Data transfer indeed but wish for phone settings control too.

This product does what its name implies - and that's just about it.  Full access to settings on the phone (as can be controlled using the phone) is what I would prefer. It is certainly easier to use a computer to control such a device rather than the limited keys of the cell phone.  Sidebar: 9 months after purchasing this software here it said my subscription had expired and could not get updates or use the data transfer features. A call to LG deferred me to the folks that actually make the software (which is NOT LG). Eventually, the software kicked on again without my action. My presumption is, (quoting the LG rep) that "many complaints of this problem" inspired LG or its "partner" to fix the matter.

This is a very nice phone indeed.  It looks and acts like my friends contemporary Samsung smart phone - and he loves his.
One hang-up is the three hours I spent transporting my old Tracfone number and minutes to the new phone.  Three hours with Tracfone customer service!  But we succeeded, and it's working like a champ.

Interestingly, this phone is not currently on Tracfones list of phones that work in my area (92119).  It was listed several days ago, then taken-off their compatibility web site.  Not sure why.  "They work in mysterious ways !"

On edit:  Had to go through the activation process twice now.  Seems like the interface between Tracfone and Verizon is flawed, with Verizon dropping the activation repeatedly.  Not sure why- maybe poor signal. Will be sending the phone back for refund.  Apparently not ready for prime time yet....

Finally got the activation to stick.  Liked the phone so much that we bought a second one.  Interestingly, it was much easier to activate.

Phone works fine but wasn't completely wiped from first user. We had to go through and erase a lot of stuff before we could put our things on it.

This is a perfect accessory for transferring and receiving data using my HTC Phone.

while this cable works just fine for charging, i am unable to transfer data to my computer from my phone with it, which was the intent with purchasing this cable in the first place. disappointing. again, as a charger, it works well enough, but i cannot use it for my intended purpose.

Unable to transfer old phone number and minutes. According to Tracphone, it has to be done before the phone is activated or it can't be done. This one is a paperweight and headed for the trashcan.

Like it, does what I want though doesn't always give the fastest or best routes..even after resetting to default settings.

The default internet subscription to this smartphone uses cingular "MediaNET" as a proxy to the internet.  It did not work at first and I had a nice girl in the chat room at the cingular website guide me through verification of the internet and proxy settings on my phone.  When this didn't work, I was told this was a bad SIM card and to go get one from a local cingular store.  I did this, and everything worked just FINE afterwards.  From what I understand this is a common problem with the phone from here.  So if the medianet connection does not work, going to a cingular store to grab a new simcard (or using your old one) will probably fix it.

Moving on..

The Sync program that is included on the CD seems to have a slightly stumbling installation process.  But once I got through it, the synchronization with outlook worked flawlessly.  I was able to move MP3s, pictures, pdf's, etc. to my phone and back with no trouble.

The CD also comes with MS outlook for your computer, and ClearVue software for your phone which installs a series of different viewers (no editing capability) for MS office and Adobe Acrobat documents.

I was happy that I was also able to browse to Google's website and download the "google maps mobile" website and download the online java mapping program for phones (map directions in your car!)  You can also go to Google's search engine and can check your Gmail online.  (the phone also comes with a cingular Xpress email program which i haven't installed yet, i usually use Gmail) there are many other sites out there that you can purchase or download programs from too.

I used the camera and movie recording function a little and it seems satisfactory, a little dark.

Call quality is decent, the speaker is a little weak compared to my old V551. There IS speakerphone through the same speaker, but I found myself listening to this almost up to my ear yesterday.  It would be beetter if the volume scale simply let you adjust between the normal MAX volume, and the speakerphone level volume.  that way you could more easily pick the volume level that suits your ear and the surroundings.

The display is BEAUTIFUL, and bright.

Cons:

I was disappointed that the phone did not come with the mobile version of AOL instant messenger, but it is available for a price.

I know it isn't a big deal but i was also disappointed that the phone only had 2 color schemes (red and blue) and didn't include the "green" that is shown in Windows mobile example pictures on microsoft's website.

Can not generally close programs from INSIDE the programs.  You must access the "task manager" and close programs from there (generally after you have opened ~5 programs :p)

---------------

to summarize:

I did have some troubles getting started with this phone.  But it is a beautiful little machine and I love it so far.

Clear calls, more options than last phone. One item dreadfully needed is a volume selector that can be adjusted, some people do talk too loud!

The phone is fine but the menu system and operational controls leave something to be desired.  If you are not tech savvy, the menu system can be a problem.

For reasons unknown to me the phone will not save any manually entered APN settings. Attempting to edit the APN that is there already causes it disappear when 'saving' it. Cellular data doesn't work for me as result of these issues and the phone is being sent back. Pity, because the phone seemed nice and certainly large for the price.

Great looks, hopefully it will work as expected. It has taken me more than two weeks to transfer a 1.7GB of info to the new unit. It is very strange: my old HDD which is USB2 is connected to the WD MyCloud through the provided USB port (it has one SS for "expansion") so the data should flight from one disk to another, yet, the system is configured so the main My Cloud disk is connected to my internet modem, then the info goes to my pc through wifi, and despite being both disks connected together, the data transfer is commanded by the limitations of my wifi. It is rather frustrating. SO if you don't have a Gigabit network don't expect the unit to be swift.

Good to have one. Control through a smartphone is little difficult.  Sometimes it's not responding properly. Expect more maturity from this in the near future.

It's been working flawlessly before and after the phone number port. Unfortunately, they don't let you keep the phone number they give you before the port, can only choose your old number or new one, not both.
Fortunately, that's not really an issue and to be expected, though some VoIP services do allow this, we don't really need or care for it past the novelty of just having it.

Sorry about my bad English, im from Europe...

I wanted to save the pics to a LAN-Share (Windows) when being at home. I didn't find out a way to use the card like this.
But the card works as described! I just didn't look careful enough.
Connecting to the mobile Phone is nice, but i don't really need this feature

It's very good. One thing I'd change is the process of retrieving our stored phone numbers so that I can call them more quickly. It isn't as quick as it could be.
