LG - vx5500 Cell Phone Review

The LG VX5500 came with my Verizon Wireless family plan. Under a two-year contract, it was free along with a $100 rebate on the phone. The phone is a flip-top compact style that is about the size of an iPod. Battery life is excellent and can easily last 5 days without a charge. Even then, it only take a couple of hours to completely charge. When I purchased the phone, there were some software issues and it had to be taken to the Verizon store to upgrade to the newest version. Other than that, I have not had any problems. I have good reception and no dead zones as of yet. There are a lot of features like internet, text messaging, etc, but I called Verizon and had them block all those services. This is nice if you have kids and don't want unexpected charges. I had a Motorola Razr phone before this and I found it to be heavy and bulky along with poor battery life. I prefer the LG VX5500 even though it's just an average-looking cell phone.
