I've had this phone for 4 months.
I'd not buy it again.

First the internal screen stopped working almost immediately and I waited two months to get it repaired.

The software is buggy, The internal game doens't work so I'm not sure if it is good or not. The external display gets stuck on the "call in progress" graphic if you close phone without disconnecting a call. The "Please Wait" message appears fairly frequently and it takes ages to startup.

But, the most annoying thing is that LG seem to have forgotten the phone's primary uses. To call and sms. For some reason, they decided to put two buttons to access the camera (thats fairly useless), one button to read the Email (ie. spend money) one button to enter in I-Mode (also fairly useless) and no button to read sms...??!!

But a good point about the phone is that while the photos are crappy and you have to pay to get them out of the phone the flash light is very bright and makes a handy torch.

My friend advised me to buy a Nokia before I bought this phone, but it was cheap.

Next time I'm going to listen to him.

    This phone serves the purpose but other wise isnt too great. my friend has it and the camera isnt too great. it doesnt take videos, doesnt have bluetooth and becomes boring after a while. don't get me wrong its a pretty little phone but i suggest getting the LG KG245. its slightly better and looks it too. oh and the external screen of this phone isnt colour so just keep those things in mind when purchasing this phone. if u are buying you first phone this ones is great for a start but if you are looking for something with style and better features then stay clear from this one.

          I do not recommand this phone to anyone as it has a problem of re-charging the battery. It will start giving problems after six months or so...

            First, I think that it's on perpuse to dont let you transfer any files from pc to mobile and backwords cause they want you to use i-mode and give them money. Second to take photos for your contacts you must reduce the srceen resolution to 48x48 and then automatically will save it to "Phonebook Pictures". And last but not list I contact with LG support and they told me that the alarm clock works only when the phone is switched on for all LG models.HA HA.And that is not a Bug E?

                        don't know if there's an appz that allow u to send the pics from the mobile to the pc.. there are some unofficial appz like MYMobile but i don't know if its compatible with L342i. Anyway i use to send my pics via Mail from the mobile to the pc..here in italy every mail costs 1€cent/kb it's not so expensive.

                                  Hi,

                                  I have the cable, I have the software from the Italian site, but all it does is synchronise calendar and email, etc.
                                  Has anyone ever got photos off this phone using a cable?
                                  Regards,

                                  Richard.

                                        After several weeks of use, the LG L342i is not the good handset I was excpected. It go back tu support service after two weeks : software locked when I switch on the phone.
                                        A few annoying bugs :
                                        You cant extract pictures from the cellphone with a serial data cable : the LG software crash with an error if you try. There is a bug in the serial protocol of the cellphone.
                                        When you siwtch on the phone, there is a long delay (about a minute) before you can use it. If you want to got the SMS message box, you get a "please wait" error message.
                                        Sometime, the handset ask me the pin code by itself.
                                        Sometime, the handset loose the GSM signal when i'm not moving. I have to switch off and on the phone.
