Why does T-Mobile USA refuse to carry LG phones?
I was wondering, why do they refuse to carry LG phones? AT&T has 'em, so does Verizon, even Sprint...heck, even T-Mobile UK and overseas carries some LG phones!
I just feel like the T is losing opportunities here since LG seems to blow a whole lot of phones out. Anybody else ever pondered this very question?
Latest Garbage.
Low Grade.
Whatever name you want to give them, they all apply. The problem with LG is that 99% of their phones are horribly built. They do a great job of making absolutely beautiful phones. It suckers you into buying one, and then you realize everything about the phone is horrible. The software, the hardware, everything is garbage. Just ask anyone who bought a Chocolate. What a piece that is/was. And the Dare? The Voyagar? All horrible quality phones. Beautiful, but horrible quality.
Its the same reason T-Mobile ditched Palm a few years back. Why would they sign an agreement with a company that puts out such horrible phones. Even though the carrier doesn't make the phones, the carrier is the on...

LG's made some really good phones as well. a good chunk of the issues with the Voyager/Dare were customers not understanding them. The biggest thing with touch screens is people putting them in their back pocket and wondering why the screen cracks.
I see more people with Faulty Glydes than I do anone with an LG that just stopped working for some unknown reason.
People putting phones in their back pocket and breaking them is not unique to touch screens. I had a customer yesterday who did that with a flip phone. Inherently you will find a large chunk of just plain stupid customers. I had a guy yesterday who snapped a T229 in half. His excuse? "Well it shouldn't." This guy was an idiot.
And the Glyde was a POS too. Every manufacturer puts a POS out every once in a while, but I think LG and Motorola take the blue ribbon for that. I'm not saying every phone they pu...

I sell verizon, and even though a majority of phones I sell are LG (it is the brand my retailer seems to like the most) they are the brand least likely to be returned with issues.
The main exception being the 8350 (for cheap plastic) and of course the mistake known as the chocolate, but even the chocolate3 seems to work really well around here.
Motorola/Samsung phones seem to suffer from poor build quality, buggy software, and bad batteries far more often than the LG's we sell do.
Maybe it could just be this area, but in the NorthEast/Midwest LG's seem to work really well on Verizon's network. I do know that ATT struggles with them a lot more than we do.
I can't vouch too much for LGs w/ Verizon, only a small number of models. I am more versed with AT&T's, which are garbage.
