LG GT505 User Reviews

I'm an owner of this phone for about a year and I have to say that I'm very disappointed..Sometimes it's getting too slow..!! especially when I text or listen to music..
before this i had the LG Viewty and it had a very good camera..something that the GT505 hasn't ..oh!!..and the GPS is not working at all..
But the truth is that LG GT505 is a great phone for its price..!! :D:D
oh and by the way..if anyone else has the same problem with the sms lag..please tell me..
I'm trying to find a solution ....:(:(

(P.S. I'm sorry LG but I'm not going to buy a cellphone from you again :/ :/....)

This hasgot to be without a doubt the worst phone i have ever owned. The signal is at best terrible everywhere. It frequently drops internet connection and phone calls. Will show full signal whilst refusing to connect a call due to lack of reception. Drops call's with no warning even when at apparent full signal. Can't be locked properly if it's in your pocket. Is slow to access any applications.Do not touch with a barge pole!! After 6 months of fighting with the thing mines just hit the wall and it's probably the best place for it. Wouldn't even be recommended to my Worst enemy!! - LG you screwed up big time on this one!!!

I bought the LG GT505 4 months ago and I'm very satisfied with it. LG has done a very good job making a budget phone that has it all! If you want a nice touch screen phone but don't wanna waste alot of money, then I suggest this phone! The build quality is very good, after a few falls and bangs, it hasn't got a scratch! The user interface is quite nice and easy.
I wish it had a better speaker for music and better earphones-handsfree. The GPS doesn't work very well, if you use A-GPS you get charged. I installed WeTravel and worked but it took a while to lock on to a satellite.

To sum it all up, this is a great budget phone. It does everything nicely and I'm very happy with it. Don't buy if you want a GPS phone.

I bought LG GT505 based on the 0.56 SAR value given by phonearena. Later I discovered that, according to the technical specifications of the phone (in the box), the real SAR was 0.94 (or even 1.17 if worn on the body). This raises a BIG question mark on the honesty of PHONEARENA. Also, I would very seriously question the total absence of SAR information on the LG site. Beware of "gray" producers and "gray" sites. I do regret my old Nokia and SE. 

mum bought the phone yesterday..i recommended her this phone..good value for money..
so, i've tried it..and i still stand to my point..
for the price, it offers a great spec list..
the WiFi thought aint that good..laggy sometimes..but u cant expect a cheap phone to have a good WiFi right..and the landscape qwerty is kidda small..but lucky there is a stylus attached to the handset..other than that, it works great..

overall, i would give this phone a rating of 8/10 :)

Just buy one last day, from TMN operator in Portugal, 8 Gb micro SDcard class 4, so far so good, despite a wi-fi connection problem at home, had to configure my wireless router, to operate in channel 1, tried other channels but the phone  wouldn't work properly, On phone  is SSID, Type of security, Security key, and Dynamic IP/DNS.GPS WisePilot works good, but still only tried it for 20 km's in car. Very nice and intuitive touch screen, for a beginner like me in touch phones. Sorry for my poor english. 

high technology in a very attractive price!size and dimensions are perfect,the connections and the gps receiver works great,easy connection with pc (windows xp sp3),the two cameras (photo and 3g) are usefull and with good resolution(5mp with digital zoom).the duration of the battery is a matter under investigation but the rule is the more you use it the less you have it for every phone almost...soooo my opinion is that the mobile is great and it has its own character and style to become a referance point in the category of low price complicated mobiles!

The author of the review before is clearly in need of help. There is in fact a lock button. it plays 3gp which is a known format. Bought this the other day and its a great all rounder which has on par qualities with the iPhone. The wifi is great. Web browsing is made a breeze. The speed of the 3G/EDGE is immence and believe me. You will  love it.

I had this phone and was quite impressed but sent it back in the end.
