Good answer there, Po!!
I've not had any bad reports about sound quality, from my friends and family!
Agreed that LG should make the manual available to download, for anyone!

What is it you need to know about calling?
... more@Mango
Well, the manual can tell me how to make calls; how to access last in/outbound/missed calls. How to activate the loudspeaker during calls (question: how is the sound when in loudspeaker mode? How is the sound on the receiver end? any echo?); how to use call waiting and something else I might me forgetting, but which should be there.
Also, how does are SMSs handled? How to delete one?
Basic stuff, right? But I like to know how things work before using them and doing something I shouldn't.

The calls come through crystal-clear. The sound is great, going both ways, and you can do everything you'd want to! What could the manual possibly tell you?

Hi, my old SE w200 is showing some signs of its age and leading me to buy a new phone. So I looked at cheap phones, but with a lot of features. This one came on top, but it IS an LG phone, so I thought it wouldn't be much good...
However, after reading all the comments here (with special attention for the ones by RottenFoxBreath, thanks!) I've come to be convinced that this is, in fact a good choice. :)
But there are some pieces of information still missing for me to make a properly informed purchase. And most of them are related to the actual calling (you know, the main reason to call this device a "phone"?).
I'm sure that all my doubts are answered in the owner's manual, so I went to LG's site to download it, but, to my surprise, I am required to install some LG app, associate with the phone and then download the manual. Since I haven't purchased it, I can't downlaod the manual! Amazingly stupid of LG, but ok...
So here I am, asking someone who already owns this LG phone to upload (to rapidshare or some site like that) the PDF file of the complete owner's manual, in english, please. And then post here a link so I can download it.
Thank you!

I bought this phone here in India about 2 weeks ago and I have to say that this phone looks like a useless dud. The reasons are
1. I was using a blackberry before and push mail (yahoo mail) worked fine in it. I am not able to get yahoo mail as push mail in this phone.
2. This phone comes with a touch pencil but LG does not supply a cover for this phone. So, I have nowhere to keep the pencil.Every where that I have enquired in the market here in Chennai, they say that they do not have a cover that can accomodate the pencil. This is a big goof up on LG's part. Probably LG expects its customers to carry the pencil above their ears !
3. With most of the phones in the market, I can dail the last called number with just 1 or 2 touches. But this dud of a phone requires 4 to 5 touches (steps) to redial a last called number.
4. Address book entries - only 1 phone number can be stored for a person. With several other phones in th market we can store several phone numbers, e-mail IDs, address details etc., etc.,
5. Call log - we cannot delete selective entries from call log. We have to delete the entire bloody log !
6. Camera - aim and click does not work. It requires 2 or more presses of the click button as some image centering or some other such stupid thing happens with the first click.
A totally useless half baked business phone is what I would call this LG GT 540.

2) If WiFi doesn't work, check your router settings (if u have a router). If mobile network doesn't work, contact your mobile service provider as they may not have enabled your internet connection settings (not to do with your phone.

As for getting eclair(2.1), if it didn't already come with it, then ur just gonna hav 2 wait for news on it like the rest of us.
No, the mem card won't have affected ur network settings, check your APN settings in Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile network settings>Access point names, coincide with ur carrier.
Also make sure "Mobile Network" box is ticked after doing the above.
Manual should help tbh.

Even with the screen protector on (that it comes pre-applied with), I haven't really had any serious problems with responsiveness.
