My gf bought the NEC one when i told her to get the LG one.

month later the phone starts to fuck up, she dont get all of my txt's, when she is on the phone it cuts out.
Hanset has a quick link button to view txt's push it and it says not enough memory when there is shit loads of it.

Now the bitch is moaing and wants a new one

Had a 3g phone. sold it after 3 weeks. Absolute shite.

Couldnt send MMS messages to other mobiles (only started being able to in june)
There is 3 types of network on the 3g setup.
3g-means u can get live video calls
2.5g-mean u can get video message
2g-means u can get the same as all the other networks. (oh, and this is the o2 network)

When ur out of 3g range and on a call the call gets dropped while u log off 1 network and onto another.

Customer services must have it in their contract
a) not to understand you
b)mispronounce your name
c)try their hardest to confuse/annoy you (which they r good at)

Doing anything cool on the network costs u between 50p and Ł5. Gettin a couple of ringtones etc can end up gettin quite expensive.
Games-2.50
music vids-between Ł3 and Ł5
Footy d.loads (and they only do premiership) 50p a goal basically. (about 10secs of vid)

Cut me losses and got rid of the fone after the 3 weeks and got a nokia on o2.

On the upside, maybe it has improved and the LG phone is the best of the lot

good luck
