  1. "Extremely Poor Battery Life"

    I previously owned an LG phone and was very happy with it. After 4+ years I finally broke my old phone. I went to the Verizon/Alltel store to replace this phone with one that is as similar as possible. I have been back several times because this phone dies after about 12 hours, even on days when I don't use it.

Yeah, it may not allow you to take videos and all of the fancy things other phones can do, but it's easy to use and carry around. Read more
