I think I might possibly kill my phone.<br><br>I have the LG VX5500. And. It SUCKS. Big time. Its a good phone for messaging and everything, but if you talk on it, it gets heated up to the point where it burns your face. I've had to replace it 3 times. First time it was just acting weird. Second time, it kept freezing up, third time, it switched itself to hands-free, and refused to come out. And it was 3 days out of warranty, so they made us pay 50 dollars for a FREE PHONE.<br>Thats right. Now, it's a FREE phone. One of my adult friends has it, and she's had to replace it twice. For the same reasons. And the battery life isn't worth anything.<br><br>Now, it froze up so I had to take the battery out. And the little thing that holds the battery cover on, its a little hole with a ledge, it broke off -_- Battery cover is still on, but I'm about to kill this phone. And I can't upgrade until August. Dammit.

  • Some of Verizon's phones are really bad problem wise.<br><br>I had a friend with a Chocolate she had to replace EIGHT TIMES.<br><br>I have to replace my enV2 four times, and I've already replaced my Alias 2. My current alias is malfunctioning, the keys stick and several buttons have randomly broken. <br><br>I'm sorry to hear it heats up like that, mine only does that wit charging. All of your problems sound completely aggravaing! I swear all the phones hese days ar jsut made to break so you have to buy a new one. I miss my first phone which I dropped about a thousand times to no ill effect, and lasted two full years before having any problems. Darn fancy phones! *shakes fist*<br><br>I'm so sorry you have to wait! Good luck riding it out!

    <br><br>My mom actually has had no issues with her phone. Maybe it's because I'm a heavy texter and it's on 24/7 because I don't like turning it off o.o

  • Do the reviews look good? I've never preferred a touch screen phone, but they do look pretty cool!

    <br><br>Yeah. I don't know, though. Go onto Verizon's website and look up 'EnV touch'

  • probably 50% of people I know have a chocolate 3, it's a really good phone. I like it a lot. No problems so far, and only one person I know was having problems. He just had to replace the battery, it wasn't the phone, and he got it under warrenty if I remember right. I know a lot of people with the chocolate touch as well and they're very nice if you like touch screen :]

  • LG phones usually have shorter lives.. They kinda pop them out like bunnies.. Lol.<br><br>That's why I have a Samsung.. I think Samsung is like a god of strength or something somewhere lol<br><br>My friend had an LG Rumor (Sprint) and went through seven in a year because it would just break.<br>My mom had an LG Voyager and it's speaker and vibrate quit working after a week..<br>My other friend had an LG EnV 2 and it doesn't vibrate and half the buttons don't work and it has never been dropped even..<br><br>I've only had Samsung phones.. I have an Alias2 currently and I've thrown it and it's fine lol. I used to have an SCH-A950 which was okay and never broke but I don't like texting with word lol<br><br>I think it's LG overall.. They want money, money, and more money lol in my opinion.

  • I hate LG XD<br>I might be getting either the EnV Touch (even though the majority of the reviews say it's horrid. ;-;)<br>Or I might get the Samsung Rogue..<br>Only got 10 days until I can order it, so gotta decide by then. XD I need to get ride of this horrid EnV rofl<br>From the reviews, these phones look good:<br>Samsung Rogue<br>Chocolate Touch<br>Samsung Convoy<br>Motorola Droid (too expensive for me D: but I do want it.. XD)<br>I doubt I'll get the EnV Touch though...they say the battery life is horrid, and if the screen were to stop working and broke...I don't think that I could go a week or so without texting people. XD I'm horrid with needing to text lmao

    <br><br>My mom and sister have it and it's a decent phone.. The touch screen kind of takes forever to get used to and sucks a little lol.. But it's okay. I heard they were going to make the iPhone 4G for Verizon.. Hopefully<br><br>If I were you I'd get a Samsung lol =]

    <br><br>Verizon probably won't be getting the iPhone, they refuse to pay Apple the price of it. <br><br>I don't really use touch screen phones. I've got big fingers and zero nails. Thats why I chose the enV touch, it's got widely spaced keys ;D<br><br>I just think that the majority of the people who use it are teenagers, and we text. A -lot-. And it'll kill the phone life. My friend Kara has it, and she loves it. Hasn't had an issue with it. I guess it just depends on the phone.

  • My phone sucked. Battery lasted like 3 hours, turned off at least once every five minutes, became overheated when you talked and burned you, a lot like your phone. Had it replaced, and that one broke too. I just went back to using my first phone I ever got xD Thank goodness my contracts up in June or July. Im getting the Samsung Mythic :3

  • NOW IT WONT EVEN CHARGE DAMMIT! -headslams-<br><br>And its warranty ran out in Feb. And I got it December 23 '09. So I've had it all of four months. I'm about to call Verizon and raise hell. Maybe they'll give my mom and I free upgrades. I mean, half the country pays them $100 a month in phone bills. I think they can afford it.
