I've got a P500 that's 6 years old now and still going strong. I loaded a custom ROM, and for a phone this old and with this specs it still performs well. I don't use it anymore except as a wifi hotspot sometimes but yeah, it still works.

I've had my Optimus One P500 (with the official car kit) for about four years now, and it's one purchase I've never regretted. Its obsolete processor may not be a powerhouse, and the well-known touchscreen bugs render all but the most basic multitouch gestures impossible, and it missed out on having a front-facing camera, but the Optimus One still has an Ace up its sleeve: Because of its whopping 512MB RAM, and its immense popularity, this four-year-old device can still run the latest Android OS (Kitkat) almost flawlessly.

Been 2 years now, and I have not faced a single problem up to date. Never even felt the need to change. And when i do get a new one, it'll definitely be an LG!

I lived with the p500h for 1.5 years. My first step was a spare battery (ebay, $7) and later a 32 gb sd card.
I didn't root it, but that would allow you to free up some space if, for example, you didn't require the rather large facebook app. In my research, SuperOneClick seems to be the way to go, as there isa Root and an Unroot button. Bookmark xda-developers forum for detailed discussions ot that topic.
Good little phone. I miss the calander. Good luck.

The only drawback of this phone is 177 MB of memory is really little memory. And because of that I am deprived of the many wonderful applications on the Android Market. Another drawback is the battery!.

Its a good phone,totaly worth the price. Camera flash is a weakpoint,you wil mis it. And i cant seem to find high graphic games for the phone in the market,.i wonder if games like call of duty,medal of honor etc is not suported by the phone or its not available in android market. If fifa games were suported,i would have rated lgp500 9points out of 10. Nevertheless,it a good phone.
