              I think the phone is GREAT!
              But, the only problem that I am having is with the Caller ID. Whenever someone calls me it always comes up as private number and I don't know how to change it.

              Can someone help me please?

                          Well i read your opinions and i noticed that you have problems using your apllications...to load games follow the next steps:
                          1)Enter the phone menu, then go to applications, go to settings and finally press 3698#*#
                          2)Doing this you will have on your phone display: Toogle(Cur:Disabled)
                          Make another folder
                          Delete all
                          3)Pressing the toogle option you will have now on your phone display Toogle(Cur:Enabled)
                          4)Once you have followed the first 3 steps download some games. You may find only the .jar part of the game but using a program(jadgen) you will also have the other part of your game .jad
                          Once you have the both parts(.jar and .jad) rename your games as: 00.jar 00.jad, 01.jar 01.jad, 02.jar 02.jad and so on....For example: if you have a game called bowling you must have bowling.jar and bowling.jad. As i told you you will rename them as: 00.jar 00.jad
                          5) Enter the phone menu, then go to applications then go to settings and finally press 3698#*#
                          6)Press 2 and you will have a message like this one: folder 00 added, folder 01 added, folder 02 added, etc.
                          7)Now go to your mobile phone manager and connect.Before you do what i said you had in your phone only: animation, audio, videos, images. Now you will have a java folder too. Now copy your games(00.jar 00.jad 01.jar 01.jad etc) and paste in the java directory.
                          8)Once you have done this, disconect your phone from the computer.
                          9)What you have to do now....open the phone menu go to application, press my application and surprise! :D You will find there your games
                          10)The last step and the hardest is this one...Why? Because you must enjoy playing the games and be proud of your mobile phone:P
                          Good Luck ;)

                                  OK..I've read your posts and noticed a problem with the usb connectivity. You should take the next steps: 1.Connect your phone to the computer using an usb cable 2.Start the LG U8180 phone manager application and also select USB from your connectivity phone menu 3.Select your com port (mine was COM5) the working port has an * so you should select that one. 4.After you started a new usb connection from the phone press the (END CALL KEY) by doing that you'll return to the usual phone screen (the one showing your operator). 5.Press connect from your computer software and it should work..cheers! and a Happy New Year!

                                    Please help, I am having the same problem as others. I can't connect the phone to the PC. In the Set Com Port in the Phone Manager I have an * next to COM 5 so I have selected this on and USB is selected. Also in the System Device Manager I have made sure that the devices are all working properly but still I get a fail to connect message. If you know the answer to this please can you e-mail me at dan_chishick@hotmail.com.

                                    Have a Happy New Year.

                                      Well, where to start. MP3 Files: The memory capacity of the phone is 32MB shared amongst everything. I believe that the software itself is taking up about 11MB, which leaves you 21MB of memory for "your stuff". The problem that you are having is that your MP3 files are too large, ie. 6MB each. You should reduce the file size, using an MP3 converter, and make the file into a smaller file. You will loose sound quality, however on the phone you will not notice much difference (due to the fact that your phone is not a complete 5.1 dolby surround sound system!). Next, those whos phones will not connect to the phone, you must ensure that you are connecting through the right 'com' port, which you must set using the software.To do this, open LG Phone Manager, Go to:
                                      [TRANSFER] in the main menu up the top, then go to [SET COM PORT], and change this to 'COM6', ensure the 'USB' check box is checked, and then press OK. This should now enable you to connect. As far as installing java, I do not know, but am yet to find out.
