The LG VX-5500 is a capable phone with loonngg battery life.
The LG VX-5500 is a compact flip phone with an insanely long battery life. The phone seemingly goes for years without needing a charge - really it's about 7-10 days depending on talk time. The phone itself has all of the basic features that you might want in a minimalist cell phone: Bluetooth, low-res camera, and the ability to make and receive calls and texts. It doesn't have any of the latest and greatest features like internet connectivity, a QWERTY keyboard or anything else that goes beyond the basic. The type of cell phone user who will like this phone the best is the one who thinks fewer features is a plus. If you want a basic phone, this is your winner. If you're looking for something more you should look elsewhere. Within the category of basic, feature phones the VX-5500 is far better than average. My main complaint is with the lack of simple ringtones - a lot of songs and other sounds that aren't ringing and the placement of the clear button. Otherwise, the phone is great. Buy this if you want a no-nonsense, straightforward phone to make phone calls
