      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;rrgsg submitted this review of the LG PM-225:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;0&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I got this phone (without any research) on one of my "contract renewals" and boy was I wrong! This phone didn't really have any cool settings or anything special, but I thought "as long as it works". WRONG! This phone sometimes freezes. It doesn't let me answer a call from time to time. Sometimes NO reception at all, when my husband's SAMSUNG A920 on the same plan, has perfect reception. (which his is a great phone by the way). People will call me, and it never rang. now after time, the screen turns SO dark, I have to rub it hard to get any picture at all. The camera wont' take any pictures anymore. and ON and ON. I took it in, because I have insurance on it, and the service center says it has water damage; I don't recall getting it wet. So YES my next phone will NOT be this one!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I like the features: personalized ring tones, easy set navigation keys, etc. It is a little thicker than I like, but it feels rugged and is comfortable to hold. I recently "traded up" to a Sanyo Katana II, which I hate!!! I would trade back in a flash.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Bought new charger, thought that would fix. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3-07, Sprint Store said the battery could be the problem. Bought new battery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4-07, phone wouldn't hold charge but worked sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5-07, stopped working, couldn't use even when it was "charging" or plugged in. Geez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-2-07, Sprint Store, waited 2 hours, told its dead, they would replace. 1 hour later got a "new" refurbished phone. Promised it would work. (all my stored stuff is gone as phone was dead)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-3-07, plugged phone in to charge. Nothing happened, exact same problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-5-07, called Sprint with my husband. Wanted different phone, Did not trust this model. Told by the tech dept @ Sprint that this phone was bad. Her cousin went through like 5 in 2 months. Gave recommendation. LONG process of trying to replace phone with recommended phone. Account Remittance, told it would be free to do this, Customer Support Sales, Supervisor that Dept, (transfered, promised to stay on line but didn't), then Corporate Sales, I had a discount through my work. Now Sprint wanted to charge for the phone "upgrade" $30.00 + shipping, Promised Free. Not ok. Canceled my service due to Sprint being unable to fulfill promises and unwillingness to provide equipment to access network. 4 1/2 hours on phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sprint breached contract in my opinion. But no, they don't see it that way, I canceled the service. Current and paid up to date, hadn't used the service for over 2 months at that point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Account now in collections for $245 or so. Dispute this. Told Sprint to let a judge decide on who owes who.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros - not worth the trouble&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons - battery not charging&lt;br /&gt;       delay I never knew if it was on vibrate or not&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommend RUN not walk not only from this phone but from Sprint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sprint knew bad phone did nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Cingular, happy with a Sync phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Wish I had it back. I don't know why some people give this phone bad reviews unless it's because they're comparing it to more expensive top of the line phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;Sound quality was great and a consistent level.&lt;br /&gt;Camera was pretty good. Clear sharp pictures.&lt;br /&gt;Screen was bright and clear.&lt;br /&gt;Interface was easy to use with lots of features.&lt;br /&gt;Lightweight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;Slow keypad response at times. I don't text message so it was no problem to me.&lt;br /&gt;Camera button on side of phone was too easy to accidently turn on camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would recommend this phone as a good entry level phone or for someone who doesn't care about all the latest gadgets.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The phone was replaced within the first week due to "water damage"... I found it odd though because i plugged it in to the charger and went to bed and in the morning i couldn't get it to turn on...it worked fine the night before and then not at all a few hours later...(without being near water unless of course it can walk.Then the battery swelled and was replaced 4 months ago, and the entire phone was replaced about 1 month ago because it was logging into the internet,and shutting off and back on. I could plug it in to the charger (at dead or almost dead) and it would only charge a few seconds before proclaiming that the battery is fully charged. Unplug it and the battery bar is full... for about 5 seconds. I hate this phone... so they replaced it a month ago and i am now having the same problem again except this time i cant even talk on it when its plugged in because there is a bad connection. I loved the look of the phone but the quality is awful i cant wait until my contract is up!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Screw the Razr- they're junk.  Think the Dorado is good. Yeah right!  Lg pm 225 is at the top of the hit list.  For all those donkeys that haven't had as good a cell phone experience as I have- get in with the new!  Get a lg today and you'll start to love life much much more.  No more dropped calls, no more dead battery, and no more pathetic life.  Maybe. It all depends on if  you act and get the lg.  Life's Good- LG&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

ITS A PHONE PEOPLE IF YOU WANT A GOOD PICTURE GET A CAMERA. It takes a while for the camera to power up and power down. When charging the front screen stays on and its so bright if your charging it during the night it almost lights up your whole room!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Overall the phone is good and i recomend it! And some other people are saying that it dosent get good recption because that depends were u are and were the towers are!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

This is my 3rd PM225 and the worst. My first one was red, which was pretty cool.  But i dropped it into the pool, it then started calling people and taking pictures(wich are the worst that i've ever seen before anyway)on its own. So i take it into the Sprint Store, having to wait about 3 hours. they come out to me saying that it was water damaged(well i told them that in the first place) and MAKE me pay 50$ for another one.  So i had that one for about another 4 months and that one starts to stop calling people. So I take it into my favorite place in the world, the dreaded Sprint Store.  I wait for about an hour and then they told me that they were to lazy to fix it so the give me another one.  But this time it was silver (which looks pretty ugly) and the inside logo was the old one.  So ive had that one up til now, and so far the outside screen has stoped working so i have no idea who is calling me and the inside screen was dead but i had to take it apart and managed to fix it.  I have kept it like that and am waithng till christmas for my new lg Fusic BABY! i am so excited as my phone is a peice of %4@&amp;amp;$*DG#!!!!&lt;br /&gt;PROS&lt;br /&gt;it "had" a color exterior screen&lt;br /&gt;You know, to tell u the truth, i cant think of anything, honstly!&lt;br /&gt;CONS&lt;br /&gt;The camera SUCKS!!&lt;br /&gt;the camera button on the side of the phone fires up the camera whan in you pocket, taking about 5 pictures without u knowing&lt;br /&gt;there are so many cons that all i can say is that DONT BUT THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;emouth1 submitted this review of the LG PM-225:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;0&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I sell this phone.  It's popularly considered one of the worst phones ever offered by my carrier.  Unequivocally, I have never repaired, replaced, or received more complaints about any other phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: It was free for awhiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;1) TERRIBLE reception.&lt;br /&gt;2) Batteries for this model frequently swell.&lt;br /&gt;3) Phone has a tendency to overheat.&lt;br /&gt;4) Screen breaks relatively easily.&lt;br /&gt;5) Phone is VERY sensitive to heat and liquid damage.&lt;br /&gt;6) Battery life is bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Run, hide the children from this phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;awells3 submitted this review of the LG PM-225:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;1&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have had this phone for less than a year.  I bought because it was fairly inexpensive and I thought it was like my old phone which finally died after being run over by several cars.  I was dead wrong.  The camera is worthless as the picture quality sucks.  The "power saver mode" is a ridiculous idea, it keeps the screen lit for about a minute when you close the phone, wasting precious battery life. If you are on a call, after a minute everything goes blank so you can't see how long the call is, etc.  Sometimes it logs onto to the internet by itself for no reason and you have to turn the phone off to log off.  The way text messages work is just absurd, take my word on this.  Up until a few days ago it would sometimes not ring or show someone called, but you would get a voicemail if the caller left one.  Now it does that ALWAYS, it won't say that you missed a call unless you go into the menu and look at the missed calls screen.  It no longer always I send text messages either.  The battery life is poor, requiring charged every two days with minimal use.  The charger itself is temperamental as well, requiring the jack to be in an exact position.  Too many times has the phone displayed that it had half battery life left, then I would get a call, speak for about a minute, then it would die without warning.  The speakerphone is alright, and it does have a big contact list, but it is set up so that can have several numbers per contact, but you can only assign one of the numbers for speed dial, so it is kind of pointless to have it set up that way if you use speed dial.  Also, if you don't put a lock on the camera, it will take pictures in your pocket and drain the battery even more.  The geniuses at LG decided to put the camera button on the side and it is extremely sensitive.  I think that about covers it.  I will never buy another product from LG again.  Buyer beware&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Not even a week after I got this phone it started to squeak when I opened it. I have sprint and I live in Boston, I swear that I could be standing next to a gigantic telephone pole and I still wouldn't get any service. The speaker phone doesn't work either. The louder you turn up the volume the crappier it comes out. The battery is awful. My battery will be like on the last little bar, so I put it on that charger and when it is full I will take it of the charger and like five minutes later it will die on me and I be like what the crap I just took you of the charger. I could go on and on about how much this phone sucks but unfortunately I have a life and have to get back to it. peace out homies!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

(and friend and i would be on our cells, going through the same area... and she'd keep service but my call would drop.)&lt;br /&gt;- the camera quality isn't great. it takes mediocre pictures at best, even in high resolution. it also doesn't have a flash.&lt;br /&gt;- the battery life is lacking. and once your phone beeps to signal you need to recharge your phone, it shuts off within thirty seconds. so unless your charger is right next to you...&lt;br /&gt;- the phone has a delay, whether it's for your phonebook, getting on the web, of accessing features.&lt;br /&gt;- the speaker feature isn't good. you might as well not use it because you can't hear what the other person is saying and after each of your sentences the person asks, "what?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i actually had a big problem with the battery and sprint itself. i had my phone for two, maybe three months. and my battery stopped charging. to get the phone to fully charge, i'd have to plug it in, unplug it, plug it in, unplug it, etc. because the phone would only charge for about fifteen seconds. so i went back to sprint, and they said it would be $50 for the same phone. (my friend, with the same model phone, did that. and hers just died again.) i told them i'd think about it. i called customer service and they never gave me a straight answer. to make a long story short, instead of paying sprint $50, i went online and bought a battery from overseas for $15. my phone works fine, but i'm switching to verizon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;djsteiniii submitted this review of the LG PM-225:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;1&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My wife and I both have one of these phones.  My phone gets great reception, hers is TERRIBLE.  My opinion is that every other function besides the phone is horrible.  The response is slow, even using simple applications.  Features are terrible - you cannot set defaults for many functions (e.g. default reminder tone, default reminder snooze period).  You cannot specify "none" as a ringer for pesky numbers (i.e. you have to specify a ring-tone, even if you don't want to be bothered).  The "battery Low" warning is absolutely USELESS - it should be renamed to "Shutoff in Progress" warning; the phone beeps once and begins shutting down.  Shutting down and powering up the phone take forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;The different functions are generally easy to find, and the menus are easy to navigate.  You can compose text messages without going on line (something my last Sanyo phone lacked).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

This is the worst phone of the 5 that I have owned as a Sprint user. I get terrible reception in the same areas that I used to get great reception with my old phone. The battery life is short. Those two things define a phone. If you don't have those, you have nothing!!! The camera sucks and has no flash.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
