#review19983 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=19983#review19983 Sat, 18 Nov 2006 20:00:37 GMT <p><i>aarona1991 submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>When I saw this phone at the Sprint Store, I was amazed, i mean look at it!

It has a policy that the warranty of this phone is invalid if the litmus paper in the battery shows that the phone got wet. Guess what, all the people whose phones I have checked already have batteries that say the phone got wet. None of these phone have gotten wet. So if you don't have insurance you will have to buy a new phone, if you phone breaks for whatever reason, which for this phone is 200.00. If you do have insurance it has a 50/00 deductible. <br />You, the consumer are out 50-200 dollars since this so called battery that says you got you phone wet and that invalidates your warranty. <br />A single family had three of these phones, all adults and all of the phones have died within a few months.<br />buyer beware.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=14571#review14571 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=14571#review14571 Tue, 17 Jan 2006 21:08:58 GMT <p><i>drum teacher submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The only good aspect of this phone, is that it can make and receive phone calls. I am currently on my third replacement of this phone. Constantly the keys start to loose their function. Every two months after i get the replacement the keys do the same thing as the Provo's phone. Everyone mentions the bluetooth capability of this phone, but the only thing is to use a head set and as everyone else has mentioned, it echos to the point that the conversations have to be stoped.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=14158#review14158 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=14158#review14158 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 05:21:08 GMT <p><i>AOAO123 submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>OK I love this phone but it in the pass year I had to replace it 3 times... one time I could hear out if it then a nother time the slider part of it just fell of and was just hanging there.

It's cute and small (you don't have to open the slide to talk on it). I like the slide becuase not that many people have slide phones and I like to be different (except that now 3 of my friends got the same phone b/c it's so awesome). However, I wanted to post the problem I have had so that people will be aware of what MAY happen. I got this phone in April, it recently started to turn itself off. It would be sitting on a table minding its own business and I would pick it up to use it and it would be completely turned off, regardless of the fact that the battery was fully charged. So I took it to Sprint and they ordered me a new one. The 2nd one turned itself off in the middle of conversations, again with a fully charged battery. So Sprint ordered me a 3rd phone. While waiting for the 3rd phone, the 2nd one would go through stints where it wouldn't turn on for hours at a time and then all of a sudden it was ready to work for you. I got the 3rd one yesterday and so far so good. I even called Sprint when the 1st started acting up and they don't know of any "factory defects" in this phone so I don't know what the deal is, but just know that you're not the only one if it happens to you. Despite all that, I love this phone, its easy to use and I can't wait to get the wireless headset.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=13130#review13130 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=13130#review13130 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 21:27:15 GMT <p><i>psychoboy66 submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this is a great phone... i love it cause its not a flip phone and its something different ... it gets pretty good service just about anywhere and its small and easy to carry... but its really hard to hold on ur shoulder and talk.. it has blue tooth and all that good stuff.. but the only thing that dissapoints me is that it does not have speaker phone... and i took it up to the mountain with me and got good service and it is water proof cause my phone got soaked when i was snowboarding and it still works great but overall its a good 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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12605#review12605 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12605#review12605 Wed, 19 Oct 2005 02:46:39 GMT <p><i>stx submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have been a Sprint PCS customer for about 10 years now and have owned probably 15 phones in that span. This phone certainly has some strong positives over previous phones I have owned, but also some significant shortcomings as well.<br /><br />Most of the pros have been already listed:<br /><br />- Bluetooth headset capability (strong plus)<br />- slide phone (I prefer this over clamshell)<br />- nice screen<br />- internal antenna (this may also be a con - see below)<br />- etc., etc.<br /><br />But the cons for me are what hurt this phone:<br /><br />- reception for me is definitely below average with this phone. Again, I have owned several Sprint phones and know that there are many other Sprint phones that have much better reception around my area (Raleigh-Durham, NC). This is very frustrating because where my other phones worked in my house, this one does not get reception. It may be because of the internal antenna, but I have replaced this phone twice and have had the same result with both (same after the software upgrades too). You may be in a location where the reception is fine, so I would definitely check this out first before buying the phone.<br />- no speakerphone. This especially stinks when your bluetooth headset battery runs out.<br />- web browser appears to be slower than previous phones. In any event, it is way slower than it should be given other phones/services - but that may be a Sprint statement rather than the phone.<br />- vibrate ring is weak. It works if you are sitting still during a meeting, but if I am walking with a client and don't want a loud ring, I almost always miss the call.<br /><br />This phone would have been the perfect phone for me if they could have just fixed these cons. The poor reception is what is going to make me either return the phone or choose a different carrier if they don't take it back.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12499#review12499 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12499#review12499 Thu, 13 Oct 2005 06:57:03 GMT <p><i>luvvzw submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i just got this phone today, and i bet i'd be reeeealllll happy with it if sprint got up and activated it (it's been 8 hours and i still cant use it). i'm a regular verizon customer and had a samsung a650 but had to get a new phone asap due to a little mishap (u can read about it in my review for that phone...it's kinda funny). anyway i couldnt renew my contract and get a cheap phone til 2007 (!) so i had my boyfriend add a 3rd line to his sprint service. this phone caught my eye for 2 reasons (1) the price and (2) the look. ive always wanted a sliding phone but ive heard so many bad things about them (pieces of flimsy junk etc). this one seems sturdy enough not break right away. it's light and compact, and the ringer is LOUD which is great for someone who's losing their hearing like me. the ear piece volume was on medium high and i could barely hear anything, but once i switched it to high it was good. the screen is bigger than most flip phones which is a plus, and i luv that u can slide it back and still see all the important parts on the on screen display. the colors are great too by the way. and so are the preinstalled ringers. the charger is also very convenient because it plugs right into the phone. i'm a big fan of lg phones because of their durability, so i'm hoping this will be no exception. i dont really use bluetooth so i'm not concerned about that. i'm really disappointed with the camera; it's just terrible. even in the light u can hardly see anything but a blur. but as one reviewer mentioned, if u want great quality get a digital camera. maybe better picture quality and video clips would make me wanna show off the phone a little more. but all in all i love it....so far. when my verizon contract is up in 2007 i hope they offer a similar phone.<br />so all in all, nice phone; i'd certainly recommend it to a loved one, maybe even buy 'em one for christmas. the earpiece volume could be louder, but that's my only gripe for now.</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=553 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12377#review12377 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=553&r=12377#review12377 Thu, 06 Oct 2005 01:29:53 GMT <p><i>goorioles747 submitted this review of the LG PM-325:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone early in 005 recently after it came out. the 0 key stopped working and it kept taking things off of my plan. so i got it replaced under warrenty and it started turning off randomly.

I have had this phone for about 6 months and primarily purchased this model because of the size and form factor.<br /><br />I travel allot with my job and rely on a cell phone to communicate with colleagues and customers on a daily bases. I am not a causal user so I did a lot of research before selecting this model and since purchasing the phone I have not been very happy with the performance.<br /><br />The first problem is that this phone does re-set when used for long periods of time (conference calls etc). I had to replace my first phone after 3 months because of this problem and my new phone behaves the same way. This is definitely an overheating issue but I do not know if this is due to a bad batch of phones or if this is a common problem with this model.<br /><br />Secondly I consistently experience roaming issues where this phone will stick to a tower until it drops the call at which point you will get full signal strength. I have never experienced this problem with any other phone on a Sprint network and have reported this problem to Sprint multiple times with no resolution. This problem can only be attributed to software and I can only assume a future firmware update will correct this problem.<br /><br />This phone is ideal for causal users but I would not recommend it for power users. If you plan on using this phone for business there are definitely better phones on the market that are more reliable.<br /><br />Pro's:<br /><br />- Screen<br />- User Interface<br />- Form Factor<br />- Robust<br />- Battery<br /><br />Con's<br /><br />- Crippled Bluetooth<br />- Roaming<br />- Small Keypad<br />- Overheats</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=553
