My LG Glimmer :(

Posted by ™E

Here's my major gripe about the LG UX830 aka the LG Glimmer.

1) Using the touchscreen while receiving a txt message. The phone will lag and it will open the message no matter what I'm doing.

2) Most of the time when I plug the phone into charge it thinks I've plugged in a computer and changes my wallpaper to default.

3) It says it can hold 400 messages in the inbox when you look at system memory stats but when I get about 200 in there it is generally 100% full and I'm forced to delete/clear.

4) I cannot lock text messages to save in my inbox. Picture and video messages I can but not text messages. I cal also lock sent messages for some odd reason.

5) Picture browsing is slow and laggy.

6) If I have a picture set to a contact on the phone and I hit their speed dial number, it will automatically call that person without me having to hit more than the number. This sucks because I rarely call people.

7) It's a pain in my ass to type numbers while in T9 Word entry mode as you have to switch the phone to 123 input instead and then back to T9.

8) The MicroSD memory card is in a hugely inconvenient spot. Having to remove the battery cover to get to.

9) No separate speaker for the ringer instead it rings through the earpiece thus bringing a lower call/voice quality.

10) I'm going to use #10 to re-iterate how bad the text messaging is on this phone. With the touchscreen and no arrowpad, it's hard to go back and insert characters into already typed text.

There's some more and when I've got time I may come back and update this post. As for now, I'm off shopping for a BlackBerry Storm :)
