I own a lg gt540 my friends own lg km900.both of us felt that lg is not that good.ya the outlooks in fact is brilliant but comes to the quality itself its not that ideal.it always lag and it seems to me that my memory card in the phone seems can't connect to the phone.if wanna compare lg gt540 with the same feature of other brand of the phone sony x8 is the most suitable and my bro owns that.it seems that x8 is not lag at all and the sensitivity is definitely better than lg gt540..comes to buying a new phone, most of my friends prefer to buy htc or motorola..so i hope lg will produce a better quality with medium range price to attract thoso buyers..

      Max, 30 Apr 2010Just can't believe u say that!! WTH?? LG and specially Sa... moreLg good quality....meh lol they have had some good quality phones in the past but now they have fallen behind and shipped 20million low to mid range phones, so sad. Would never buy LG or Samsung, only if I wanted a low range phone maybe but then again I could get a cheap Nokia which would be comparatively 100 times better!

            in my experience, LGs are poorly made and many are featureless, mainly Verizon CDMA LGs, they're cheaply made and bland (ooh look at our new enV! It's got a full keyboard! Big deal, that's very common nowadays). My friend got a Versa, for Verizon, by LG, and the screen cracked and bled from a slight bump into a desk.

            LG blows and they're phones are weak. iPhone RULEZ! Just kidding, that PoS blows too, still no true multitasking yet cheap $120 Nokias have it (for example).

                It's not to say that the INITIAL quality is bad, try using a top of the line LG / Samsung phone for more than a year and you get what I mean. =)



                It just fails.

                  design of the LG phones are excellent but features are not good
                  features of the samsung phones are good but design is not good
                  LG should make smart phones
                  samsung should improve the design and aftersale service

                    In my opinion, LG lost its momentum...after period when LG was leader in high-end mobiles (Renoir), right now LG has only average phones, no announcement about top-end phones. I've changed my Renoir for Sony Ericsson Vivaz. Nokia is planning N8... It's a pitty for LG cause I liked it's products.

                      WTH??
                      LG and specially Samsung LACK IN QUALITY?!
                      if u even lived under a rock by now u must saw for example U900 Soul a phone that it's quality fit it among the best and yet to date few are comparable with it...
                      obviously u r not a LG or Samsung lover not even phone lover but a fanboy that can't see others are making better devices compare to his mighty favorite brand.
                      oh man with 27.1 million handsets and 20% growth lower than expected?!
                      wonder what was expected from LG.
                      and must say even still LG not entered Smartphone market!!
                      really like to see Q2 results.

                        hope that LG kicks it up a notch.
                        they used to make really sexy phones with the specs to match.
                        but lately they've been trailing, but the new LG mini looks hot!

                              This's not so surprise. Look what LG did with its flagship KM900 Arena last year for example? There were tons of bugs. They fixed a few, but after awhile they just leave it be and jump to another project.
                              Now they want a share from smartphone market. So they come up with a model that look amazingly smart for 5th graders. Good luck with that! Let's put HTC, SE, Moto and LG smartphones side by side and you'll see what I mean.

                                This is LG, every post I have seen on LG here at GSMarena has been positive in financial news. I have much reason to believe they will continue making more and more profits for a long time to come.

                                Im interested in hearing about the new smartphones HOWEVER I am really interested in there Windows 7 phone that thing look amazing.

                                  They got profit lower than expectation because it is more difficult now to find someones that stupid enough to buy their phones, but still, there are people that stupid enough to buy their phones.

                                    All phone companies barring nokia and apple are now concentrating in Android and lg seems to be a little late. But one good phone can change their fortune. Lg is so poor in naming their phones especially the mid range and low end.
