Have owned it for over 1.5 years and have no major problems except for the one I'm having now. The battery is dying. The phone itself though has definitely been the best phone I've ever owned. I've dropped it more times than I can count and its still kickin. Sound quality can be a little sketchy at times but the ease of use, cool features, and slim sleek design have made it an affordable, tough, and stylish little phone. I wish they were till available through Cingular.</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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=19785#review19785 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=19785#review19785 Thu, 09 Nov 2006 19:07:07 GMT <p><i>amartinez submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I work in a cell phone agent store and I personally have this phone and I love it.

I absolutely loved this phone... it was easy to use, the camera was pretty good for the time (two years ago). It's definitely outdated now, but I found the phone to be extremely durable (until I threw it on a concrete floor, angry at my boyfriend). The outside display was cool, especially because you could set one of your own pictures as the wallpaper. <br /><br />Pros:<br />-Can use music tones, not just polyphonic<br />-Easy to use<br />-Durable<br />-Nice outer display<br />-Camera (it's a pro and a con... technology has gotten better since this phone's initial launch, yet it was pretty darn good for back in '04)<br />-Can use the camera even when the phone is closed... awesome for taking pictures of yourself!<br />-Good sized screen and keys (which light up!)<br /><br />Cons:<br />-A bit on the bulky side<br />-Can't set different ring tones to different numbers<br />-Ring tones tend to switch on their own<br />-Again, the camera... a bit fuzzy.

As of now it is a very outdated phone, but even back when it first came out, my girlfriend had it for Cingular Wireless- and the phone would frequently freeze while calling or sending a text message. The camera resolution would always come out blurry whether or not it was day or night. The ringtones would variously switch without any approval. I would rather use two cans and a string than this 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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=18213#review18213 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=18213#review18213 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 18:10:48 GMT <p><i>moh_smiles submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is prety good for its price.<br />Pros:<br />- Camera<br />- design<br />- seems strong (tuff)<br />- nice big buttons<br />- outside lcd screen is amazing.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />- Very LOW ringing sound...i had it on the table and i cant hear it...that is because teh speaker where the ringtone sound comes out is located in the earpiece...hmm..the phone rings when its closed...so the speaker is inside the flip...prety stupid..tehy should of put the speaker outside so when the phone is closed the speaker wont go inside and get covered up.<br /><br />Anyhow...if you are thinkin of buyin this phone...go for it...however...i'm stickiinng with my NOKIA 6682!! :D now thats a phone!<br /><br />Igghttyy PeAcE</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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=17788#review17788 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=17788#review17788 Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:17:28 GMT <p><i>jck80586 submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I work for a wireless phone company that carries the LG 1400. For anyone interested in buying this phone you may want to keep looking. I have sold many of these phones and regret doing so now. The majority of the phones come back with the complaint, "It doesn't ring and I can't hear people talking on the other end." what is happening here is the negative wire to the speaker somehow disconnects itself from the phone, which disables it. I have been able to fix this for most customers by soldering the cable back to the phone. Most customers wont be that lucky, they will have their phone sent out for repair and after taking a couple months to get it back will only face the same problem again in the near future. So becuase of this problem, I recommend not getting this phone...it will only be a hastle.</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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=17150#review17150 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=17150#review17150 Thu, 15 Jun 2006 21:04:46 GMT <p><i>southernteach submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had 4 other phones, and this one is definitely the worst.

It looks attractive and the front display screen is nice but the over all quality of the phone is very disappointing and I will never get another LG phone.<br />The biggest problem I have with the phone is the lack of battery life. Even when in standby mode and not used the battery only lasts 2 1/2 days. I charged the phone last night and today after not using the phone I have gone from 4 bars to 3, in 15 hours. The documentation on the Cingular, LG and even this web sites list the battery life as 9 plus days, I would settle for 5 to 7 days like the other phones I have had. The ringtones are hollowing sounding and the few choices it comes with sound bad. There is only one speaker so the ringer shares the speaker you listen with, this means it is covered with the phone is closed, also there is no speaker phone. <br />Overall this is a bad phone and I can't wait to replace 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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=13655#review13655 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=13655#review13655 Sat, 10 Dec 2005 07:43:38 GMT <p><i>Koolio submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Well I have had this phone for almost a year now! amazing i know. This is the only phone Ive actually ever owned but im probably just as experienced or knowledged as anyone else since everyone i know has a cellular device. This phone has almost every detail i can think of except for video but i think thats more of a personal need rather than neccesity. <br /><br />PROS:<br />vibrate and ring<br />excellent pic takeing(although a little slow in the process)<br />internet(media)<br />games are fun<br />original ringtones are nice<br />quick and easy keys<br />very bright!!! almost a flashlight<br />connection is great, travel anywhere and be able to use it<br />download almost anything<br />picture id is nice<br />icons and group numbers <br />lots of memory<br />durable<br />long battery life(often deceiving)<br />images can be on front display<br />different size images<br />charges quickly<br />get email(aol, hotmail, msn, yahoo)<br />text messages are great<br />ringtones and key tones can be diff. vol. levels<br />so many options!!<br />has like 6 different entries per number(home, cell, email address, work...ect.)<br /><br />CONS<br />its bulky and big and i realize there are smaller phones out there<br />media extremely slow<br />cant have <br />calender too simple<br />loud noises when sometimes not wanted...!??!<br />front display scroll may get annoying<br />camera slow, pretty much the whole phone is slow<br />if your using your phone you can see the time or date or something at the same time, you would have to close out of whatever you are doing.<br />no changing face plates! you cant personalize!<br />scratches easily!<br /><br /><br />most cons are simple pet peeves of a phone. This phone is great, but personally after a year you want to upgrade and get a smaller and better one. Overal this phone is great for every need and has excellent service. I use Cingular and im in Seattle and ive always had great people to work with. <br /><br />im going to miss this 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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=13312#review13312 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=13312#review13312 Thu, 24 Nov 2005 21:15:06 GMT <p><i>AMavec submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I like this phone.

'05, and it's been decent so far. But, a few key disappointments are eating away and my tech-loving soul. Let's start with the bad, since that's what everyone is ultimately concerned with:<br /><br />[::CONS::]<br /><br />1. Ringtones. They suck. That's all there is to it. If you like midi-type music ringtones and don't mind paying for them, good for you. But if you want something normal sounding, good luck finding them because they aren't on the phone, or available at any ringtone seller. I had to MAKE my own, and it was a PITA.<br /><br />2. Battery life. Not so great. This is probably because of the super-bright dual TFT displays, and the fact that the battery is only 830 mAh.<br /><br />3. Speakerphone. Doesn't have this feature, which is a shame because the hardware is certainly capable. They just didn't write it into the software. I know this because the voice memos play back loud-speaker style through the earpiece.<br /><br />4. Build quality. After a few months or so the phone will "loosen" up and start making creaking noises. I wish I could give mine a bath in WD40, but that'd probably ruin it.<br /><br />5. Side buttons. The volume controls don't have any contour, but instead are flat against the phone, so you can't feel them while you're talking. Sucks when you need to change the volume without having to look.<br /><br />[::PROS::]<br /><br />1. Beautiful dual TFT color displays with selectable wallpapers for both.<br />2. Sleek form factor with chrome accents and an electric blue button backlight.<br />3. BIG buttons. Definite plus for anyone with big fingers.<br />4. Decent camera with extra features, including light selection, multishot, zoom, and self-portrait.<br />5. Changeable faceplates. (PhoneScoop omitted this feature)<br />6. Voice memo, calculator, unit converter. All useful if you ask me.<br /><br />All in all a good phone (though discontinued and replaced by the C2000), but if ringtones, batterylife, and a speakerphone are important to you, I'd go with something else.</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=573 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=12447#review12447 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=573&r=12447#review12447 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 03:05:46 GMT <p><i>Kyle_Wright submitted this review of the LG L1400 / C1400:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone...sucks!!!
