I once bought an LG Viewty
And it made me want to go into a corner for a little cry. I've posted its attributes to another forum in the past and here it is, an updated review of that cocksucking phone:

Some features include:

The keypad locks, even when halfway through a call - piss boilingly infuriating when making phonecalls of a 'press 3 to continue' nature.

The alarm sometimes fails to make a noise, which either means I sleep in, or get up at 2am to check and make sure I have not slept in.

Piss poor battery life with little warning that it is nearly flat - 2 bars and then dead.

When you are making a call and the phone decides to warn you that the battery is failing, it doesn't do this in a subtle way, oh no. Instead you get a ear piercing SKEEP!! SKEEP!! SKEEP!! SKEEP!! in your fucking ear.

I could go on. I will.

Fails to recognise most micro SD cards.

Messages are unable to be stored on an SD card when it recognises one, which means you can only store about 200.

You need a stylus when using the internet on it, as fat chubby fingers don't fucking work.

The stylus does not slip into the phone anywhere, which means you have to have it on your keyring, or up your arse, leaving shitty marks on the screen.

Its fucking slow.

The camera (although good picture quality) is a fucking ball ache to use, especially trying to change options on the screen with your fucking fingers because you have the stylus up your arse.

I think thats it.

I was thinking of buying one of them.
I'm glad I read this.

That's the phone I have at the moment.
I fucking hated it within moments of taking it out of the box.

If you'd have asked me 3 weeks ago,
I'd have said yes.

Now, I'd advise you to steer clear.

Battery life is terrible, even worse the past couple of weeks, as it has a habit of turning itself off when it feels like it.

My screen is all scratched, and the mobile internet won't go on any of the sites i want it to... cant even check Hotmail on it, let alone b3ta!

Still, its better than the last 256 colour Nokia I had though.

Bloody hell
That sounds even worse than the Samsung Tocco that's been merrily pissing me off for the past year or so. Contract's up soon, thank fuck.

Don't get an Ultra either
it's just as bad in the "being feckin' annoying" stakes. Which is a shame, because it's so nearly a good phone.

None of these issues have been addressed. It's shit.

I bought a Nokia 3310 from ebay yesterday.

I have one
I like it, wouldn't be without it and am saving up for the newer SMART model that has a better camera.

Everyone has their own tastes in gadgets, who would that thought it?

ONLY 200 messages?
My phone stores TWENTY, maximum.

Mind you, I did select it by going into the shop and asking for the cheapest phone they sold, so I guess I can't really complain.
