What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
I have had my LG Oprimus S for about ten months now. It seemed like a great deal, because I got it free with a new Sprint account. Had I known then what I know now, I would have shelled out some dough for a bigger, faster phone.
The screen size isnt so bad. The first major problem is the touch calibration. When the phone is tilted sideways, the calibration still reads as if the phone were upright. This causes a LOT of misspelled texts. Recalibration does not help.
The second, and much bigger issue, is the speed of the phone itself. In the first month, I noticed that it took time to load the photo gallery---sometimes upwards of a full minute, even with just a handful of photos taken. By a handful, I mean six or seven. I figured i could live with it, since it didnt happen all the time. Since then, the OS has updated twice. Each time, the look of the interface has changed, and the phone has slowed down almost beyond usability. Even when the signal is allegedly 3G, dialing and connecting a call sometimes takes forty-five seconds or more. Lets hope you dont have an emergency! The gallery sometimes doesnt even load, and it only reads text input at about three letters per second. Any faster, and there are holes in the words because youve typed too fast. Apps that worked fine before now force close repeatedly, and recieving calls while surfing the web crash the phone about one in three times.
The last, and biggest issue with the speed lag is surfing the web. Even in an area with a clear, good signal, the phone can't keep up with touch commands. Touching a screen might result in the page zooming out, and scrolling doesn't register about half the time, and when it does it is choppy. Holding the screen to control the scrolling results in non-rrsponsiveness, again about half the time.
My tax refund is almost in. Im getting and HTC evo 4g, and I suggest you do the same.

I got this phone for free with a new two-year contract. At first I was incredibly pleased with it. The phone was fast, worked great, did everything I could ever need it for. Then at about the 3 month mark, the Camera on the phone just went out. I called Sprint Tech Support, took it into a shop, and scoured online forums to try and find a fix for it. In my searches I learned that this is a common problem with the LG Optimus, and they normally just send you a refurbished phone. After about six months, my phone would not receive text messages or phone calls from certain numbers. I would get phone calls from friends asking why I'm ignoring them, when I had actually never received their messages. The battery lasts 12 hours MAX, so I am charging my phone sometimes twice in a 24 hour period. Overall, the phone worked great for the first 3 months. After that, it's crap. I would go with an HTV Evo or something a little more new instead of this phone.

I have had an LG Optimus S for just under a year now, from Sprint. Do you enjoy a phone that randomly shuts itself off? Do you enjoy a phone that has trouble reading your SD card and acts like there isn't one in there? Do you enjoy having to take your phone in to be manually reset (or looking up how to do it yourself) because a software issue is causing it to hang? How about having to take the battery OUT and put it back in just to get it to turn on?
NOW, my phone won't turn on at all. Again.
Seriously? Run FAR away from this phone.

I had the Samsung Exclaim before this, so I was ready for and upgrade. When i got this phone, it was when Androids were popular, but most of the phones upward $200, so Sprint and LG decided that they wanted everyone to get hooked on Android, and the only way to do that was, to make affordable ($50) and eventually free one. Now before you go on reading this, if you do today, Amazon is offering every non-iPhone smartphone for free. If it is past then, ignore what I just said. What I am going to do for this phone is give you the pros and cons, which, the cons outweigh. But there are some good pros, and if this is your first Android, it might be just okay.
Pros: Free- (That one is the second best pro) Android- What I love about Android is that all the Android phones have the same OS (operating system.) No matter what phone you have, you can still play Angry Birds on it. What the differences are is with the better and pricier phones, it is faster, better camera, etc. Unlimited Data- This is a Sprint only pro, but it is the best pro that you can find.
Cons: Bad camera No front facing camera Slow Bad Memory Crashes Bad battery life
So, as you can see, if you don't do much with your phone, no camera, not a lot of apps, this could be the phone for you. If your everyone else though, this is probally not right for you.

I really, REALLY wish I had taken note of the internal memory on this phone, because if I had, I would never have bought it. It's a shame that the internal memory is so small (512 MB) because I love the phone itself (SD capable up to 8GB). It's a perfect size for me and is fully functional. I have had very little problems with it (none that can't be fixed by turning if off and back on) and it has done me well.
However, 512 MB is WAY too small for a phone these days! *Especially* with the amount of apps that won't let you run off the SD card. It's not like I got this phone three years ago and it's outdated or anything - it has only been about 6 months and it's still on the market. If you don't plan on using many apps and don't care about the minimal internal memory, then this may be a great and cheap solution for you...but had I known then what I know now, I would have forked out the extra dough to get a phone with a high internal memory capacity.
That is seriously the only issue that I have with it. If they would allow the capacity to upgrade the internal memory, I would hands down give this a 5-star review and hang on to this phone for quite a bit longer... but as is, I can't give any higher than a 3 and am currently counting down the time until I am eligible for an upgrade.
