I got an LG Optimus S smartphone for a birthday present and I've had the phone for almost 3 months and its a really cool phone.

        This phone is rather sluggish & freezes up a lot. I've had it in for tech support numerous times all of which required hard resets. I would not recommend this phone unless you plan on spending time at the repair shops or on the phone getting issues fixed

          Rather a bummer. The OS supports lots of available apps, including IHeartRadio and TuneIn, which were very important to me because I like to stream radio--but I like real radio from actual brick-and-mortar radio stations, not "genre" internet "stations". Many of these stations have their own Android apps available for download. Almost none of this was available for my HTC Pure with the WinMo 5.6 OS, although I was able to find some third-party apps and other workarounds that enabled me to stream a few stations. Within these constraints, the Windows phone never let me down. If my signal was good, it would stream smoothly, and I still use it with my home WLAN for that reason.

          On the other hand, either the LG Optimus or the Android apps, or both have a serious problem. I can't stream anything for more than a few minutes before the stream has to be rebuffered. Neither does it help much to use my WLAN, which I can only do at home anyway.

          It can't be the processor; the new phone's processor is slightly faster than the old one.

          I wish I knew what it was.

                  froyo and no flash 10 support@?
                  You really can't complain about a free android phone especially one that's so cute! Other than the no adobe flash player 10 support, my other complaint is the internal storage. Even though you can add a bigger sd card you still need that internal storage. Even though the camera is only 3mpx it wouldn't be so bad if it had a flash (if you can figure out the right setting it's not as bad as you would think when you think of a 3mpx camera.) As far as the battery goes if you don't use it too much and use an app killer it lasts a while but if you're using it alot keep a car charger and extra sync cables (5pin MICRO usb cable- they actually have these at the dollar tree!) so you can plug it into a usb jack from any convenient electronic (cable/satellite box, wii/xbox/ps3 game systems, of course computers, etc. I LOVE ANDROID!!!!!!

                            The phone is very well built, it does not feel like a toy like some smart phones. (Palm Pre, I'm looking at you)

                            the battery life is what you expect in a mid-level smartphone (one day standby, few hours of talking, couple hours of app use, pretty standard. Plug the thing in when you go to bed, and you will be fine). Oh, and the battery is replaceable... unlike some phones by companies in Coopertino.

                            It could be a little snappier, and it would be nice to have a later version of Android... but for the price you cannot complain (currently free with contract).

                              Flash is available through 3rd party browsers. Good ones are Miren Browser, and Boat Browser Mini for android.

                                    LG is updating the SW with new Android Gingerbread (2.3) instead Froyo (2.2). I think that in a few days will be possible to uptade it through LG's website.

                                        this is a wonderful handset but it lacks one thing. the camera doesn't have a flash so you can't take pictures in the dark. the camera is excellent in daylight though. for anyone who likes good music, just install PowerAMP player on it and tell me the difference
