A great phone, but not quite perfect

by tcervo , Apr 01 '03
Pros: Small size, many features, airplane mode, calendar
Cons: Slow startup, small screen, no photo capabilities

Size & Weight ( )
Dimensions: 3.54" x 1.81" x 1.06"

Best Sprint PCS 3G Phone There Is!

by Shane_B , Nov 02 '02
Pros: Strong personal information management tools, OpenWave web browser, awesome battery life for color screen.
Cons: Thickness of the phone, lacks speaker phone, No PCS "Vision" capabilities (can't send/receive pictures).
To be honest the LG LX5350 is my second Sprint PCS Vision phone. The first one was the Samsung SPH-N400 phone, which was good, but had enough problems and faults that I exchanged it for the LG LX5350. I'll explain why in the review.

Venture Skin Deep Into the WoW LG 5350 (Sprint PCS LG5350 phone)

by nwo , Mar 18 '03
Pros: small and light weight, battery life. great ringers. External Caller ID/ time display.
Cons: appears fragile (toy like) and incomplete. poor data interaction.
For once sales people now have something to talk about, the new LG phone; but for this one moment just allow me to express my own finding. It’s a great phone but you have to read between the lines. One can not
eat a cake and have it.

First 3rd Generation Sprint Phone was a Great Investment

by dprov35 , May 14 '03
Pros: Lightweight, Bright, Clear Screen and Has an amazing amount of features.
Cons: Earpiece volume not as loud as I like. Some controls not for bigger fingers.
Purchased on Ebay with accesories for $149.99 I researched this phone extensively on this and other websites and it boiled down to being the best value for the money in my opinion. So, I took a chance on it.
Overall I have been very happy with my...

Do not waste your money...

by NetGuy87 , Sep 13 '03
Pros: Color screen, polyphonic ringtones, very portable.
Cons: Heats quickly, low battery, few features, no camera, no speakerphone, NOT A GOOD DEAL
I purchased this product in February of 2003, and i wish i never had. The phone has the "cababilities" that Sprint claims it has, though you might as well spend the money on a more practical item. As a first time color internet phone user, the ...

by cinnamngrl , Apr 11 '04
Pros: Reasonable price, practical features, compact size and external display
Cons: sprint coverage, sprint sms, sprint service, and no camera
I have had this phone for a year now. I bought it without much research, because I lost my previous phone. I have to say that for the price ($150) I would say it has all the features I could want. The color is great. I love being able to go to yahoo and ...

Cooler in Color!

by tgdennis , Mar 18 '03
Pros: Color screen, voice dial, external display
Cons: Capitalizes the first letter of everything and occasionally will not call out.
I bought the LG-5350 in my quest to upgrade to a color phone with web access and acquire a better rate plan. I shopped several models and snagged the LG phone when Sprint ran a $49.99 special in the Atlanta market. I am sure anyone who has shopped...

LG5350 vs. Kyocera 3035

Pros: attractive, well designed, intuitive,
Cons: heats up, less than stellar battery life, breaks up a lot
I have found a lot of weak areas on this phone. That being said however, does not mean that I don't like it. I would not however buy one again.

I will be comparing this phone to a Kyocera 3035. If you are not familiar with the 3000 series...

LG5350 Cellular Phone - Best cell purchase ever!

by dallascorey , Jan 19 '03
Pros: Brilliant technology, beautiful design, & amazing sound & quality.
Cons: Unsure about charges on internet connect & downloads, but that is all Sprint phones.
As with anything good that comes with my life, Sprint's LG5350 did not get into my hands with the greatest of ease. In the end, it was well worth the post-purchase satisfaction & enjoyment that I have received from this particular phone. The technology...

Cons: No speakerphone

by sweetluv10 , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Beautiful color display, many ringtones, very customizable
Cons: Tendency to reboot itself, awkward button locations
When Sprint came out with their new line of color phones, I totally ignored the LG because I was used to the old standard Sanyos and Samsungs. When I got the LG, I was not sorry. The phone has incredible features much more than the other Sprint phones...

No Longer A Phone, But Now A PDA With The Ability To Make Phone Calls

by rmskater , Feb 16 '03
Pros: Good, vibrant, colorful screen. Good options.
Cons: Costs money to download extras. Bad default games.
This phone has a very bright, nice colorful screen. However, the screen's resolution is not as fine as the Samsung Vision models. For example, if you get a picture, you can tell it is a picture, but it also can look like a computer graphic. It looks ...

Cons: Keys can be hard to punch. No "normal" rings.
This is my 3rd Sprint phone in 5 years. I really like it. The small size and light weight are big plusses. Call quality is very good. It is even better for the recipient of the call. I was on the receiving end recently, and couldn't believe how...

This is a great cell phone. I got this phone on sale at a local store, because as soon as I saw the advertisement I was in shock. You can never get a color cell phone with all the features this one has for that price. At first I figured it would be...

Worked great for about 1.5 years
by leahjane10 ,Sep 12 '04
Pros: You can set the buttons to make a sound like water drops - funny!
Cons: Didn't last me two years. Volume and speakers are bad.
I got this phone when color screens were first available, and camera phones weren't around yet, so it was great. After about 1.5 years, though, it started going through batteries really fast. On a full charge, I can now make about two calls before I have to recharge it. It also will start beeping the low battery while I am talking, but when I hang up, it will go back to 2 out of 4 bars. The batteries have been tested, so it's the phone. Some more problems: 1. Love polyphonic rings tones, but many of the ones I have downloaded sound harsh/blaring when turned up....AND the ringer doesn't go very loud. I absolutely HAVE to have the ringer set to something with a high-pitched beginning or I won't hear it. 2. The arrow buttons are difficult to get to - makes playing games nearly impossible. 3. The buttons have to be pressed hard to register. 4. On mine, when I enter someone's name into the address book, the screen gets very light (only when entering into the address book!) and it's hard to read.

Great Feature-Packed Phone
by carasu ,Dec 14 '03
Pros: Small, lots of features, nice screen, external caller ID, reception
Cons: no speaker, nothing else!
I purchased this phone as a replacement for my Samsung A400, which I found clumsy and awkward to operate at times. This phone is small and packed with features....great reception and vision capabilities make it useful and fun. I don't like the idea of spending $5 to download a game from Sprint, but besides that, I really can't find many faults. The caller ID shows through the flip, so you can see who is calling without having to open it.....there is an outside ringer volume/vibration control, which is so much easier than having to go into a menu to adjust as so many Nokias make you do. I would have liked to have a speaker on the phone, but the benefits of this phone far outweigh the cons.....additionally, I find it to be extremely hardy; I have allowed my children to use it while out, and it does not show worse for wear.

Decent Phone - Horrible Durability
by boobee0007 ,Aug 26 '04
Pros: Typical Color phone nothing fancy.
Cons: Durability stinks!, operates hot and does not start quickly.
I had this phone last year and had to replace it twice. The area where the phone flips began to crack and broke causing the phone to be inoperable. This same occurrence happened to both my new phone and my replacement phone.

The phone has decent features, though it lacks the camera abilities of most phones today. The unit does get very hot after prolonged use, so unless you don't talk much you are in for a face burn. Out the box the phone starts up very fast but after a few downloads of goodies you will notice the phone NEVER starts up fast again even if you try deleting stuff. If you are being chased by a killer and need to dial 911 and your phone is off, your best bet is running to a pay phone cause by the time your phone turns completely on you will be mugged/killed.

Great Phone!!
by opinionwomen ,Oct 08 '03
Pros: Perfect screen, great ringers, attractive look, small, easy to use, MANY GREAT AND USEFUL OPTIONS.
Cons: Easy to scratch, no speakerphone volume, SLOW Start-up, battery life a little short.
I love this phone, it works great except for twice it has automatically shut itself off and restarted. It has tons of great features, Huge amount of pros, too many to list; few cons. Little pricey, but all sprint phones are. I highly recommend it to anyone.
