The first one was a victim to being laid on the table of a cafe and have water spilled on it. The inner screen was black, no longer could I check my texts, and that's really what all I did, I hardly ever call and still don't. <br /><br />Since it was only on the screen (indicator's weren't tripped) I got it replaced and loved it.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Good sound<br />Good images <br />good ability to text on (got an lg 3400 and returned it because the txting joy on it compared to the 3200 were not the same. <br />Great selection of ringtones<br />Able to be connected to usb to charge <br />Good budget to buy!<br /><br />Cons:<br />No camera<br />No ability to pix message or recieve pix messages<br />No mobile web <br /><br />Also one more thing to the pros. It was so able to be dropped a lot. I tossed it at a wall when i was mad sometimes and it got scratched, but if I tossed my 3400 at a wall I would be thinking i would have a screen shatter.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=35677#review35677 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=35677#review35677 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:51:23 GMT <p><i>lilz216 submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i have to say that this phone is great it has great texting and i text on it all the time. having no front screen is kinda a bummer but i still love it anyway. i love to text and this phone does the job. this phone has a good speaker system. dis phone rocks</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=29421#review29421 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=29421#review29421 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:55:34 GMT <p><i>-J- submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It was my first. I hated it at first. The boring bland look, no camera, didnt have any games. Was a basic simple phone. Just to talk and txt. No more no less. I had the phone for a little more than a year until upgraded to the chocolate. Man did i miss my old 3200. Sure the phone was simple yet it never gave me no problems, I probably dropped it more than a billion times. The thing was just beat up but it never gave out on me. The most reliable phone i have ever had. And it was also dropped in water. Still worked for a year after. My dad had the same phone he loved it also. I have a PDA know but it still isnt as reliable i think as the VX 3200!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=23392#review23392 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=23392#review23392 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 00:15:22 GMT <p><i>CTownBabyGirl submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Look I am one of those people who always has the latest phone no matter how much it costs with everything on it, MP3, camera, video, web, aim, u name it. 5 yerars now i have been switchin up with these expensive phones about every 6 months i have gone through a sidekick, kyocera slider remix, nokias, razr, krzr, chocolate you name it and have had malfunctions in all the phones (this is without droppin them at all and they were not refurbished) i realized that the more stuff you get on the phone the lest resistant it is. I have had suck a head ache with these gadgets and recently made a choice to get a basic simple inexpensive phone. I chose this LG.. a friend of mine had it for 3 years and i used to make fun of her all the time but it is still in perfect condition, she has dropped it a trillion times and its sturdy as a rock. As i was laughing at her i was spending hundreds on new phones breakin every couple months. I broke down and bought this phone... i have to admit i am soo pleased, it is the simplest to use and i wont have to worry about it breaking<br /><br />Pros:<br />clear clear screen<br />extremely resilient<br />loud so i can hear what people are saying<br />clear speaker<br />you can set voice recordings as ringers which is amazing because the speaker is clear and you can just record music with out paying for ring tones<br />basic, no hassles<br />a few cute display settings<br />buttons are nice and easy<br />batter last pretty long and charging is quick<br />funny but a cute mirror border around the screen so you can check ur reflection (for the women who worry about their makeup)<br />light weight<br />mobil web<br /><br />Cons:<br />could use a screen on the front to tell whose calling but you can open up the cover and see who it is with out picking up<br />slow mobil web (but i dont use it alot anywhase)<br />reception can be hard to find at times but alot of times that just has to deal with the company you are working through<br />could use some games<br />the inbox gets filled pretty quick and this annoying message pops up about it being 80% full</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=21748#review21748 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=21748#review21748 Wed, 21 Feb 2007 06:20:30 GMT <p><i>tcaster57 submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>OK, so it's not a camera, mp3 player, or computer, but what do you really buy a phone for?

The screen has turned into a kaliedoscope of random colors and the data/usb port at the bottom of the phone no longer works. Other than that the phone still functions and hasn't lost any functionality. This poor phone has withstood 2 spills, about 1/2 dozen drops on concrete, high heat, several tosses across the room, and the usual everyday rough-handling a phone might endure during over a year of daily use. That said, this is a robust phone that'll take a beating!<br />Accessories are relatively easy to find and inexpensive. <br />The display is highly customizable.<br />You can choose custom ringtones and graphics or photos to identify individual callers. <br />There are handy features indluded such as an easy tip calclator, highly customizable alarm clock settings, vibration, supports real-tone ringers and photos, descent color range for photos about 16 ringers included, easy to use calculator, voice dailing and 1-key speed dialing, multiple entries per contact (about 5 or 6 slots) with an email address pere entry, well-lit keypad and customizable backlight options, quick jump to a contact on your list, makes short phone call records, fair reception (better than many, worse than some), light-weight slim design, great speakerphone, moderate battery life and more.<br /><br />Here are the few con's:<br />- Only allows 50 incoming messages to be stored, and once you've reached 80% of your inbo storage space you'll receive an annoying note telling you this each time you open the box.<br />- The text messaging is less user-friendly than other phones. And if the message fails to send on the 2nd attempt the message you've typed is lost.<br />- A bit slow on powering up and shut off.<br />- Annoyingly slow internet (@ metro) functioning.<br />- No games included<br /><br /><br />The only thing that I feel this phone lacked was a camera and at least 1 game.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=19887#review19887 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=19887#review19887 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 22:59:51 GMT <p><i>xyzpdq123456 submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is perfect for what you want it to do, make and receive calls and an ocassional text or 2! This phone is not fancy in any way, but I knew that when I bought it in the first place. This phone is sturdy as a rock and can withstand tons of drops beatings earthquakes whatever! No it doesnt have a front screen, but DUH didnt you know that when you bought it!!! It is a really neat phone! I like how you can record a voice memo and set it as your ringtone!!! Sweetness! I just went to a ringtone website and held my 3200 up to the speaker, recorded it (it took a coulple of times to get it to sound right) then I saved it and set it as my ringtone!

It is the service provider that drops the calls. If you get dropped calls often and obviously can’t change service due to fees and penalties... call your provider and tell them each time you have a dropped call most of the providers will gladly credit those calls but if they don’t know about them there isn’t much they can do. As for the phone it self... I worked for a wireless company many years ago and I will say that LG has come a long way. So don’t knock the phone knock the service provider.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=17069#review17069 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=17069#review17069 Mon, 12 Jun 2006 06:47:09 GMT <p><i>hags2k submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone because it was cheap and it was basic. I just wanted a reliable phone without any frills. I thought this was a great choice. I was mistaken.<br /><br />First of all, it doesn't hold its own even as a "basic" model. The reception seemed okay at first, but after a while it just got worse and worse. I've used other people's phones in every area where I typically use my own and on the SAME SERVICE (Verizon Wireless). In all these areas my phone drops calls, despite having as many as FOUR signal indicator bars, yet I was able to hold the call and maintain calls without problems when using other people's phones. Even sprint phones, which get terrible reception in my area, don't drop calls even a tenth as much as my phone does.<br /><br />Several of my friends and my girlfriend's father own this phone as well, and they all have either had their phones replaced with other models through insurance, or are contemplating replacing their phones at their own expense. Perhaps not all of these phones are bad, but the fact that mine and most of my friends' phones are physically in good condition yet can't maintain decent reception or hold onto calls makes me VERY suspicious.<br /><br />So, this is a basic phone that can't do the basics. Caveat Emptor.<br /><br />Pros: Small, basic, pretty durable<br /><br />Cons: Doesn't do the only thing it's designed to do - make and receive calls consistently without dropping them. Only seems to work when I have at least FIVE reception bars, which is almost never.<br /><br />I'd take an old, black and white screen, and bulky nokia over this phone any day. In fact, I just bought one through eBay to replace this one for 12 bucks, and it's a huge upgrade as far as I'm concerned.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=16597#review16597 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=16597#review16597 Tue, 16 May 2006 19:46:32 GMT <p><i>radicalistic submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>PROS:<br />-Option for vibrate and ring tone at same time<br />-Strong vibrate; could feel through purse<br />-Great reception (Greater Cleveland w/ Alltel)<br />-Long battery life; could go four days w/o charging<br />-Easy to manage contacts<br />-Can set voice memos as ringtones<br />-Is very sturdy; only broke down after putting it through the washing machine (for the second time, had already dropped it, scratched the battery, gone through several faceplates)<br /><br />CONS:<br />-Not very many ring tones or wallpapers<br />-Occasionally dropped calls<br />-No outside screen<br /><br />Overall, this is a great phone and I am sad to see it go!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=15687#review15687 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=15687#review15687 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 20:06:34 GMT <p><i>corker submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this is the worst phone i have ever had the battery dies in 5 hours when i don't use it and 1 hour if i try to use it. i never get a signal that it can hold and if i do get a good signal it usually doesn't connect to the tower i am on my 3rd phone right now and i only screwed up the first one and the first two that i had were as bad if not worse than this one i can't wait to get a new phone that is not an LG at Christmas</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=443 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=15497#review15497 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=443&r=15497#review15497 Sun, 05 Mar 2006 04:40:29 GMT <p><i>jesse_111 submitted this review of the LG VX-3200:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had my LG 3200 for quite a while now.
