LG - Vu Cell Phone — 

I've had this phone for one year and I honestly can't wait until I get an upgrade.

The QWERTY keyboard is alright for texting (thank God I have small fingers), the Internet is mediocre, and I do enjoy the video camera and mobile email features. 

Other than that, this phone is a total bust and it's all because of the darn touch screen.

When you call any type of support hot-line which has numeric menus, you have to actually unlock your phone to select these menus.  Example:  I don't have a landline and this is my only phone, so if I have to call Discover Card to ask about my statement, I have to put it on speaker since I'm always having to touch the screen.  Although you should never use your cell phone whilst driving, there is absolutly NO SAFE WAY you can use this one without getting into a serious car accident. Never, EVER use this phone while behind the wheel.

Sometimes, the minute I unlock the screen and answer the phone, my cheek will select my voicemail and take me away from the call.  Also, at times when I'm searching AT&T's Media Net for something, the QWERTY keyboard freezes into a garbled mess.

Today this phone started giving me sim-card error messages. When this happens, I have to take out the battery, put it back in, and restart the phone for it to work again.  I highly suggest you change out your sim-card every 6 months or so to prevent this from happening to you.

This phone is fun at first, but leaves much to be desired.  I need a real keyboard for texting and a less sensitive, more accurate touch screen.
