LG - VX5300 Cell Phone — 

I have had the Lg VX5300 cell phone for about a year now. I bought it when we were sort of kicked out of cingular and went to Verizon. At the time it was the free phone so I was not expecting anything special, but it was perfect for me.

It seems indestructable. Granted I wouldn't recommend testing it especially in water but I drop my phone constantly and I don't have insurance and my phone has never broke. I've accidently thrown it ahead of me on the ground and the worst that has ever happened is the back popped off and the battery fell out.

The phone with the verizon plan rarely doesn't have a signal. I've only had any issues in a basically cement room (certain houses (most are fine) basements and tunnels.)

The camera is fine for what I need. I have never tried to get these pictures off but they have enough pixel memory to make a nice cell phone wall paper background which I constantly change. Lighting is once and a while an issue but it does have a flash option.

The battery is amazing! I have had it for a year and it still lasts a little less than a week I would say 5 days to be safe. I am 20 I call and text regularly but not consistently. So if you are on the phone all day you'll have to charge it more often.

In terms of texting it does not have a key pad set up for the whole alphabet like some do but it does have the word option which guesses the letter combination you are searching for.

The phone is basic but perfect for me. It can fit in your pocket or purse but is not razor thin. It gets good reception and the battery has never failed me. For all of those of you that have spent a couple hundred dollars on a phone . . . why did you spend that much if the newer ones have a higher risk of letting you down?
