LG GW520 Review

[redcj1998]

i have this phone

no i dont recommend it exept for the the keypad, which is pretty good. touch screen is rubbish, rubbish video camera quality and is a phone with no sense of humor!!!! If you just want a phone to play music,call,text then i suggest my old phone. The Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman. it does all of the above. Never had a single faut. no bad points. Ignore anybody who days other wise.

[LivingRocketFish]

I have this phone, and for some reason whenever i recieve a text it says i got it one hour before i actually did. I have tried adjusting my date/time settings, but nothing seems to work. Can anybody help?

[footballmanager221]

Does this have text message password protect?

[nolosk8s]

any wifi?



[MattApril]

@nolosk8s no wifi sadly :(

[iamkatification]

@MissAnneHere is it true the phone can only hold three voicemail messages at a time?

that might almost be a deal breaker for me.

[kurth3117]

i have this phone, its pretty good but it has its glitches at times

[LuCIeeBeAAr]

i really want this phone is it worth the money ?



[MsNins]

@LuCIeeBeAAr i bought mine today for $79.. its okay soo far.. not my type of fone but yea its pretty good

[ShemarPwns18]

This is one of my dream phones! I want it so bad, my intensity is good but its time for change

[MASKEDCITYKING]

yeah, is this a good phone? im really needing help choosing one from koodo

[xoxoxCherylxoxox]

@MASKEDCITYKING it's ok. Nothing special.The keyboard is fun though x

[hellomotto1123]

can you record sounds and set them as your ringtone

[SLIMSHADY1357]

@hellomotto1123 yup

[megalegokid90]

No, in fact, it's the worst phone ever

[tomtomthepieguy]

is this a smartphone?

[tipoomaster]

Other than the keyboard whats different between this and the Cookie Plus? Which should I get?

[teelay]

@tipoomaster I would like to know if I should get the cookie plus or the breeze?

[SLIMSHADY1357]

@teelay breeze there the exact same except this one has a querty

[earn223]

Is this phone wifi?

[JohnnyStar246]

@earn223 naw

[zacpower630]

could u plss make a review about the lg gw525, cause im thinkin of buyin it

[zacpower630]

excuse me but could u make a review about the lg gw525 plsssss i know the phones a bit old but i'm thinkin of buyin it

[CJShameless]

The vid says texting takes a while.....did anyone else find this with the Breeze?

[gilberly30]

does it have dual keypad? i mean.. if u could type letters on screen and on the actual keypad? :D

[KiDuTzALOL]

lol there are so much colors of this phone and really blue is the most popular

[PRIMELIFELIVE]

LOL wingman.

[mstuie]

I don't like it very much I mean I press somthing on it and it takes 5 years to load

[a7nwee]

and also to add in the camera for pictures is pretty bad, don't expect much unless you are in very good lighting conditions and taking a motionless picture

video camera is decent, very low resolution however.

[a7nwee]

Phone is pretty good for the price you pay. No major problems with it. PROS: -touch screen + qwerty keyboard -music and gallery (decent resolution) -apps like twiiter and fb as widgets CONS: -touch screen isn't sensitive enough, you have to press down hard sometimes even if you set the sensitivity to max -touch screen gets scratched easily by nails -processor is a little slow, trying to read text messages and skip back and forth between takes some time (get a loading screen) Overall, 7.5/10

[DanielSykesMasakre]

Who knows how to install the facebook app to this phone???????.... cause mine didn´t have it when i bought it... ¬¬

And i bought this freaking phone just because of that app...

[MrWWEDivaFan3]

The LG Breeze is awesome!

I haven't have any problems with it..

And mines from Koodo.. but yeah, my favorite part of this one is the internet, like the facebook app! :)

[HHHfan111]

@MrWWEDivaFan3 is the internet free?

[MrWWEDivaFan3]

@HHHfan111 Only if you get a plan.

It doesn't have WIFI..

[ratata8cheese]

@MrWWEDivaFan3 im with koodo too, and would you say the breeze or cookie is better?and how much is the plan with fb?

[MrWWEDivaFan3]

@ratata8cheese I'm not really sure because the breeze is my first phone from there. And, the fb app is with the internet plan. so it's around $40 a mouth if you get texting and calling.

[oftendespised]

Great phone!i have had it for 3 months now. working perfectly and still sturdy. im never going back to a phone without a full slide out qwerty keyboard:)

[chaoticNATURED]

piece a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hate this phone jus got it and im havin all the same probs as the majority of owners

ref from online forums..

even though i got given this brand new its still shyte oh and btw now its vibratin uncontrolably for no reason...

[astonvillafuckblues]

@chaoticNATURED well your doing something wrong dumbass

[blazewave222]

at 0:41 did he say Hell Bottle? XD

[CrazyShortsCrew]

@blazewave222 Uphill battle.

[pownage25]

Can anyone tell me the average battery life of this phone? it would be appreciated. and if anyone knows if you can make your own ring tones instead of buying them that would be nice too.

[doc0garcia]

@pownage25 Up to 4.5 hours talktime and 22 days standby

With included lithium-ion battery.

[mrjoko34]

does it have wi fi?



[kflaze]

i wanted the lg ally but its 2 exspensive for me and this was as good as could get

[mathspeedy]

@scorpio88 I have this phone and there's threaded messages :)

[Blazer278]

[theLearner]

This color is way hotter than the blue one.

Damn it

[firelord9000]

cookie plus or breeze? ???

[jennst0]

E.T GO HOME!

[AiguilleVoodoo]

I can't plug my regular headphones in this, right? Does koodo offer a phone in which I could?

[Orlynowaizz]

Okay, should I get this phone?

Opinions? :)

[RonchyKid199]

@Orlynowaizz YES

[SkywalkerXZX]

wifi?

[Artanalbo]

wow all u idiots cpmlain way tomuch its a phone its not gonna be a fukin rocket ship

[Aerosmithfan507]

Which one is better: This one or the LG xenon? I know that their both very simular-even in price, i just want to make sure i get the better one

[Aerosmithfan507]

@TheIBC13 no

[thecrazygulp1010]

what is the dif betwen breeze and cookie plus?

[Aerosmithfan507]

@thecrazygulp1010 cookie plus doesnt have a qwerty keyboard

[scorpio88]

What's the inbox limit, and can you have threaded messages (where you view your entire convo with someone) on texts?

[FrukSkoFcsae]

I don't give a F%#$ about ANYTHING but these: minutes, maybe some texting, and good reception. Screw everything else, why spend so much on smartphone. just get cheap ones like this without contract.

[pogogal17]

@FrukSkoFcsae ya sooner than you think laptops are gonna so out of fashion coz everything will be done on these smart phones

[HaboVideos]

fucking gayest phone ever, dont buy it ;s

[ONImuzik]

Is this preferred over the LG Cookie Plus?

[x3Mysteriiousx3]

Can you make a password on messages on LG GW520?

[xXxdarkxdeathxXx]

I hate this phone so much! im using it temporary and when i charge my pantech impact im soo smashing this phone!

[ervis555]

[KasparHarvey]

[InkerStar]

Can someone tell me the different between the Lg gw520 ad the lg gw525?

[MrAdpa22]

@InkerStar the only difference is lg gw525 has 3 megapixel camera, and gw520 has 2 megapixle camera. that is all ( not really briging it down :)

[TheLovelyxox]

is is easy to type with the keyboard?

[SchooIHater]

whats better ... this or the xenon ? :)

[MrTiggerz99]

@SchooIHater this is better for sure

[giddig]

Got this a while ago and HATE it. Should have got a Blackberry.

[4556780]

why can i only video something for only like ten seconds?

[TheC33C33]

@4556780

ur on MMS video mode, change it at your camera menu:)

[cellphonefreak18]

in canada the lg breeze is blue :D

[Aerosmithfan507]

@cellphonefreak18 it looks like this on koodo

[DawnAndriod]

@cellphonefreak18 now there is a grey one alswell! ^^

[RatedXpk3rz]

@DawnAndriod I bought it today

[toad773]

@cellphonefreak18 It also comes in grey in canada.

[ThomasXp]

@cellphonefreak18 theres an orange one 2 

[chineseboy95]

@cellphonefreak18 is blue the only colour, or can you get others too? becuz i looked online and there was a picture of a black and grey one so im just wonderin. thnx

[standerd101]

@chineseboy95 There are lots of colors but it depends where you get ur Lg breeze. At telus we only have blue. But with other mobile carriers there are probably different ones

[chineseboy95]

@standerd101 are you sure? because im checking on telus.com and when i check out with the phone in my cart, it says it will be in grey

[wickhamtv1]

I've put the star raiting for the phone because it was a load of crap and a waist of money DO NOT GET!!!!!

[hhhh404]

i might buy but i am not sure if is that gd

[xcoolxsmithx]

which phone is better LG GW520 or LG POP??????

[Vindicator09]

I've noticed that people who say that this phone is terrible have providers such as Orange, T-mobile ect. However i asked someone how it was on O2 and they said it was perfectly fine. This is making it a harder decision for whether i should get the phone :S

[splaterwizz]

looks ok i want it

[redfootman1]

god this guy is so negitive he said like nothing good about this phone. is it really this bad cause im getting one on saturday?

[Salkyne]

I have 2 questions about this phone.

1. Can you change the wallpapers on the phone?

2. Isn't there a front camera on this phone? I was looking at one of these in the store and I could've sworn there was...

Thanks for answering these questions!

[sperooo]

[guyanalovee1]

[AshanRandyYoshi55555]

[per5on1]

[GClover02]

[rebeccaw139]

@Sickress

[Vindicator09]

[FOBloveaddict14]

[TheLarlas]

@MikelSeo I'm sure you can find one, google Get2Jar, there should be a website called Get2Jar.com or something like that, search "Msn, Windows Live Messenger or Ebuddy, download and add to youre phone in the SVG Contents folder or somewhere else, I do this on an LG KT520

[VanillaTwilight07]

on a scale of 1-10 how good is this phone for a teenager who would like to text alot but will call also. I also want a good quality phone that wont break the first time I drop it.

[caminoke]

[EmmaasAccount]

Good phone but touchscreen can be unresponsive. Apps on front are so slow compared to internet connection. But keyboard is GREAT! Love the keyboard :)
