Great at first, slows after years of ownership
Phone owned for more than a year

The phone overall is very nice. The camera is quick, things move nice and quickly with little lag. Though after owning this phone for over a year, I noticed quite a few issues. I found lots of freezing, restarting, force closing, keyboard failing to type, etc. I don't like the look of the back cover but a phone case easily solves that issue. Overall, this was a great phone to have.

LG G2X T-Mobile
Phone owned for less than a year

Everything about this phone is great other than the battery and camera.
This camera is terrible compared to other high-end smartphones. The battery is terrible when running stock android. If it is used with anything other than android stock it definitely has a longer battery life.

This phone is a beast. Buy it!!
Phone owned for less than 3 months

If you know how to follow basic instructions and root it, this phone is simply unbeatable at current price. Buy it! When you factor in the price, I give it a ten for the value.
I installed CM7, reception is greatly enhanced. Reliable and fast.
