I got my LG Vu about 6 months ago.  While I do like a lot of the features on it, in order to use the TV feature, you have to sign up for the $15.00 a month internet/data plan AND the $15.00 a month TV service.  So, I never use the TV function.  All the applications are pay applications, so I also do not use any of those.  The screen sensitivity is pretty good and can be adjusted.  I like that when texting, they give you the option of the standard texting or the keyboard.  It is not at all hard to use.  The camera has no zoom function, so that part isn't great.  Also, the focus on the camera is really hard to operate.  I often have to take a picture several times in order for it to come out clearly.

The internet function is not great, either.  My husband has an iPhone and the internet on that is much better.  The monthly internet charge is the same for his phone and mine.  I don't even use my internet anymore because it is difficult to navigate.  The other issue with this phone is the constant dropped calls.  I don't know if that is the AT&T network or the phone, though.  I drop at least 2 to 3 calls a day.  My phone, like I said, is about 6 months old and already it has some issues that have developed.  One of these is that I will have an incoming call and answer it, and I have about one second and my phone will automatically dial my voice mail.  I then have to hope the person on the other line doesn't hang up while I scramble to disconnect from the voice mail.  I do like some of the features, like accessing the address book is really easy, sending texts is easy, and the games with the touch screen are fun.  The calculator is probably my favorite function as it feels the most like a regular calculator and is super easy to use compared to other phones I have had (I use this feature pretty regularly).
