Go LG kick them all specially (most pathetic SE and Nokia).

mine's gone back to orange.
my faults:
Video Camera records/playback out of sync in highest resolution.(640x384)
Limited Divx compatibility.
Texts go to outbox, say "failed", but recipient receives them fine.
New email notifications repeat even after new mail is read.
Compose email, can't turn on T9 dictionary.
Compose email, typing response very,very, slow.
Music Player lists album tracks alphabetically, rather than by track number.
I found the same faults on two orange Renoirs and one i tried in a "3" store demo. I can't wait around for LG to do an update, it may never happen. SO it's time to choose a different phone. Pixon? Less features i know but maybe less bugs? I'll test every feature on it to find out...

There are a few things in the Viewty that i personally don't like and i was just wondering if anyone that is using a Renoir can answer my question so that i'd know whether the Renoir is the right phone for me.
Like the Viewty is the Renoir unable to play Java applications i.e. Games/Third Party Java software while playing Music?
Also Like the Viewty is the Renoir also unable to play the radio through it's loudspeaker?
These are the two things i'd really like to know about the Renoir before getting one.
I hated using the built in browser on the Viewty so i downloaded Opera Mobile, but i can't listen to music and browse the web with that Opera Mobile i HAD to use the browser that was initially installed on the Viewty.
If any of you could please answer my question i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

alex, 23 Nov 2008I got my renoir on the 28th of October it broke on the 21st... moreExactly the same thing happened to me - didn't drop the phone or even knock it once in the 3 days I had it and the LCD screen developed an internal crack, with no markings or damage on the exterior.
Luckily Orange were really good and sent me a replacement the next morning (a Sunday!), so no complaints there.
From my experience have the following points:
Interface is pretty good - like the internet browser and also find texting reasonably easy despite having large fingers.
It's my first touch screen & it's taken me a while to get used to scrolling through menus - it's not quiet as smooth as the iphone (from my brief experience, don't hate me!) although you do get used to it.
Nice that it comes with an 8Gb mini sd in the boxplus one of those stupid pointer pens you can attach to the phone and leave dangling - waste of time.
Sound is really good with decent headphones attached although no 3.5mm jack which is annoying. Only issue is that it doesn't play albums in the right order - it plays them alphabetically (i.e. not track 1 then 2 etc). Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update but I'm not sure whether LG do that - there doesn't seem to be any up on the website or any function on the software to search for it, hopefully it comes in time.
Overall I'm reasonably impressed but slightly worried about the screen breaking again - not sure if Orange will be so accomodating if it breaks again so might have to get insurance.
Hope that helps

there's no point of arguing which 'brand' is better or not. Jus ask everybody out there, if u r a 'mobile crazy' like me, u properly won't stay with a hp for more than a year rite? and every phone has the merit & dismerit points there, where to find a 100% perfect one? furthermore, sometimes is ur luck that r u getting the product without quality issue during there processing...who knows? (ps. i work in a capacitor firm that 90% of all electronics company using our product) so jus go for wat u think u like on this particular phone.

jonesdude, 22 Nov 2008Just got my new replacement from Orange. Guess what. It sti... moreI just got my very own Renoir today :)
The sound volumn isn't that bad. Not louder than N73 of course.
Touch Responsive is better than i thought.
It does not give me any problem till now after 12 hours. I hope it will not give me any problem. But so far its still work perfectly. :)
Actually after reading your post. I think you are actually a pure Anti-LG fre@k. You didn't even place any of your finger on the Renoir yet.
Renoir is not a rubbish but u are.

Let me start by saying. I'm comparing this phone with my old Nokia N95 8Gb ( which is now with my Wifey ). The Nokia N95 lasted only 2months with me and I was not happy with the picture quality because there always seemed to be a fog or haze on all my pics. The N95 always hanged and just didnt feel like a $600+ USD phone. I expected more for my hard earn dollars.
To those who wanted to know if the LG Renoir takes a 16gb mirco sd hc. Yes it does, I have one in my Renoir now... Man, its great still runs just as fast as with a 8GB. But, I can take 11,543 8mp pics ( I already have 545 5mp pics on the memory card now) and I already loaded this thing with 8mb of music,videos, and pics. And the memory card usage is only 5% ... Definitly an awesome phone.
I'm very happy with this phone soo far. Pics are great if you know how to work with a camera. Night pics come out great when you mess with the ISO settings. Speakers could have been louder but its enough to wake me up from a dead sleep ( I use it as an alarm to wake me up in the morning).
The call reception is ROCK SOLID. The caller on the other line can hear me loud and clear. The Reception is ROCK SOLID compared it to my N95 8GB. I'm getting full bars where my N95 8GB wasnt. GPS works 10times better than the N95. And this thing looks soo sexy as well. The Screen is bigger than a N95 and quality I think is alittle better than the N95...
The software is very simple. Compared to the Nokia brands. I guess thats why people dont like it. But, Its soo easy that a 2nd Graded could figure it out. But, bottom line is if your interested in a GREAT Camera phone that doesnt hang like the NOKIA brands then definitly think about getting this phone...
